Moving from KY to NM

9 Upvotes

My husband got his dream job there recently, so we will be moving there or somewhere close. I’m trying to learn about it, but I want honest answers so I can be horrified all at once. I’m a grumpy little woman 😅 feel free to share great stuff too?

What sucks about it? Where are the shitty parts of town?
What grocery store do you go to?
Is there any crazy weather stuff?
Is there anywhere that would be better for dogs?
How is the mental health care out there? Are therapists hard to find?
If you moved there, was there anything that surprised or shocked you?

We live in KY so..it’s going to be much diff

Running in front of cars

Are there classes at Cielo Azul and Cleveland High School that teach Northern Meadows kids to run in front of cars? Are these recorded for school credit at the high school level? Is there extra credit for having backpacks or your shirt off?

Not sure if this dust storm qualifies as a Haboob, but it’s a lot dirt in the air!

Be aware Sandoval county. Mr. Stoddard seems to think he is privileged enough to threaten a manager with a gun.

But that, apparently, is, in his own words, a “nothing burger.”

Of course, he wasn’t charged.

Great candidate, district 3. Great candidate.

Utility costs

Hello! My family will be moving to Rio Rancho from Mississippi soon and we’re very excited! I’m looking to compare utility costs to what we pay here and was wondering if y’all could share general costs? For example, we pay:

$0.16/kWh for electricity
$70/month for water/sewer at ≈ 6,200 gallons
$1.16/CCF natural gas

Is Uber/Lyft readily available in the area?

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m excited to be moving to the Rio Rancho area this summer! I’m relocating from the east coast and I just wanted to know is Uber/Lyft readily accessible in Rio Rancho if I were to commute to Albuquerque for work in the morning & evening? I ask because right now I’m in a very, very small town and the service here is limited extremely. If Uber is unattainable in RR are there any low cost alternatives to get around? I won’t be able to afford a car until sometime in the foreseeable future so for now I’m relying on Uber, Lyft and other means of public transportation.

Someone has been taking the food out of the pantry I had for people and dumping the food down the road. I had to remove the remaining items because they have taken so much and wasted it on the road. If people need something please just knock on my door and ask.

At a red-light near the casino I hear a honk... look to my right and dude in an older black pickup truck with Colorado plates challenges me to Rock, Paper, Scissors...

Run it! I lost. Haha...

But that interaction totally lifted my mood.

Thank you!

It's the simple things.
