Los Poblanos Fields Open Space (partially managed by the Rio Grande Community Farm) holds a special place in the history of Albuquerque. It occupies the original site of Los Poblanos, one of the earliest Spanish Colonial settlements in the Rio Grande Valley. It is, in fact, a living link in an agricultural heritage that extends over 1700 years, making it among the oldest parcels of continually farmed land in the United States. Years of hard work have transformed the neglected land into community gardens, wildlife habitat, and certified organic croplands. These provide educational experiences, community service projects, recreation and entertainment to a broad segment of our population while honoring our history and protecting the environment. This farm offers excellent year-round bird watching opportunities. Kestrels, hawks and songbirds frequent the farm, and hundreds of Sandhill Cranes and Canada Geese visit in the fall and winter.

Side Montero is an indie Alt-Rock band with a jazz influence coming out of Albuquerque. Neighborhood friends, Aaron Lee (singer/rhythm guitar), Jaren Robledo (lead guitar), Levi Maes (drums), and high school friend Ben Work (bass) grew up jamming together and, after a night that ended with a flipped Mitsubishi Montero, a band name was found and Side Montero began to record and perform under the moniker. With thousands of views across TikTok and YouTube and a loyal following through the Southwest, Side Montero is known for their catchy crooning, incredible musicianship, and unstoppable energy.
