What in the actual fuck is this about? 3 dead from a mystery compound that they think spreads through touch and not air? Bizarreness.

Hi guys,

I'm coming down to NM to visit family for a little bit. I'm from NYC, so we basically have no Native American food, but I've always heard that NM is one of the best states for Native cuisine. Do you guys have any recommendations on where to go?

As for rent, low-income renters face a particularly tight market, because when they get priced out of one development, there may not be a comparably priced apartment or rental home nearby. Data in Monday’s report showed a roughly 5% vacancy rate for rentals priced at $800 per month, compared to a nearly 26% vacancy rate for rentals at $2,000 or more.

Thoughts on working for this department as a new comer.

Hi, I’ll be visiting NM from 5/21/26-5/24/26. My friends and I were really hoping to visit Tent Rocks but unfortunately there are no more reservations available. If anyone is canceling please let me know!!

Hi everyone! I grew up in Los Alamos and I haven’t been back to NM in over 20 years. My husband and I have decided to take a trip in the fall and go to the state fair which I’m hoping is as fun as I remember. I have fond memories of several restaurants and I was wondering if they’re still any good. I loved Gabriel’s and Garduños for special occasions. I still dream about Blake’s and Chili Works. I remember the Frontier being pretty good too. Do restaurants still give you free sopapillas with your meal? I plan on eating as many as I possibly can. Am I clinging to my idyllic childhood memories of NM in the 90s? If I am, what would you recommend instead? Thanks in advance!

I’m planning a family road trip from Houston, Texas, with two kids (ages 4 and 10). Since it’s a long drive, my goal is to complete the first leg from Houston to Carlsbad in one stretch, which is about 11–12 hours.

After that, I prefer driving in the evenings (roughly 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM) because the kids usually sleep in the car. I’ll be driving a Tesla with Full Self-Driving (FSD), which should make the long drives a bit easier.

I’ve outlined the itinerary below and would appreciate any feedback on whether it seems too aggressive or if I’m overlooking anything. Are days enough for each City? On return its 16 hr drive so how can I add a day and break the journey?

Proposed Itinerary

Day 1

• Depart Houston at 1:00 PM
• Arrive in Carlsbad around 11:00 PM
• Total drive time: approximately 12 hours

Day 2

• Explore Carlsbad Caverns National Park
• Visit Bat Flight Program in the evening
• Depart around 7:00 PM for White Sands National Park
• Drive time: about 4 hours

Day 3

• Spend the day at White Sands National Park
• Do a sunset hike
• Depart for Santa Fe in the evening
• Drive time: about 4 hours

Day 4

• Explore Santa Fe
• Relax and enjoy the city

Day 5

• Hike at Bandelier National Monument
• Depart for Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness
• Drive time: about 4 hours

Day 6

• Explore and hike in Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness

Day 7

• Depart Bisti and begin the return drive to Houston. Trying to find a desitnation I can stop and explore in day time? Any suggestions?
• Stop overnight somewhere along the way (looking for suggestions)

Day 8

• Complete the drive back to Houston

Any New Mexicans recommend where to get good red chili powder or a good brand that ships to California? I really miss the real stuff.

thx all

27 M here, fluent in Spanish and English. Just curious of others input. When I speak in English having traveled to east Texas and Florida for extensive time, I have been told I have a southern accent. I was born and raised in rural southwestern NM. Just curious if anyone else has heard this?
