albuquerque activities: This Week in Albuquerque, NM - 06/05/09 11:22 PM
Albuquerque has another name. The city has been fondly called the Duke City for years and now another name is becoming popular - The "Q." It has one advantage. It is easier to spell.
So what happened in the Q this week? Many of us in the real estate business are feeling hopeful about the market and are pleased that first-time home buyers in particular seem to be taking advantage of the large inventory and continuing low rates and other available incentives.

albuquerque activities: Albuquerque. NM State Fair - Day Two - 09/11/08 02:53 AM

albuquerque activities: Hitch a Ride on a Hot Air Balloon in Albuquerque, New Mexico - 10/04/07 08:44 PM
I wrote the post below last year to introduceAlbuquerque, New Mexico's annual international event and to celebrate my very first ride in a hot air balloon.
I was very pleasantly surprised with the calm and peacefulness of the ride. From start to finish, from take off to landing, it was like floating on a cloud.
