Yup, these other ratings are still really old in the world of Yelp. Lol…read more And I just have to tell it how it is so you can understand what you're dealing with if you have to go to the one and only Hobbs Post Office. Don't show up during the regular business hours lunch break times... it gets crowded. It's always crowded during any holiday. Or days preceding a big holiday. The line moves ridiculously slow more times than not! They often lock the door on the north end of the building due to "blowing wind" which is where I prefer to enter... However, the doors at the main entrance are just as difficult to open and slams the glass ajar & shut when said high wind is in session. The lines in the parking lot need to repainted, but even then folks would still park like drunk schmucks. The employees, while mostly friendly, tend to be somewhat unprofessional here. If they had a self-service kiosk for stamps, I'd probably never choose to deal with the front desk folks. On another note, the mailman that comes to my brother's house which has an office for his business that I work for does not handle our packages with care. Our cameras show him dropping them and tossing our clients' very expensive goods carelessly. Yep... I'm gonna keep complaining in person and on here because they recently raised prices on the post office boxes. Plus I have high suspicions this same office lost my birth certificate about 15 years ago! (At least that's what the US passport agency told me.)

I can call 30+ times a day and it rings for two solid minutes and then disconnects. I wish I knew how else to reach them or if I should just give up trying to call all together.

The Hobbs Public Library is a gem…read more It saddens me that more people don't utilize the services here. My kids love going to their section downstairs. It's organized very nicely. There's a really nice patio to hold book club meetings, meet up with a friend, or, for example, have paperwork notarized. The staff is really nice. A staff member usually always asks me if I need assistance or at least greets me when I walk in. When they aren't available to help you or you just want to browse the computers, the online catalog is extremely user-friendly. The parking spaces are a bit too small for this truck / SUV town. So far there have been a few books that they don't have. I forget to request it in person. One is called "Lost in the Barrens" by Farley Mowat. At any rate, this is a great library if you have youngsters. They often hold events catered to babies all the way up to 3rd grade students. Also, there's a small playground area on the north end so you may let your kids depressurize after being quiet during your library visit. :) Please help keep the grounds clean by ensuring your trash goes all the way into a receptacle. You're the best, pass it on!

Is this not a library?? Couldn't study for my boards with all the noise and also the library staff…read morebeing loud. No consideration for people who actually want to study. So disappointed.

Tho the men and women here were super nice. Entering inside there wasn't a maned visitors desk. We had to use the intercom to announce us and our intentions. Then it went over dispatch, we heard it. Then someone came to the door to let us in. Great place inside. Building seems somewhat newish. Very clean. We were able to get the badge to add to our collection. Very happy!

Village MVD is a third party full-service Motor Vehicle Department with a... wait for it... drive…read morethru! In addition to this Hobbs location, there are Village MVDs in Artesia and Ruidoso Downs. This particular place took over an old bank - they still have the tube canisters... minus the lollipops they'd send my mom over when they'd ask how many children were in her vehicle. Lol. There are two reasons why I knocked off a star: - they charge $22 cost recovery/registration renewal fee - they do NOT offer driver's licenses or IDs, handicap placards, driving records, or DOT physicals. Their bread and butter are the following: + Registrations + Titles + VIN Inspections I came here on 10/31/2023 which was the day my vehicle registration expired (lol) and was met with friendly, speedy service. Good to know I can get my new tags on the day that my old one expires without the wait or possible bad attitudes of my old MVD office.

I'm a huge fan of United Way of Lea County…read more They are the largest non-profit organization in this area of the state of New Mexico. Many people don't realize how poor our state is, however, Lea County prospers in the oil, gas and energy industries. On the other side of the coin is the amount of folks who believe in service and community. Two of my favorite events that this charitable federation hosts are: 1) Chili Fest - held annually at the Event Center towards the end of September 2) Paint the County Pink which is a breast cancer awareness event. I'm pretty passionate about this since my aunt, (former) mother-in-law, and cousin's wife have survived and/or are fighting this terrible disease. United Way is highly active on social media. Keep up with all of their missions, events, and good deeds at: https://www.facebook.com/unitedwayleacounty or their website: uwolc.org Love the people who work here and their board members. Thank you for doing greatness!
