An excellent location to while away some time strolling, relaxing under portico shade and benches. But this old and cared-for historic patio area offers a vast array of shops and galleries to keep you busy and entertained for a couple of hours. When we visited we experienced: Allen Aragon Gallery; Amy Jane's Cool Stuff: Blackbird Coffee House; Butch Phillips; Dancing Crow Gallery; Desert Bird Mercantile; the Ghostwolf Gallery; Guerrilla Graphix; Nikki Zabicki's; and the Yucca Art Gallery. Each shop and gallery was unique to itself and worth the perusal. This is most definitely a must do for both locals and we tourists alike. Highly recommended.

This market is located about 75 ft from the street behind other businesses and down a small walkway. It's small, 5 eclectic stores and a coffee shop.

It also includes panhandlers that crowd around people going to the Gas station, UPS Store, The Taquieria, Jen's Storage and the other businesses. This is a major detractor. Dollar Tree is long gone, having dealt with the homeless/drug addicts in the past. The city has been notified many times, and still the area continues to be a major spot for drugs and homelessness. The businesses and the people in the area deserve better. The owner of the center, Allen Sigmon Real Estate Group, needs to complain each and every time to the city until a permanent solution is found.

We stumbled upon Gertrude Zachary Jewelry on a recent trip to Albuquerque. We were looking to pass…read moretime ahead of a dinner reservation. Perusing jewelry sounded like fun. I did a bit of research in the parking lot and found high reviews online. Thanks, Yelpers! I was impressed with the collection of turquoise inside. There are cases upon cases of rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings and more. Bella, the sales associate, and I immediately connected. Soon enough I had fallen in love with an assortment of bracelets and earrings. I was impressed with her knowledge of the stones, the turquoise mines, as well as the indigenous artists who crafted the designs I selected. It felt like an educational shopping experience, which helped me make a more informed buying decision. I've never purchased turquoise, so I have no idea how GZ's prices compare to others. I was told the prices were wholesale since there was no middleman. I love the pieces I selected. I will be mailed a certificate of authenticity. Thank you, Bella at Gertrude Zachary!

I've been a long time customer with GZ, I'd say just over 15 years. Although I may not be the…read moretraditional target customer (I'm a white woman), I absolutely love the assortment of stones, carving, and inlay work they have to offer. I believe the saying goes, "the bigger the better." Most of what I own has come from this store. Customer service has always been good for us. During our 15 years, we moved out of NM to Alabama for about 8 years, but that didn't stop our commerce with GZ. One of our favorite agents, Becky (who is unfortunately no longer there), took very good care of us by sending pictures of pieces she thought would be to our liking. We could either purchase or place the item on layaway. There have been several times we've used the layaway option. Today, Vince does a nice job handling our jewelry affairs. Annually, GZ hosts an event from a gal who travels around the southwest picking old Native American Jewelry and she sets up with GZ to sell these pieces. Super cool event and fun to attend. Oh! Don't forget the old Nob Hill location was used in Breaking Bad! Not sure it has survived through these Covid times. Their COVID practices are right. Plexiglass partition, masks, sanitizer, and sanitizing between customers.

But down deep it struck me as both ingenious and cruel that these DVD/video game vending machines single-handedly eviscerated Blockbuster and their larcenous late fees in less than five years. Now, streaming and on-demand video services appear poised to return the favor, sending these ubiquitous mechanisms off to the Smithsonian as a cultural artifact to join my Quadraphonic Stereo and Betamax video recorder in obsolescence. Maybe this weekend, I'll rent the entire American Pie franchise for $2.25 (plus tax) just for posterity and a few laughs. On second thought, I'd have to leave my couch. See you at the Smithsonian.
