Finally! A bank I feel good about!

Sat, 19 May 2001 23:25:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Sandia Area FCU is a small, local credit union. Like most of you, I prefer a credit union for the improved rate of return and the community atmosphere that often makes me feel like a bigwig when I do business. One of the problems with credit unions is...

General Reviews of T-Mobile Customer Service: How about some consitancy!

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 20:30:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - I currently have three phones with VoiceStream in Albuquerque, NM. One phone is actually in my daughter's name, though I pay the bill for it. This is the source of most of my problems with customer service.

The first time I called customer...

Ahhh.. Sandia Peak

Wed, 3 Jan 2001 19:35:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - The Sandia Peak and the mountain it sits upon is one of my favorite quick getaways.

From where I live in the city of Albuquerque, NM I can be at the peak of the mountain in 30 minutes or so. The Sandia Mountains sit on the edge of...

Bear Mountain State Park

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 22:50:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Bear Mountain is an easy drive from the city located about 45 miles north of New York City. Local lore states that Gov. Harriman's widow gave the mountain to the state of New York so they could make it a public park for everyone to enjoy. Of course, the...

You have to see the Adirondack Museum!

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 22:16:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Located deep within the Blue Line of the Adirondack State Park is the town of Blue Mountain Lake. No trip to the area is complete without visiting this sleepy little town. The Adirondack Museum makes it's home there.

This is a huge museum...

A great escape in the city

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 18:18:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - The Rio Grande Zoo is a fabulous place to spend the day when you want to play hookey from work. It's a little hard to find, hidden off the beaten path near downtown Albuquerque, but it's worth the effort to locate.

This is a medium sized zoo...

A little piece of the sea in the middle of desert

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 23:49:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Okay, so it's not Sea World, but this is a desert after all! The Albuquerque Aquarium is the newest addition to what's known as the Albuquerque Biological Park. You basically follow a drop of water from the Rio Grande all the way out to the Gulf of...

Great for the little ones

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 17:18:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Cliff's is about the only amusement park in New Mexico. It rates as the only true park in Albuquerque. I've only been to Cliff's once, for a company picnic. We had the park to ourselves that day and we had a pretty good time. Since it didn't cost...

Simply the biggest and the best!

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 19:01:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Hands down the best zoo. I have been visiting the Bronx Zoo since I was a baby. This is the largest metropolitan zoo anywhere and it's great! Plan on spending the entire day, and you still may not see everything. I usually enter off the Bronx Parkway and...

One of my family's favorites!

Mon, 10 Jul 2000 18:22:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Okay, I'll admit I haven't been here in a while, but when my kids were younger this was their favorite place in the world! Located north of Utica in the Adirondack Mountains, this area is a favorite vacation spot for many people. There's camping and...

Great Family Restaurant

Thu, 4 May 2000 18:08:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Let's start by saying that I have three teenagers. My two boys normally order two meals each at a restaurant. I don't see that when we go to Marie Callender's. The portions are gigantic, the food is very satisfying and the pies are out of this world!...

Best Bagel Chain Around

Thu, 4 May 2000 17:41:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - Okay, I'm a sort of bagel snob. I grew up in New York where, as we all should know, the best bagels are made. (I'm sure it's that great NY water that makes the difference.) My mother owned a bagel shop so I've certainly had my fill of every kind of bagel...

Nice little camera for the price

Mon, 18 Oct 1999 20:13:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - I really like my little Fuji Endeavor 210ixZOOM camera. With APS film, loading is the easiest thing you've ever done. Just drop it in and go. Since it's APS you also get a choice of 3 print sizes, normal, close and panoramic. I've taken pictures on all...

Dell Dimension XPS T600 w/DVD: A terrific deal!

Mon, 18 Oct 1999 20:00:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - I purchases a Dell Dimension T600 w/DVD online. The ordering and customization was a breeze. I opted to upgrade the video card, speakers, and add in a CD-RW drive. The machine arrived in 3 business days, actually shipping the day after I ordered it. I...

AOL didn't get to be the biggest online service for nothing

Sun, 17 Oct 1999 18:29:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - I've read a lot of good and bad about the AOL service. First off, I'd like to dismiss some misconceptions. AOL does NOT read your email. With almost 20 million members that wouldn't be practical, or legal. The way they find out about email solicitations...

I love my Trooper!

Sat, 16 Oct 1999 18:26:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BethPears - I bought my 1990 Trooper a year ago because the price was good, and the visibility was great! My husband is 6'3" so headroom is a big concern for us. This truck is large enough to carry my entire family, 3 kids and 2 dogs and still have room for...
