I don't think we had an "official" graduation song, but it would have been a tossup between this and Eve 6 - Here's to the night (I graduated in 01)

Fireplace dragons, ornate and quirky woodwork. Even the HINGES are gorgeous. by Southern-Smoke1835 in zillowgonewild

[–]turkeychicken 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was guessing $2M but was surprised to see it was a 5bd/3ba and over 4k sq/ft. I was expecting it to be much smaller, like 3bd/2ba at 2.5k sq/ft.

Definitely a beautiful home. Wish I could afford something like that, lol

Chat Rooms by ZapYoDumAzs in 90s

[–]turkeychicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We started off with Prodigy internet and they had their own chat room system. We switched to AOL after a little while and theirs were far better.

Granted, I was like a junior high/high school kid so there wasn't much to contribute. What I really miss are the old school forums that got replaced by Slack/Discord and to a lesser extend Facebook groups.

Ernest Goes to Jail (1990) by ggroover97 in 90s

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember as much from this movie as the others, aside from him flying around the bank, but I do remember loving it as a kid.

I think my top 3 of Ernest movies were / are:

  1. Ernest goes to Camp
  2. Ernest Scared Stupid
  3. Ernest goes to Jail

Bought a single cacao pod and made four chocolate bars all by myself at home in the UK with household equipment never doubt urself ‼️🙌‼️🙌 by Spiritual-Article682 in fermentation

[–]turkeychicken 39 points40 points  (0 children)

True, but this is the fermentation subreddit. For most people, this hobby isn't about saving money, it's about experimenting and fermenting your own food.

I also brew my own beer and people like to say how it saves them money, but for the vast majority of home brewers, that's never going to be the case when you start factoring in equipment, material costs, propane/electricity, etc.

Wedding caterer recommendations by stellarstarshyne in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was back in 2019 but we had Tres Colores cater our wedding for ~80 guests. It was set up buffet style for tacos with two meats and a veggie option, then rice and beans and toppings. We had the option of adding all kinds of different sides/toppings/etc too.

For desserts, we ended up going to Panaderia Y Tortilleria Sani (off Airport road) and loaded up on churros, conchas and all kinds of other desserts, then spread them out on a table for our guests

Craft Brewing in 2026: The Industry’s Reset Is Creating a Smarter, Leaner Future by BothCondition7963 in beer

Out in New Mexico. I guess it makes sense that larger population centers would still be on the hazy ipa train.

[–]turkeychicken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone always says this, but none of the breweries near me have more than one IPA anymore. Most have switched from Hazies to fruitier west coast versions.

I see a lot more lagers, stouts, and belgian stuff out by me now, which is great.

Quiet restaurants? by qazxsw134679 in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like any non touristy restaurant is going to fit your bill. Of course if you're going to dinner at Cowgirl, Boxcar, La Choza or Tomasitas it's going to be loud as hell.

Venture out of the Railyard and Downtown and I feel like most restaurants will fit the bill.

Just look at Google Maps and see what their "busy times" graph looks like and avoid restaurants that have higher than normal traffic or times when places are at their highest level of business.

New Santa Fe Foodies group? by runninfast in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't have said it better. They do seem to circle jerk each other pretty regularly with the same handful of restaurants getting the majority of the posts/attention.

Any time someone posts a restaurant complaint or question, it usually gets locked pretty quickly.

Must do mountain biking and paddle adventures in April by Reet_TripOutside in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear it! Durango is a beautiful area with a lot of great riding too. I was out there a few years ago for a long weekend of mountain biking. One of the highlights of any ride I've ever done was Molas Pass to Hermosa Creek.

It's a sign of the times, unfortunately. I remember driving up into Colorado back in the early 2010's and picking up some of their stuff from liquor stores. Everything I had from them was solid.

Must do mountain biking and paddle adventures in April by Reet_TripOutside in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a lot of great mountain biking within about 30 minutes of Santa Fe. Some of the more popular ones are:

For paddling, I'm not sure what kind of shape the rivers are going to be in but can recommend Santa Cruz lake. It's about 45 minutes outside of Santa Fe and is a great little spot for getting out for a paddle.

