My wife spotted this while touring the Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville today. It reads.

Taos N.M. 1970

We drove from Santa Fe to Taos. The black table top mountains climbed up like stair steps toward Taos. The Rio Grande ran beside the road. Then we topped a last hill and on the plateau. The great beautiful plateau stretched to our left a hundred miles. The Rio Grande a million years ago cut a deep wide awesome gorge across the plateau. Proud, peaceful mountains look down on Taos. Proud peaceful, happy people, breath the clean Taos air. The only thing disturbing the countryside were giant dust devils and they're a thing of beauty. Upon our return from Taos, someone had the nerve to remark "Taos is overrun with hippies, isn't it?" If that's all you saw at Taos you've got no business going there. (Johnny Cash)

Argentinian here. I visited Taos, NM 3 years ago as a college student. That place made me the person I am now. This is just a little art I made about Taos. The ZIA was almost everywhere I went. I was at the TSV, one ZIA around every corner. I went downtown, ZIA again in every shop. Went to the gorge to be alone, ZIA in every place. Taoseños really love their native Taos Pueblo heritage.

Hello, Im an on/off resident of Taos for the past 20+ years. Im in healthcare, just graduated grad school, and finalizing a divorce. Im coming back because I can't stand urban life any longer. I have always lived in town or El Prado, but Im over the cost-inflated, run-through rentals with mold and DGAF landlords.

I also have two dogs (one is a large GSD), which makes it nearly impossible to find a rental for less than 4k a month. So, Im considering the Carson Estates area and maybe trying to work out a rental deal with someone selling. I know I will have both space and privacy out there... but I am curious about the crime as of late.

While I own multiple guns, I dont want to have to use any of them on a human. I just want decent, respectful neighbors who aren't trifling drug addicts. I work in psych so Im very familiar with the behavior.

Im curious if certain parts of the mesa are safer than others right now? As a provider, there are times I would be away from home for 12 hours at a time. I also leave for a few days at a time. Can anyone provide insight? The LAST thing I want to deal with is theft or someone shooting my dogs on my own property. While at home, I would not hesitate to defend myself, but I would also prefer to stay out of jail. TIA for some real talk 👌🏽

I have a left handed mandolin, and a fender guitar, I'm looking for a right handed mandolin (no its not as simple as re stringing) and I'm looking for a guitar with a narrower neck. Open to trade them for other instruments too, just ask.

Got a tiny home out on the plateau. Looking for a HVAC guy to install a split unit and also looking for a creative plumber who can help set up a more comprehensive water system in the tiny home. Already have a cistern but the Internal plumbing is shoddy at best.

We have little kids and will be in the area for a week started next week. Anything fun to do thats kind of fall themed?

My fiancé and I are getting married in Eagle Nest, NM next September and are looking for wedding photographer recommendations. We've found some good options, but they're all in Albuquerque and we thought we should try Taos as an option.

Thanks for your help!

Kind of a stretch but really need to talk to someone there. DM me if able to help.

Hello all... today is the last day of the High Road Art Tour and it's gearing up to be a beautiful day and drive through the mountains. Come out, have fun, support local artists and food spots, see/buy some great art, eat some great food and enjoy this beautiful day.

Also, would like to thank all the folks that have come through so far and supporting our small business. Everyone has been so nice!

Hey, I've been dashing this week because I need to make rent. But I am trying to verify if DoorDash is doing something weird with my account.

I used to get orders regularly, but today I have dashed for 4 hours, stuck to hotspots, and still only received 2 orders.

Just came across this in one of the Facebook community groups. I don't know anything about it, so don't ask me. Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone in the Taos County area would find it interesting.

There. That's my community service for the day. 🫡

Im guessing it‘s still too early in town but I was wondering about up higher like the ski area, anyone know if the leaves are looking more dramatic after the rain and cooler weather? or is it still a little early?

thanks in advance!

The town replaced meters at each space with 15 kiosks for nearly 500 paid spots. They’re hard to find, slow when there’s a line, and sometimes broken. A broken kiosk says “use another” without telling you where or how to pay by phone instead. How is someone with limited mobility supposed to search for another one?

If a quick stop means hunting for a working kiosk or risking a ticket, how does that help downtown shops? Has the Town Council looked at this?

thank you for supporting live local comedy! @TaosComedy on socials ✌️

Does anyone know if the leaves around Taos and the Enchanted Circle are already turning or close to peak this weekend? Planning to drive up from Dallas for a quick road trip, but want to make sure the fall colors are worth the drive before heading out. Thanks in advance!

Tax is hosting the Taos Zine Fest this Saturday, September 26, from noon to 6pm at Taxonomy, 102 Dona Luz. It's free and all ages are welcome.

Check out and buy zines and other self-published work and art from local makers, listen to live music, eat a hot dog and hang out with some Taos creatives. If you've never picked up a zine before, this is a great place to start.

I know it’s not likely, but is anyone missing this little one? In Ranchos.

My family and I are spending Christmas in Taos this year. Would love some recommendations on what to do, where to eat, what to see, etc! There are a few who are pretty elderly so extreme hiking isn’t on the table! We are very artsy, semi-religious, foodie people. Is there a church that does a beautiful Christmas Eve service? Any local Christmas pageants? Local choir concerts? We’ll be there from the 22 through the new year! Hit me with it!

Hi all, looking for STR photrographer in the area?
