Plus the posse they were hanging with in my yard

Rant. Anyone else super sick of seeing dogs in grocery stores and other places with food everywhere! I went to Trader Joe’s the other day and just in that instance, there were TWO people inside with their little chihuahuas walking around. And one was poorly trained, jumping on people, and barking. No service animal vest or anything. Guys, come on, it’s gross! I love my dog too but they don’t need to come with you everywhere.

Obviously I have no issue with people who actually have trained service animals/alert dogs. But I’m highly suspicious that the little white yapper dog isn’t a TRAINED service animal. People that abuse this really piss me off, as someone who has a disability and might really need assistance from a service animal one day.

I guess employees are apprehensive to doing anything since service animals and certifications aren’t really regulated and it isn’t legal to ask for documentation, but I really wish it was. (As far as I know?) And again, this ruins it for people who truly need it.

Don’t be that person who ruins it for someone who truly needs the service animal! I promise Sprinkles will be ok at home!

There use to be so many signs of things filming around town, everyone i meet that worked film said its all dried up. But what happened? Taxes, Better backdrops else where? I remember hearing we were the next Hollywood. Would love to hear from some people in the film industry.

This has been the law in the state of New Mexico for like an entire year. This is actually safer and faster for everyone.

PS: Dear old-ass BMW driver who honked at me this morning from a half block away while I was taking advantage of this law, then yelled "fuck you" out the window at me: What I did was perfectly legal and did not impact you in the slightest. Take your blood pressure meds and mind your own goddamn business.

Hi ABQ! I'm one of the producers of High Desert Heatwave Fiesta, a burlesque, drag, and draglesque festival we're building for a Summer 2027 launch here in Albuquerque. Our team has decades of combined experience performing and producing in the NM scene, and we're doing it collectively, no single owner, no out-of-state promoter.

On Saturday, July 25 we're throwing Nud-I-Tease at The Launchpad (618 Central Ave SW), a fundraiser showcase featuring performers from across the state. Burlesque, drag, and draglesque all in one lineup, hosted by Raven Lass and Juni Beurre Amie, plus local art vendors.

Details:

Doors 7 PM, show 8 PM

$20 GA / $30 VIP

21+

Street parking plus paid lots nearby

If you've never been to a burlesque or drag show, this is a great first one, and if you have, you already know how fun a Launchpad crowd gets. Happy to answer any questions about the show or the festival in the comments!

A few days ago I shared an ad featuring a BCSO arrest. Pay attention to the claim the footage in this case was being accessed for a “sales demo”…

My husband and I moved to Albuquerque in 2024 for his job. I haven’t been out much h in ABQ, mostly due to work, kid, grandkid stuff… but I miss going to shows and mingling in the local punk scene.

I guess my question is there an older crowd that still frequents shows etc? I would love to meet some people and truthfully, I’d like to get out of the house and check out some local bands.

For extra context, my husband works weekend overnights, so this is more for my benefit than his.
Just looking for new friends who can relate!

Driving Tramway over the last month has been brutal. Cars in both lanes going 10mph under the speed limit and the traffic light cadence seems worse than before. Driving me mad!

Reason I’m asking is because I only one I know that serves Fideo as a main dish is “My Moms” located in Downtown but it’ll be closing permanently on July 31st. So I would like to know if there’s any Albuquerque restaurants that serves Fideo that isn’t a side dish or appetizer?

I have about a dozen or so twenty year old mini-dv tapes with family recordings that I'd like to rip to digital so I can make them available to family. I'm happy to pay to borrow/use someone's device. I can also offer 8mm/super 8mm film digitization in exchange if you have any old film you want to archive.

Hello, do you have positive experiences with dog boarding in town? Do you have any recommendations?

Would like to find a place that is safe and reliable that offers either 1:1 human or SAFE dog socialization for my dog. But overall, I'm looking for place that I know my dog will be taken care of while I am out of town for about a week.

Hello, new to the state. Wondering if the raves at Club Effex are usually safe? Thank you!

Looking for your favorite spot for green chile cheese fries (or xmas, whatever works!), with two preferences:

1 - They can't use green chile sauce / the liquid form. Looking for that actual chopped green.
2 - It needs to be real fries, bonus points for wedge style.

Hello, i'm trying to be bougie on a budget. I'm looking for a decently priced hair salon for curly hair. Walk-in friendly is a huge plus as im feeling impulsive. Thanks!

I’ve got a short-hair pup who doesn’t need anything else.

Hello! I am looking for recommendations for a couples photographer. My boyfriend and I want to get pictures taken before going back to long distance in a few months. Does anyone have suggestions? Open to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Preferably within budget for broke college students 😊

We’re looking for a very experienced dog trainer for our golden doodle puppy. We have small children and desperately need help!!!

Hello and sorry if this isn't allowed but I have 2 GA lawn Rufus du Sol for August 20th. I'm selling them for the price I paid which would be $120. HMU if you're interested.
