What's Up ABQ

We're all big stars here in town!

There's been an explosion of films and show being made right here in the 505 for a couple of years now which is super cool. Everything from Netflix moving in, to NBC Universal, and Sony! Super cool. It's a fun moment when we can watch our favorite shows and recognize our own backyard.

So, what's it like on the inside of the NM film industry anyway?

Seriously, it's what's up, ABQ!

To learn more about what Gio and her fellow film aficionado, Brian, are up to, check out their local podcast, Brian and Gio Made a Podcast, HERE (http://brianandgiopodcast.com/).

In the meantime, remember to like, subscribe, rate, and spread the word about What's Up ABQ and our local featured businesses!

Among all the myriad wonderful people and places in the 505 the sweetest has to be off Lomas.

That's right we said it.

We're talking about the building with the candy canes: Buffet's Candies!

In this episode, we talk with Tyler Buffett about all things NM - from their rags to riches multi-generational family business success to their signature Burque sweets. Tyler shares what it takes to make a difference in the every-day, coated with just the right amount of wonder (and pinion).

To learn more about Buffett's head on over to their website HERE (https://www.buffettscandies.com/), or head on down to their location at 7001 Lomas Blvd NE.

If it's one thing we've got here in New Mexico it's sunshine.

I mean, we're basically the pacific northwest's super cool, tan rival. (And we all know which one has the edge - like green chile)

So, it only makes sense that with all this sunshine we harness it. Whether it's for our homes or businesses more and more New Mexicans are drastically lowering their PNM bills by installing solar.

What is going solar all about for the average Burqueno? In this episode, we go into all things bright, shiny, and energy efficient with Glenn Felty of SunState Solar. Put your shades on and turn your lights on - it's what's up, ABQ.

Until next week - take care and keep it local!

Right now is a super weird time.

Maybe you have fewer places to go, you're working from home, and who knows? - Maybe you even have some extra corona cash floating around these days...

For one brand-new New Mexican entrepreneur, she took her saved up funds and started something brand new: a sticker company she and her sister run right out of their garage! What's it like for a start-up business right now? How does someone go from dreams of 'someday' to 'We're doing this'? Where does inspiration for locals come from and how do you actually do something about it?

Savannah & Haillee Scarborough with Daisy Sticker Company are all over it with fresh ideas, New Mexico-inspired designs, and (of course) stickers.

They're what's up, ABQ!

To learn more about Daisy Sticker Co and order custom stickers for your business (or just for yourself!), you can check them out on their Instagram HERE (https://www.instagram.com/daisy.sticker.co/).

Ok, so we all know Albuquerque sells itself. 

It's this amazing incredible place we call home - full of wonderful people, cool places to hang out, and beautiful art literally right around the corner.

But it's also more than just a city. It's a massive interwoven collective of neighborhoods too.

In this episode, we dive into how our local neighborhood organizations actually work, how to get involved, and why helping out on your street helps everyone. Won't you be our neighbor?

To learn more about Vanessa and the Albuquerque Office of Neighborhood Coordination, head on over to their website HERE (https://www.cabq.gov/office-of-neighborhood-coordination ).

During our continued strange times of The Event What's Up ABQ is dedicated more than ever to helping tell local stories and spreading the word on people and places you ought to know about! So when you hear about a place we feature, go check them out! Tell your friends about it.

Be safe and Thank You!

What if there was a way you could learn about all the wonderful, awesome, amazing people who live right here in the 505?

What if there were sit-down chats with Albuquerque's own bleeding-edge everyday pros where they talk about what living, working, and thriving here in our city is really like?

What if... dare we dream... that it was all in podcast form too?

In this week's episode, we interview.... well. It's not important. You'll find out shortly :)

A huge, HUGE THANK YOU to you. Yes, you. To our listeners! To our wonderful AMAZING guests (past and future). To all the folks of Burque - Thank You.
