Diego Pavia makes Heisman history for Albuquerque

Albuquerque is buzzing—Diego Pavia, who started out at Volcano Vista High, just became a Heisman Trophy finalist and led Vanderbilt to a record-breaking season.

This is a huge moment for New Mexico sports and Latino representation in college football. Pavia’s journey from local fields to national spotlight is inspiring, and it’s sparking pride across the city. What does this milestone mean for our community and the future of the sport? #Sports #Albuquerque #Heisman

Albuquerque steps up for neighbors in need

Albuquerque’s secret to holiday magic

Pulling off holiday magic can feel overwhelming, especially when budgets are tight. But in Albuquerque, there’s a whole network of schools and local organizations making sure every child gets to feel special this season. From APS schools collecting donations to programs like Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel and Catholic Charities’ Giving Tree, families can find real support—no one has to go it alone. If you’re struggling, reaching out to your child’s school counselor is a great first step. And if you’re able to give back, these groups make it easy to spread some cheer. How does your family keep the season meaningful? #Safety #Albuquerque #HolidayHelp

Albuquerque pride: More than GTA stereotypes

Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia isn’t letting his family’s wild reputation overshadow his game—he says growing up in Albuquerque, this kind of chaos just feels normal. While some folks online are quick to judge, many are rallying behind Diego, pointing out that his focus and talent on the field deserve the spotlight, not his family’s missteps. Locals are also pushing back against the “real-life GTA” label, sharing their pride in Albuquerque and calling out outsiders for misunderstanding their city. Where do you stand—should a player’s family drama affect how we see their achievements? #Sports #Football #Albuquerque

Albuquerque drivers: Cars that thrive or struggle in our heat and altitude

Turbocharged engines are a game-changer for Albuquerque drivers dealing with high elevation and scorching summers. If you’ve ever felt your car lagging on I-40 or crawling up Tramway, it’s not just your imagination—thin air and extreme heat zap power from many vehicles, especially those with smaller, naturally aspirated engines. Models like the Subaru WRX, with its turbo, handle these conditions much better, keeping performance strong even when the air gets thin and temps soar. On the flip side, older or less advanced cars can overheat or lose serious pep. What’s your experience—has your car struggled or surprised you in Albuquerque’s unique climate? #Transportation #Albuquerque #CarTalk

Dental care gets a big boost in Albuquerque

Affordable dental care just got a major upgrade in Albuquerque! Touro College of Dental Medicine is now treating about 100 patients a day, offering appointments five days a week—often with same-week openings. What’s even better? The cost is about a third of what you’d pay at a private practice. Plus, more local students are training here, and most are likely to stay and serve New Mexico communities after graduation. This means more dentists, shorter wait times, and real relief for families who’ve struggled to find care. How do you think this will change healthcare in our area? #Education #College #Albuquerque
