Question.

I’m from the Boston area. That said I’m planning a trip to Las Cruces (heard there’s awesome hiking)

Anyone offer tips for the best hiking? Best microbreweries? Places for live music?

Tips on places/areas to avoid?

Donuts N Boba shop

I’m so glad it’s finally open. I’ve gone every day before work if I have the time. I was a huge fan of the Deming location but I rarely go that direction.

Anyone know what nationality they are? I want to learn a few words in that language like “thank you”

I was thinking Thai, but not certain.

intimidation in public schools

Hi! I'm an independent journalist. I grew up in ABQ but have lived out of state for some time, and now I'm returning to NM to work on a story for a national news outlet.

Education is the topic, specifically the culture wars and the right-wing groups attempting to flip the school boards, like Moms for Liberty. So far, it looks like they've been largely unsuccessful, at least in Albuquerque. But I've come across this youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7vEhjwKHz4), essentially a couple of "Christian" crusaders who arrange fake informational meetings with principals and school counseling staff around the state, film them without their knowledge then dox them on their channel. Seems pretty small, but this couple has brought about the suspension of at least one superintendent: https://www.yahoo.com/news/aps-superintendent-ken-moore-placed-173545626.html

I'm curious if anyone is aware of any such doxxing or intimidation against teachers or administrators happening in Las Cruces. Any teachers in Las Cruces who have to deal with parents like this? Do these kinds of people present any significant threat to education, or are they pretty isolated? Anyone who can share any information, or has experience with the topic would be much appreciated. Feel free to private message me if you want more information or are interested in arranging a phone call. Thanks!

Does anyone know where to get ferrets?

I've recently been looking into adopting ferrets and while researching I've noticed that there's really not anywhere that adopts them out other than Petco. I personally don't like Petco or their animal care and practices, therefore I would like to avoid adopting from there. So does anyone know anywhere other than Petco to get ferrets?

Good barbershops in town?

Hello, I am looking for recommendations on a good barbershop, I’m looking for a place where they actually know how to use a pair of scissors and offer more options than a fade with a line running across the side of your head, somewhere like a gentlemen’s barbershop with more classy hairstyles. I’ve gone to a few but have not been able to find a place with good ambiance and meaningful conversations with your stylist. Thank you in advance.

Does anybody here collect Littlest Pet Shop (G2)? Or have any they just want to get rid of?

Not really looking to buy tbh just hoping to get lucky or just a discussion as I was just wondering if anybody else remembers those figures? Would love to take them (hope this isn't a weird question but I never ever met people who have them here which is really difficult 😭)

Book clubs?

Howdy! Curious if y’all know or a part of any book clubs I could join? I know the library holds some at times but usually my work schedule interferes. Kind of hoping if I set goals for myself I’ll read more, also hoping to make a friend or two as well!

Handy-human needed

Hey friends! I bought a gorgeous light up mirror for my salon suite but it’s somewhat heavy and I’d feel a lot better having a professional hang it for me. I’ve asked around and haven’t found anyone yet, so recommendations for trustworthy people are needed. Thanks!

I love this city, but drivers are terrible

  1. get as close to the speed limit as you can before merging onto a highway

  2. learn right of way laws for 4 way stops and follow the law

  3. the left lane is for passing. The right lane is for travel

  4. use your blinker

What is wrong with drivers in this otherwise amazing city?

Anyone here use YouTube TV?

I'm looking to get rid of DirecTV as it's gotten to expensive for what we need, but some in my family are concerned about a) being able to get local stations and b) video quality.

Struggle of Dating as a lesbian here

Why is it so hard to date other lesbians/bisexuals here? The hook up culture is so normalized here that it seems impossible to find other gay women who are wanting to date and are open for something serious. Another normalized common thing are unicorns 🦄 or open relationships. No disrespect to any of these, it’s just sucks never finding any woman who wants something else beyond these. Any advice for the dating scene here as a lesbian woman?

Good Mechanic (for Honda)

Hello, does anyone know of a good mechanic that could replace my head gasket on a 2019 Honda Accord? I would like to take it to the dealership but I know the prices will be astronomical. I would like to have someone that knows what they’re doing and not worry about it ever again.

Home Theater/Audio installation?

Does anyone know of someone who can run cables for a home audio setup?

I need someone to run a cable from one room to another. There’s already cables ran through the ceiling, but I need another one to be put in.

I would contact the original person who did the install, but it’s been difficult to get any information from my builder.

Lowe's style carne adovada

I'm in the hankering for carne adovada, the way Lowe's (grocery) makes it. I know it's more than just chile powder coated pork, does anyone have any experience trying to replicate this particular style of meat?

310 Fitness New Member Pricing?

Can anyone with a new/recent membership comment on their pricing tiers?

I can’t find it listed online. I’m not interested in calling them and receiving promo info constantly. I’ve already made that mistake with one gym in town lol.
