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

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.

ACAB. Thirty years of felonious criminal activity, no grand jury convened. Its the prosecution too.

The New Mexico Medical Society (NMMS) has announced that Richard J Berry has been selected to serve as the organization’s Executive Director and CEO following a search led by members of the Society’s Search and Executive Committees.

This was taken last night or evening. My son was like WOAH!! The end of August Sunset.

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!

She has dementia. And she's DRIVING.

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.

They got some really big artists... George Strait, Brooks & Dunn. I'm impressed.

Hi everyone! We had a company come out yesterday (Universal Water Systems) and we are interested in getting a whole home filter to help with hard water. They quoted us $6500 for the basic option or about $160/mo. Does anyone have any recommendations for companies to check out? TYIA!

It looked like only the top corner of the roof was burned, and the front part of the building looked fine.

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

I’m looking to get into the rave scene here but i have no idea where to start, any suggestions?

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?

anyone know of a good option? Id kind of prefer it to be a class within a gym if possible. Dont rly feel like I need to train as a beginner with these professional ppl and feel like it would be a bit cheaper. Anyways, open to any suggestions still.

Hello!

Are there any bakeries that make focaccia and are open during the week?

I have had some great homemade focaccia from microbakeries at pop-up markets, but I am hoping to buy something today or tomorrow.

Thanks!

Sports and Wellness has made it impossible to see their class schedules since they were bought out. Would anyone who has access be willing to share the weekly schedule for the Midtown and Downtown locations?

Also curious if anyone has noticed significant changes since the change of ownership?

Anyone know of a place in ABQ that works on printers? Have a really nice one that should be fixable.

Hello! I am searching for a recommendation of a wedding day of coordinator. I have reached out online to about five and have heard back from only one. Does anyone have any suggestions? The wedding will be in Albuquerque.
