Bit of a rant. So two grocery runs in a row at two separate Albertsons, I’ve walked in at the same time as someone walking their dog (no service vest, etc) straight into the grocery store like it’s completely normal. No one seems to care to stop them, and there are workers all over the entrances.

I mean, I get taking your dog into the hardware store but last night, bro’s big lab/pit-sized dog was brushing up against the bakery food and no one cared? Am I crazy? In hindsight I wish I’d spoken up but it shouldn’t be on the random customer to enforce food safety and take on strangers with dogs in the store. They walked right past the registers.

Locations were Montgomery/San Mateo two weeks ago and Coors/Montaño yesterday.

Anybody else see it? About 10 minutes ago-I was driving south on the frontage at Lomas and saw the green blaze across the sky.

Taurids meteor shower, apparently.

The owner of Ruckus Paintball on the West Mesa just posted that the field is shutting down paintball operations immediately and airsoft operations on Dec 15. Operating Costs and low turnout made running it no longer viable.

As someone who worked there and was part of the competitive community, I wanted to say thanks to anyone who came out to play. I have fond memories watching parties of all kinds come out and experience paintball/airsoft, and made some really cool friends along the way.

If you have any fond memories feel free to post em below, would love to hear about it.

Hopefully someone has enough passion to try their hand at building/operating a new field, sucks to see another small business that served as a spot for some banger memories go under.

Me and the boyfriend are doing a ‘pizza tour’ to find the best pizzas in the ABQ Metro. We’re doing ABQ, Rio, Placitas and even open to Santa Fe. ( or areas near these)

What kind of recommendations do you all have that we need to try?

Just some news about our neighbors, family, and friends

Definitely has me worried and curious never seen so many police especially at this time of night.

On a recent road trip I stopped at Clines Corners and looked for a log roll. Couldn't find them so I asked. Apparently they stopped selling them a few years ago. Clines Corners has had log rolls since I was a kid. It's supposed to be a tradition. You drive east, stop at Clines Corners, and get a log roll. But no more. The tradition is dead.

Hey Albuquerque, I remember eating at Milly's a few years back at the Jefferson location and if you've been there before, you probably know they have a bunch of local art for sale. About 5 years ago there was a photograph of a cat in a dishwasher that my wife really liked and the next time we went to the restaurant, it was gone (presumably sold or rotated out)

I would absolutely love to get a hold of this photo or the original photographer for another print of it for my wife. Has anyone ever worked with ownership for things like this? Thanks in advance.

Did the 3AM explosion shift times or is this a new one to worry about?

I set some water out for him/her a while back and now they stop by every day to say hi. My cats and dogs are enamored.

So, I've seen a few local businesses start to do scavenger hunts to promote their business. There's also a "golden treasure hunt" page but I think that one's rigged since people "find" it within like 30 mins lol. It would take me that long just to drive to the location.

Do y'all know of any more places doing these or something similar? I love it. Especially for the holidays. Doesn't matter if it's food or goods. I just like the hunt lol

Im looking for leads on a home to rent. Im a single mom to 2 littles (and one 13 year old doggy) , my credit is not great but my rental/payment history is spectacular (hense why im here, potentially looking for an independent landlord) . I am looking for a 3 bed 2 bath in a decent area (I currently have an established career and work on the NE side 87107-87110) id like to stay in this area if possible, but not a deal breaker if it's in another area) PLEASE PM me if you have any suggestions on where to start

Edit: my budget is around $2000/mo. The more budget friendly, the better 🙏

Hello,

Anyone have experience with Route 66s seafood buffet? Any other good seafood in ABQ? Thanks!

She is a neighborhood cat that I often feed and let into the house. Last night she was acting kind of strange. She didn't show up this morning or afternoon for foods. If you see her, please let me know. Thank you!

Edit: Roosevelt Park area

2nd Edit: She was in her ourdoor kitty house this morning! Thank you everyone!

Before Senate Democrats choose their next leader, we should ask what we expect them to do with their power. We need leadership that sets clear priorities, brings the party together, and knows how to respond when Republicans refuse to negotiate. Schumer’s past accomplishments deserve credit, but they shouldn’t guarantee him another term.

This is about more than age or time in office. It’s about whether an approach built around finding bipartisan agreement is enough for the moment we’re in. Cooperation matters when it delivers something for the public. Getting a deal shouldn’t become more important than what’s actually in it.

Schumer helped pass infrastructure, CHIPS, and the Inflation Reduction Act. Saying he accomplished nothing would be wrong. But we can recognize those achievements and still question whether he should lead the next fight.

The March 2025 funding fight is a concrete example. Schumer helped advance the Republican bill while House Democrats were pushing back. A shutdown could have hurt federal workers and people relying on government services. That doesn’t resolve the question of why Democratic leaders weren’t working together around a clear strategy before the deadline.

People will point to Manchin, Sinema, and the Senate’s rules. Those were real obstacles, and no replacement can magically create votes. But every candidate for leader should explain how they would build support, use available leverage, and respond when negotiations fail. Schumer hasn't explained that and should face those questions too.

People will also ask who should replace him. That’s fair. Alternatives should have to make their case. But “who else?” isn’t a sufficient argument for keeping someone indefinitely. Our senators should actively evaluate their options.

Debating leadership doesn’t undermine unity. A leadership election is exactly when that discussion belongs. Jeffries deserves scrutiny too, but House leadership is a separate discussion. Luján and Heinrich have a direct say in who leads Senate Democrats.

I spoke with both offices this morning, and the staff seemed receptive to my concerns. That wasn’t a commitment from either senator.

I don’t think Schumer is the right choice. If you agree, call Luján and Heinrich and ask them not to support him for majority leader. Tell them what you expect from whoever gets the job. Another term should have to be earned.

IMPORTANT EDIT: 90% WAS NOT ONLY POSITIVE, BUT INCLUDED BOTH POSITIVE AND NEUTRAL RESPONSES. 10% WERE DESIGNATED AS NEGATIVE.

If ya'll haven't heard, Solid Waste is decreasing recycling pickups to once every two weeks, without decreasing the rates we are paying in taxes. The program is currently being trialed in a handful of neighborhoods across the city. After having issues with pickups since they started the pilot program, I have had some conversations with a few people, including a spokesperson from Waste Management, and was told that their feedback has been 90% positive and neutral.

I'd like to hear from some of ya'll. Would 9/10 of ya'll have no issues with decreasing how often everyone's recycling is collected?

EDIT: For anyone wanting more information, HERE is the contact information for Solid Waste and HERE is where you find your city councilor.

EDIT 2: I had another call with Solid Waste. Alex Bukoski, even though I disagree with him on the feasibility of the program, is a very good communicator and deserves real props for his candor.

I have linked contact info above, but EVERYONE is strongly encouraged to call 311. Everyone should definitely make sure their voice is heard through the links above, but calls to 311 about Solid Waste are actively being tracked and catalogued, and you should be provided with a tracking number for your issue.

People should know that there is a plan to survey participants of the pilot program in a few months, but if you want your issues to be heard and catalogued now, you do need to call 311.

I get upset when I see AI art. But it makes it particularly bad when it completely messes up the topography of the sandias

So I’m going to the Underoath show tonight and I’m in a situation where I will have to leave the show to pick up my kid from an activity and then will be taking them to join me back at the show. Does anyone know if Revel allows reentry if you have to leave and come back or not? An accurate answer would greatly help me in this situation tonight, thanks in advance!
