I am literally 780 feet away from that place according to Google Maps (head east past the drycleaners, take a left at the first street (you'll see the apartments on your left), take the first right (Anderson Ave) and I'm the second house in on the left hand side. Just let us know what works for you.....

At 12:01pm on May 13, 2009, Doug R said…: bb - thx for your comments about my Monument Vly post. Pam took those pics not me. She has a great eye for photos. How are you doing? I'm back in the swing. Had to take a trip out to Calif in late April. Pam's uncle is dying of cancer. It was a tough trip on the mind, body and soul. But I'm back. Catching up. Actively looking for work in and outside of ABQ.

Molly (our cat) must have really missed us while we were on that trip. She is doing things she didn't before like sitting in my lap while I type this message. She's a great kitty.

At 8:56pm on January 27, 2009, Richard V said…: BB, just a follow up on drug traffic on Iron. tony, with the mayor's office contacted me on the phone. he's checking out the area and putting a bug in the police chief's ear. i gave the landlady my 30 days notice before moving. she said it's gotten worse, because the druggies blend in with the homeless crowd. according to her, the guy in charge of the playground across the street has to police the area every morning, picking up syringes and various drug paraphenalia. i was given a referral to a sweet little casita off coal and bryn mawyr, and that's where i'll be relocating next month. the good, i'll be able to walk to the university. the bad news, is i never got to really know this funky area of town. since i posted my blog, a lot of really cool and interesting people have made themselves known. what i didn't mention in the blog is how someone popped out the window pane that would allow them to stick their hand inside, flip the latch, and pull the bedroom window open. if i had not discovered it in time i hate to think what could have happened. so i have to feel this is all for the best. hey, i'm hosting a poetry reading march 7 at 516 ARTS. i'll be joined by levi romero, michelle otero, jessica lopez... hope you can make it. and thanks for your concern. rv

Hadn't checked on you in a while; hope all is well and that you have a wonderful new year!

Cheers!
