Rant. Whataburger… 45 minutes in the drive thru and only four cars in front of me. Ósea, yes it’s late, yes the place is “new” … but come on. At least I had time for creativity. 🥴
Edit: actual time spent one hour and some minutes (still in line). 💀
Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.
Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.
Please read, share, and support if you agree
This is beneficial for folks that like hitting the trails in the morning
Stay away from Enchanted Circle Camp ground up in Angel Fire if you’re going to go leaf peeping or just looking for a place to stay. The owner Landon Dooley is doolally and believes democrats are demons.
Once again, Santa Fe Animal Shelter kennels are full, and dog walkers are in very short supply! To get these sweet faces (plus 100+ others) out for two walks a day, SFAS desperately needs more community volunteers to help out. Whether you can come several times a week or once a month, I promise it makes a difference! Adopters, fosters, and volunteers for kitties or other shelter jobs (laundry, anyone?) are always needed and appreciated. Volunteering of any kind is a great way to participate in your Santa Fe community - every local non-profit you can think of would be grateful for the support!
To sign up for training, please visit the SFAS website or email bleighnor@sfhumanesociety.org. All of these dogs are featured on that website, and I can answer basic questions or offer site links for any if you're interested.
AND, after nearly 17 months in shelter or foster care, Augie has been adopted! His third amazing foster drove Augie to his new country home in Georgia (see final pics for roadtrip and GA estate), where he is already adored and spoiled by his incredible dads. An absolutely phenomenal outcome for a dog dumped on a mesa, and it wouldn't have been possible without lots of love and effort from the many humans on Team Augie.
Hey y'all,
For the last few months I've been chipping away at something for New Mexico: a single place to see how full the reservoirs actually are, not a screenshot of someone else's dashboard from last week.
I finally got it live and wanted to share. It's called reservoirfinder, and the point is simple. Figuring out if Elephant Butte is a puddle, if Navajo is usable, or if Ute is in good shape usually means bouncing between USGS, Reclamation, and a state park page.
Here's what it covers:
I started building this because I kept getting burned trying to figure out on the fly whether a lake was actually fishable or if the ramps were sitting in dirt. So I built the thing I wanted to exist.
It's just me working on this on the side, no team.
Would love for you to poke around and tell me what's missing or wrong. Conchas, Cochiti, Abiquiu, Heron, El Vado, and Caballo are not on this list yet. If those are the ones you check, I want them next.
Let me know if you have anything you would like to be added!
Would you be so kind as to recommend some places to go for fall colors?
Drives?
Hikes?
Parks?
Some friends and I would love to go up to the ski area and ride the lift to see fall colors. Would this be possible for someone with mobility issues? How much walking is involved, are there stairs or steep inclines to navigate? How about getting on and off the lift, can you do that if you’re moving kinda slow and need low/no impact?
Hello! I'm from Texas, and I'm looking for things to do. Can anyone recommend some cool and agreeable things to do / places to hangout and meet friends? i like alt rock and nerdy stuff. thanks for any tips!
I live nearby, and for the last few weeks their customers have been parking way over across 4 lanes of traffic on the other side of the roads. It's all day of cars lined up against the embankment, and watching them walk and navigate the traffic on foot on a busy road. This is new.
They have a 4.6 so sounds like they're popular, but this feels like they lost parking somewhere.
I just recently moved to the southside, specifically in the cul-de-sacs off Yucca. I’ve always enjoyed handing out candy so Im curious about what to expect this year
So we recently moved into a house on Greg Avenue in upper Casa Solana. We have heard it's a pretty popular neighborhood for trick or treating. Anyone know how much candy we should buy?
Helping sort my father’s estate and he had some beautiful work! Advice ?
Hi! I’m planning to propose this upcoming week in Santa Fe, but would like to take pictures probably sometime after to capture the moment/scene. Thoughts on location and does anyone have recommendations on photographers? Dates are 10/9 or 10/10!
