Albuquerque weighs in on Pavia controversy

When a college athlete crosses the line, it’s not just about the game—it’s about the message sent to every student and fan. Diego Pavia’s infamous video at UNM’s practice field still stings for many in Albuquerque, especially since the apology never reached the people most affected. For locals, this isn’t just a sports rivalry; it’s about integrity and respect in our community. Should schools hold athletes to a higher standard, or is the pressure to win just too strong? How do you think this shapes the reputation of our teams and city? #Sports #Football #Albuquerque

Fresh faces are fueling a Lobo hoops revival

Albuquerque is buzzing as New Mexico’s basketball team kicks off the Eric Olen era with a surprising youth movement. Nearly half of the Lobos’ scoring is coming from true freshmen—Jake Hall, Uriah Tenette, and Tomislav Buljan—who’ve stepped up in a big way. Hall is already making history with four 20+ point games, while Buljan’s double-doubles and Tenette’s highlight-reel dunks have fans excited for the future. It’s rare to see a clean-slate rebuild click this quickly, especially after a coaching change. What do you think—can this young core bring another Mountain West title to The Pit? #Sports #GoLobos #Albuquerque

Albuquerque loses two local favorites

Range Cafe and Bosque Brewing, both beloved Albuquerque staples, are closing some locations by the end of December. For folks who counted on Range Cafe for breakfast or Bosque Brewing for a local pint, this is a real shake-up. The Range Cafe is closing its Central spot after 20 years due to the building being sold, while Bosque Brewing is shutting down two locations as part of a business restructure. With rising costs and tough times for restaurants statewide, it’s no wonder people are worried about what’s next for our local food scene. What do you hope fills these empty spaces? #Food #Albuquerque #LocalBusiness

Range Cafe’s downtown ABQ spot closing soon

Range Cafe’s Central Avenue location is shutting its doors after nearly two decades, marking the end of an era for east downtown Albuquerque regulars. The closure isn’t about business struggles—the company says it’s all about the building’s sale. All other Range Cafe locations are staying open, and staff from Central will be offered spots elsewhere. If you’ve got memories from this spot, now’s the time to stop by before the last day on Dec. 27. How do you feel about another longtime local favorite leaving downtown? What’s your favorite Range Cafe memory? #Food #Albuquerque #RangeCafe
