Nob Hill Shop and Stroll – Albuquerque

admin — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 04:29:29 +0000

Well, the holidays are approaching and here is yet another chance to get those gifts. The 14th Annual Nob Hill Shop and Stroll is scheduled for Thursday, December 14, 2008 from 5pm to 10pm. For one night, Central Avenue is closed down in the Nob Hill area, so that swarms of eager shoppers and diners can enjoy a night out on the town. This is a fun way to get out and support local businesses. There are many shops along Route 66 in this area, as well as great restaurants. Even if you are not planning on shopping, it is an exciting event and a good way to get into the holiday spirit.

One tip that I would give you is to catch a ride or walk if possible. Parking is an issue. Usually cars are parked all around in surrounding neighborhoods. If anyone knows of good places to park, please feel free to comment.

Update: Park and Ride is available from the Central United Methodist Church on Central and University. There are also many businesses east of Carlisle all the way to Washington.
