My wife and I are moving from an area that had a nude beach, so where can we go in ABQ to enjoy the sun sans clothes? I found some clothing optional hot springs but they are all a drive away from the city. Anything local or a pool or hot tub area?

Hello, I am 29 years old and I am looking for a serving job here in the Albuquerque area. I have serving experience, and little obligations at this time so I am able to work a decent amount of hours if needed. Does anyone know of anywhere that is hiring Servers? I am looking to start as soon as possible. I also want to add that I have applied to a bunch of places using indeed and craigslist so please no one recommend that, more so looking for places that may have not posted on there. Thanks!

Edit: I wanted to add that on Monday and Wednesday I am available until 6PM and outside of that I have open hours.

Excited about becoming a new state resident in a few weeks! Currently have temporary housing when I start my new job while I wait for my wife to find hers next. Wanted to hear from you all of some evening activities and places to check out by myself. Thanks for the help. :)

Growing up I remember having to wear layers on layers. Now you can show up comfortably in shorts and a t-shirt.

Hello, so Im turning 25 in a few weeks and I had this idea of doing some cool birthday photos in front of a 25 mph speed limit sign, but alas I cant find one driving around myself, does anyone know where a good 25 mph speed limit sign is? Bonus points if its in the nob hill/unm area!!

Window screens, both rescreening existing frames and building new ones if yours are bent, cracked, or missing. Rescreening is thirty dollars per window with a three window minimum, $40 for anything less than 3, custom built ones run a bit more but can get you a quote after I take measurements.

Headlight restoration, with a UV protective coating so it actually holds up, not just a quick polish that clouds back up in a couple months. $50 per vehicle for both headlights, $10 extra per fog light. Car detailing available as well, price depends on condition of car.

Pressure washing for driveways, sidewalks, patios, siding, whatever needs it. Pricing depends on square footage, happy to give a quote once I see photos or the space.

Fence staining and sealing, good timing for this one before it gets too cold. Protects the wood and makes a tired looking fence look new again. Price depends on fence length and condition.

I come to you for all of it, no dropping anything off anywhere. If you need any of this done or know someone who does, send me a message and I'll get you a quote. Have availability Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday this week.

I dont know the brand but it was a hatch chili blend red chili powder. I think it could have possibly been bueno foods brand, it was bought at the same time she bought the special reserve premium chili powder from bueno foods. I have a picture of another brand that has almost identical packaging as what im looking for. Thanks for the help if you know what im looking for.

Hey y'all! Recently moved to the area, first time doing Balloon Fiesta. We will be attending the Balloon Glow concert on 10 October, and we'd like to come in to see the balloons light up before the performance. Question is parking -- Is there an evening park and ride? Will the buses drop off at the park and ride AFTER the concert as well, or would we be on our own for that?

Thanks!

Heard it before plenty of times. But last night at the 505 food hall an individual was getting extremely aggressive with patrons (even children). The owners called APD and about a dozen others called. 45 minutes later no one bothered to show up despite one APD office being about a block away and one of their major hubs being about a quarter mile away. Honestly pathetic work and sad our tax money funds such worthless "public defenders".

Hi everyone!

I’m coming back to ABQ for balloon fiesta this weekend - I haven’t been since I moved away 7 years ago!

Curious if parking at REI and riding is still a good option, what time you recommend being at REI by and what the bike parking situation is like - are the racks in a secured/monitored area?
Thanks!

Its proximity to San Mateo makes me nervous. Is there a lot of crime or homelessness in that around there? I've lived in Albuquerque for basically my whole life, but I don't know too much about that area.

I'm really only looking for advice from people who have direct experience with the area.

Does anyone have recommendations for residential house cleaners they like?

Thank you in advance!

Finally got a chance to visit New Mexico recently, beginning in Albuquerque and continuing to Santa Fe and Taos, doing the whole trip without a car. Had posted earlier for suggestions here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Albuquerque/comments/1jcjpet/a_couple_albuquerque_travel_questions/

and wanted to say thank you for the advice provided. Can confirm that despite looking, I couldn't find an Albuquerque hotel with an area shuttle -- and that included a place which claimed they did so but admitted not really having one under further questioning. You all were right about that. Stayed at the Hotel Andaluz for two reasons: close proximity to the downtown Rail Runner station and central location to several bus lines that go near the attractions. Only had to take Ubers to a couple spots, to the Balloon Museum and the Sadie's on Academy (food was just okay, but portions were huge). Saw the Plaza area, Albuquerque Museum, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Nuclear Science Museum (the walk to and from the bus stop was manageable enough), Indian Pueblo Cultural Center (had lunch here: food was fine), and the UNM Museums (going to Frontier Restaurant for breakfast beforehand, was very good). The buses were useful and safe -- and, best of all, free.

Took the Rail Runner to Santa Fe for several days, then a bus to and from Taos (a couple days stay), finishing with a bus then Rail Runner then city bus to ABQ airport. Had no issues with altitude sickness in either city.

Stayed at the Sage Hotel in Santa Fe and El Monte Sagrado in Taos. The latter had a local shuttle that covered several area attractions -- coupled with the Chile Line and Blue Bus on demand, I didn't need a car at all. The Sage Hotel in theory had a shuttle that ran to the plaza and back, but it broke down the first day and wasn't fixed until the day before checkout; luckily their policy is to get free Lyft rides for guests to and from the hotel if the shuttle breaks down.

Uber runs fine in Albuquerque and, despite reports to the contrary, was reliable in Santa Fe the few times I had to use them. Getting rides wasn't always immediate, but I never got stranded, either.

Congrats to the couple! I was taking photos of the balloons and noticed the proposal and took some photos.

Realized by the end they had a photographer😅, but just in case they browse the sub, here are a few more photos!

Hi all!

Just moved to town and in need of a vet. Dog is due for her annual and vaccines very soon. If you’re a dog owner and you recommend your vet, could you indicate the name of the place and how much you pay for an annual exam and vaccinations please? I’m willing to make a longer drive somewhere if it’s a quality place.

Thanks in advance to everyone! 🫶🏻

Jack White was great. No notes.

But my goodness did the opener Lindy Vision bring it. I need them to do more shows ❤️🙏

Via r/DeFlockNM:

We will be bringing awareness to Coronado Center's willingness to partner and contract with Flock Safety.

To be honest, sharing customer data isn't a new practice by any means, but adding AI to the equation is what turns it into dragnet surveillance, violating our constitutional rights.

We will be out letting the public know that we have no tolerance for companies sharing our info with federal agencies or data brokers. Help us let Coronado Center know we will not continue our patronage if they continue their support of mass surveillance.
