Today is my Birthday, and while I am not looking for all of you to wish me a Happy Birthday I would of course be thrilled. After all who really doesn't like to have this special day acknowledged. My family has always been a big fan of celebrating birthdays. They should always come with some sort of celebration. Afterall, we have been able to add another year of experiences and memories. We are fortunate enough to still be with the people we love. Birthdays are meant to be celebrated. By the way I am also very proud of everyone of the 51 years of experience, friends and memories I have had - so far.

Enjoying Friends

A few days ago I posted a blog about the unusual fact that my most visited virtual tour was of the mall (see http://activerain.com/blogsview/1136956/my-most-popular-virtual-tour-the-mall-)

When I looked at the stats for all my virtual tours, I noticed something even odder: one of our Albuquerque Malls was far more popular than another with virtual visitors!

Coronado Mall, my "most visited" virtual tour, had been viewed by 1263 visitors. That was more than 50% more visits than the competing Cottonwood Mall, located on Albuquerque's West Side, which had only 712 visits.

Cottonwood Mall wasn't even the "second most popular" virtual tour; that honor belonged to the tour of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (which I would have pegged to be the top attraction, tour-wise myself.)

So what made one virtual tour more popular than the other? Until viewing the tour, non-Albuquerqueans wouldn't even have known the location of one vs. the other.

Is it something in the immediate look of the tour? Compare the two, and let me know if you notice one having better shopping "curb appeal" than the other:

And by the way, there's a definite pattern-- more web visitors looked at my "Albuquerque attractions and events" than looked at my property virtual tours, so maybe it's a good idea to get good community virtual tours up on the web!

Sandoval County takes top place again as statistics show that the Cities of Cuba and Bernalillo had the highest percentage of growth rate from 2007 to 2008. Rio Rancho is still holding steady in 7th. This growth in smaller communities like Cuba, reflect the possibility that people are seeking a more rural lifestyle while still having close access to the metro area. The price of land in this area may also be a factor. The city of Cuba is roughly 64 miles from Rio Rancho.

Rio Rancho residents along with those involved with economic development will be glad to know that the expansion of Paseo del Volcan is progressing nicely. The city is now moving forward with taking bids for the construction work on this expansion. The projected completion goal is set for January 2011. When working on the future of Rio Rancho, this expansion is a winner giving additional access around Rio Rancho and especially to the future of the city our own Downtown City Center.
