Hello people of Taos.

My rad dog and I are coming to town Tuesday evening and staying for like 19 days.

We just started nomad life in May. We left Montana, went to Missouri for a music festival, spent a couple weeks in PA, and now we're melting in Texas, heading that way tomorrow.

I'd like to meet and connect with cool people while we're visiting.

My dog is a sweetheart and I'm a kind and gentle soul.

We like cycling (Chester can do 10-15 miles on dirt)

Swimming, hiking, and other outdoors adventures.

Human activities include music, yoga, breweries, food and exploring town among other things.

Would love recommendations for must see spots, good places to meet cool folk etc.

I'll be camping right across from the Mothership.

Look forward to meeting cool people!

Cheers

Hello, my friend Kailey really needs some healthcare. She dedicates her personal efforts to doing grassroots community outreach for local homeless indigenous youth. She funds herself doing that. She does not have a roof and her nervous system is very fried.

She needs antipsychotics and medication to help her get grounded. She needs a physical. She needs healthy community. She throws herself into the most difficult stuff to help the people there and she gets a lot of her energy from substances, and she is caught between a rock and a hard place.

How can I get her care for free?

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

I will be in taos 7/24-7/26 where is the best place to se the milky way?

Where's a good spot to watch the Mexico England World Cup game on Sunday at 12? I'm rooting for Mexico. Thanks!!

Hi! In Taos currently and looking for a great dinner restaurant that isn't mostly New Mexican. We've been here for a few days and I am wanting something else but Google isn't helping. Thanks!

Hi All, it's me again, the Taos newbie. I'm hearing some rattling in the undercarriage of my car (2022 Chrysler Pacifica) and want to get it checked out. Can anyone recommend a reliable and honest auto mechanic in town? Thanks!

Traveling to Taos the weekend of july 24th. Will it be blazin hot?

Hi all, new to Taos and my wife and I plan to go up to the ski valley tomorrow for community weekend. I believe only lifts 1 and 4 are open. Does anyone know if we take lift 1 up, can we hike over to 4 and the Bavarian? Or is it recommended that we drive up and park at the Bavarian? Thanks!

UPDATE: Had a great time up at the ski valley today. A bit windy up there, but we hiked up Rubezahl to the Bavarian, had lunch, then lift 4 up to enjoy the views and hike a bit more before the return trip back to the base of lift 1. Lift 1 was closed due to high winds, but given our plan, that was no problem. Thanks all for your advice and suggestions.

Hi neighbors, I’m looking for some guidance from anyone who has dealt with a predatory real estate agent situation.

I currently have a piece of land listed, and the experience has been a nightmare. The marketing and photos are terrible, and the agent completely refuses to update the listing or put any effort into it. It has become clear that they are intentionally neglecting the listing to force me into firing them.

Here is the trap: our listing agreement contains a sneaky termination clause stating that if I cancel the contract early, I owe them a massive "termination fee" equal to the full commission (over $10,500). They refuse to sign a mutual release unless I write them a check, effectively holding my property hostage so I can't sell it.

Has anyone else in the area dealt with a broker holding a listing hostage like this? Do you have recommendations for local real estate attorneys who specialize in contract disputes or breaking listing agreements? Any advice on how to force a broker's hand to get a mutual release without paying a scam fee would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much ! As a single woman, this has been VERY stressful.

Whats the deal with 98% of housing in Taos not allowing dogs, when almost everyone in Taos has a dog and most establishments are dog friendly?

Project Jupiter has hired an unknown amount of locals across the state to go door to door gathering signatures for a REASON.

Remember those Air Permits we commented on when they wanted to build 42 Natural Gas Turbines to power the data center? (it's ok if you don't). They got denied for that. So they pivoted to something faster to build - fuel cells, which are still methane-powered. The builder has a terrible record and the threats to our environment and health are still devastating. They are now POURING FUNDING into gathering signatures from locals on this new permit.

PLEASE take a moment to leave a comment with your concerns.

I’ll be in town next week - family vacation.

I have been learning guitar the last 2 years and while I’m there for a week, I’d like to continue playing. I prefer an acoustic and I don’t particularly care about the brand/model (just not a classical guitar - nylon strings).

Any ideas where I could get one in my hands for a reasonable price for a week? I would take care of it and it would only be used at our residence (AirBNB).
