"It looks like the person who snapped the pic--most likely Ryan McGinnis--is on the passenger side of the car. Which means he was probably giving a driving lesson when he made this observation."

Anyone been to One Up lately? I used to kind of like it.
We hadn't been in a while but tried it out Sat. First thing we notice are the guys in the SECURITY shirts that you usually only see at concerts. Already not digging the vibe. Then, we noticed all the…Continue

We hadn't been in a while but tried it out Sat. First thing we notice are the guys in the SECURITY shirts that you usually only see at concerts. Already not digging the vibe. Then, we noticed all the seating was "reserved." We just wanted a a snack and a couple of drinks. We asked if we could sit there, and were told that all those tables in a huge empty part of the restaurant were reserved for "VIPs." But he offered to ask someone if it was ok for us to sit there. We didn't wait for an answer,…See More

I don't know if anyone's posted about this new place yet, but I didn't see it in a search.This joint is really neat! It replaced the martial-arts studio in the tiny strip mall next to Taco Bell in Nob Hill. It's got a cool beach motif with rather extravagant details, right down to the awesome bathrooms (where it took me a while to figure out the faucet). I'll be spending some time, I'm sure, on the roof patio, especially since the restaurant is open till 11 on weekends and it has a beer/wine…See More

Is the announcements section of the forum for anything related to an Albuquerque-based business? And does that include websites? I'm running a journalism site, and the things I report on often take place outside of ABQ, but I'm attempting to build this ABQ-based business, so I would think it'd be appropriate to post things about it there, but these posts get removed. Does it have to be an ABQ-based business that only does business in ABQ?
Tom O'Connell posted a discussionAnything Newsworthy, Interesting, Weird, Wild, Whatever
My DIY video journalism project has been chugging right along, and I'm working on some interesting stuff right now, and learning more with every story. I've decided to expand my content to include service features, including product and travel reviews, which hopefully will lead to paid ads so I can pay for a real hosted website. Please support my efforts by visiting my site and clicking on some ad links, and send me tips for anything newsworthy, interesting, weird, wild, whatever.Thanks!Tom…See More
