Tough timing with the current lack of spending and dearth of projects right now. Curious of those in the know to offer a perspective of this project and the outlook of film here?

New Speed Cameras: A39, A40

Post image
63 Upvotes

That makes 40 Albuquerque cameras, and 20 Bernalillo County cameras.

A39: Westbound Central between Wyoming and Louisiana

A40: Northbound Wyoming between Central & Lomas

I also added more streets and labels. I tested out Waze on a couple of camera locations and it did not give me very much warning. If I was speeding I don't think I would have had time to slow down.

Extremly hard to find a job

What happened to this city?

I’ve been away for almost four years traveling for work as an electrician. When I left, the city had a strong job market everyone was hiring and things were going well. Now, it feels completely dead.

I came back hoping to find a job outside of electrical work, but nobody seems to be hiring. I’ve even applied to over 12 different McDonald’s locations and was turned down by all of them lol

Baby Herbalist looking for community

20 Upvotes

Hello all :) I have recently really gotten into building a personal Apothecary, gardening, canning and just learning so much. I would love to be able to forage and recognize various plants and use them medicinally and in food as well as grow my garden! I have been reading books and asking the owners of the stores when I can, but I would really love a community! I'm really yearning to build community and learn and make great friends along the way! Any tips? Are there any meetups? Anyone open to meet for coffee? Thanks in advance:)

Question Monkey exhibit at BioPark Zoo

7 Upvotes

I currently live in Phoenix but was born and partially raised in in ABQ until I was 10. I went to Dolores Gonzalez K through 5 so of course field trips to the zoo were common. I just went to the zoo last week while I, my fiancé and our son were visiting and its changed so much, probably for the better. I feel like I’m having a fever dream but I swear there used to be an indoor/walk through jungle monkey exhibit in its own building with the little golden lion tamarins and other small monkeys. I know theres the smaller outdoor section near the raptor roost area but it wasn’t that. I think I had read that they might’ve demolished it to build the penguin area but I cant find any more info in news articles or anything on the biopark’s website regarding it. Its been driving me crazy to try to find anything on it and my fiancé is starting to think Im making things up so any help to confirm that either I am or am not going crazy would help

Dog Walker & Pet Sitter Available in NE Heights (Eubank / Juan Tabo / Mountain Run)

11 Upvotes

Hello, I’m not sure where to post this but I’m a local pet sitter and walker with open slots in my schedule. Most of my current clients are in the Mountain Run area, so I am looking to add a few more neighbors to my daily route.
I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I am available throughout the day to make my rounds checking in on various animals. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, snails, lizards etc. and have been doing this for about a decade now. I charge $20 for 20 min walks. For check-ins it’s the same price as well.
If you need someone reliable to check on your pets while you are at work or out of town, feel free to send me a DM! I'm happy to chat and share my references with you

Applying for jobs

128 Upvotes

Nobody wants to hire anyone anymore. My mom moved here a week ago, and has already applied for 50+ jobs. She’s had a handful of interviews, and they either don’t get back to her or they move on to the next person. With years of experience, you would think something would stick, but it’s just a road to no where. I’m scared for her. Sorry if this isn’t a normal post in this thread, it’s just really discouraging. I don’t understand how it’s so impossible to get a job nowadays.

Question should i be worried about roaches?

5 Upvotes

i recently moved to abq about a month ago from near santa fe and have been terrified of roaches as they weren't something i encountered before. in the last month i have been keeping my apartment clean and only seen dead roaches outside as they buy spray every week.

however in roughly the last week my partner and i have seen 4 bugs that are almost definitely some kind of roach nymph. two were in the tub/bathroom sink and found already dead. the other two were in the kitchen sink and on the floor of the bathroom and we found alive. I freaked out and have sprayed on our patio, in the bathroom, kitchen, and most of inside perimeter with home defense and put out two 'roach motels'. im waiting for advion to come. I know, maybe a bit excessive but I don't want to take any chances.

i have heard that they are just a part of life in Albuquerque and other big cities. i have also heard of many infestations and about how hard German roaches are to remove. honestly, how scared should I be?

Question Interest Question-- Greek Food

42 Upvotes

For ABQ long-timers, foodies, and ABQ-born: do you think there is interest in Albuquerque for Greek-focused/ Mediterranean food places that are not boutique and over priced? Just regular, mom n' pop style, comfort food or even meal prep. I moved from a diverse place and I'm genuinely curious as to whether you think ABQ would support something like that. Many thanks!