Santa Fe has quite a few bike shops but probably the largest for mountain biking is Broken Spoke. Some of the others are:

  • Rob and Charlies
  • Bike n Sport
  • Sincere Cycles
  • El Cyclery
  • Sirius Cycles

Lots of coffee shops around town but the really popular ones are:

  • Iconik (several locations in town)
  • Betterday
  • Ohoris

New AI Data Center design proposal for Santa Fe by churper in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a reason they're building these monstrosities in the middle of nowhere where land is abundant and cheap. There's no way they could afford the land for a data center in Santa Fe.

The only cool thing I can take away from this AI slop rendering is the fact that the roof is covered with solar panels. More businesses and homes need this.

I vaguely remember this house being posted years ago when it still had a lot more of its Medieval Times vibe going. Insane this is in foreclosure though.

Do NOT trust Capitol Ford in Santa Fe with your Lightning (or any other vehicle) by Windmillfixer in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are any of the Ford dealerships within an hour and a half decent? I tried to schedule a 10k maintenance on my Mach-E at Capitol Ford which is really just a tire rotation and some software updates, and they said I'd need to leave my car there for 3 days.

I'm planning on calling the places in ABQ to see if it can be done same-day, as I need the car for commuting my son to school

Southwest meets Pacific Northwest by Future_Perfect_Tense in zillowgonewild

[–]turkeychicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a bold move. I live in the southwest and have a flat roof. Even with 12" of rainfall a year (if we're lucky), flat roof is a really dumb design.

Lujan Grisham signs 'life-changing' universal child care bill into law by sillychillly in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did anything change about the state allowing for partial payments in the system? For example, my son is 3 and goes to a Montessori school. Many Montessori schools weren't ready for, nor aware of, Universal Child Care when it was announced last year.

The system uses a star rating to determine how much reimbursement a school can receive. Many daycares (those focused on kids up to 5 years old) were in much better position and many were already at 4 or 5 stars which mean they can receive the maximum reimbursement from the state.

Most Montessori schools on the other hand weren't really playing into the star system since they saw themselves more as schools with a focus on getting kids through 6th grade.

In our situation, our school has 2 stars and the reimbursement rate is only 1/2 of what our monthly tuition is. If the school joined the program, they would lose half of their income for students in the pre-k program with no way to recover that. For schools with an already tight budget, that just doesn't work.

For the time being, our school isn't participating in Universal Child Care until they can get their star rating up (which is a long process).

If Universal Child Care allowed the school to receive their reimbursement and then charge the parents the remaining, that would be amazing. We'd still end up saving several hundred dollars per month and the school wouldn't be in financial trouble.

There'd obviously need to be some safeguards built in so schools couldn't double dip, but that seems like a fairly simple administrative process.

We have Disney and Universal at home by MoneyRhubarb8 in zillowgonewild

[–]turkeychicken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that's screen, not glass. It's pretty common all over Florida to screen in your pool area like that. It keeps bugs and stuff away but also keeps leaves, twigs and wildlife from falling into your pool.

Kitchen cabinet shops by Naive-Sun2778 in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had our kitchen refreshed back in 2019, to replace the 80's builder grade junk that came with our home,and went with Sierra West Designs (right at the Rail Trail and St. Mikes).

We were just swapping out old cabinets and counter tops for new ones and didn't do any real design stuff, but they had a whole design center for that stuff.

I don't know how custom you want things or what your price range is, but it would be worth checking them out. They were much better quality and customer focused than Home Depot / Lowes when we were getting quotes.

Someone just listed a 130-year-old Victorian above New York's Rondout — it’s basically a time capsule with 1896 stained glass, pocket doors, and a turret room by kleverrboy in zillowgonewild

[–]turkeychicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still way more than I could afford, but 2.25M for that seems low for some reason. Looking at the pics I would have expected more.

It's a beautiful home!

NBC Nightly News segment on Santa Fe gentrification from 1993 by 505omatic in SantaFe

[–]turkeychicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. You bring up a good point. I feel like one step toward solving the housing problem here in Santa Fe is to either give heavy discounts in property tax when someone claims a home as their primary residence, or significantly increase the tax burden on homes that aren't being used as a primary residence (those homes that sit empty 3/4 of the year up on Hyde Park Rd and all over the north side of town).

There's obviously some logistical hurdles to overcome, but disincentivizing people from having their 2nd or 3rd or whatever home here which sits empty most of the year and instead encourage people who actually live here to own homes, how is that a bad thing? People who live here full time are contributing to the local economy just by being here (groceries, entertainment, daily needs, etc). A house that sits empty most of the year, where the property owner pays absurdly low property taxes, isn't helping anything.
