Permit me to write about permits

1 month ago | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: With the warmer Spring weather, I’ve been thinking about doing some remodeling work around the house, what approvals do I need? Also, what is that large building going up north of Piñon Hills Boulevard by Butler Avenue? Signed, Bob the Builder Dear Bob: Thank you for the question. Mr. Know-It-All has been known to pick up a hammer or paint brush from time to time, but I usually leave large projects to the professionals.
Mr. Know-It-All: There’s nothing to do!

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: Years ago, Farmington had a lot of options for our younger folks to enjoy. We had many bowling alleys, skating rinks, and a few miniature golf courses. A few years ago, the City had discussed building a miniature golf course at the horseshoe area at the Civitan Golf Course. It sounded like it was going to be a very nice facility with features of the local area, with artificial rock formations as you see at Disneyland and such. Whatever happened to this idea?

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: I’ve heard that air service is returning to Farmington, but what I want to know is why did it take so long? Signed, Da Plane! Da Plane! Dear Da: Thank you for referencing the “Fantasy Island (1977-1984) television show! You’re right, commercial air service is scheduled to return to Farmington’s Four Corners Regional Airport on May 8. That’s eight years after the last passenger flew in or out of the Four Corners Regional Airport on a commercial flight.

What does Waste Management do with all our trash?

Jan 10, 2025 | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: Questions many friends and I have regard recycling in Farmington. We all know about the yellow-topped bins we leave at the curb for pickup by WM (Waste Management). But do we really know where it goes? Has anyone actually followed the recycled waste stream once it arrives at WM facilities? And how efficient is the recycling process? In short, is it truly recycling and viable? Signed, Trashy Topic Dear Trashy: Thanks for the question.
Why there’s no commercial airline in San Juan County

Nov 29, 2024 | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin |Jerry McBride |Debra Mayeux

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: How did mountainous, wintry La Plata County get the region's commercial airport instead of wide-open, drier Crouch Mesa? Is it true that the powers that be in San Juan County blinked or balked and Southwest Colorado jumped? – Frequent flyer Dear frequent flyer, Mr. Know-It-All is old enough, perhaps you are also, to remember being able to drive to the Four Corners Regional Airport in Farmington, use the free long-term parking lot and hop on a flight.

What’s the deal with the old Red Lion Inn on Scott Avenue?

Nov 15, 2024 | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: What's the latest status on the old Red Lion Inn on Scott Avenue? Oh, what an eyesore and an embarrassment it has become for the community the last few years. At one time there were a few plans to do some things with this facility, but guess it has all fallen through the cracks.
What’s with the sculptures on the river trail system in Berg Park?

Oct 31, 2024 | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: I have a question about several sculptures at Berg Park one is of an eagle and fish carved into a tree top with no branches and another set of wooden sculptures on the ground just east of that on a trail. It was pretty neat to see while walking around the trails in that area. What’s their story?
The invasion of the orange cones and barrels

Oct 17, 2024 | tricityrecordnm.com | Scott Michlin |Jerry McBride

Dear Mr. Know-It-All: All summer we have been plagued with the onslaught of abominable orange barrels! This summer's crop seems especially prolific and are making me late! I can't even blame it on running on San Juan County time! It seems that I can't get anywhere without a road work delay of some kind. If it's not Farmington, it's the county or New Mexico Department of Transportation. Are they all conspiring to have every single road under construction at the same time?
