Rant: The tamale lady vanished from my street corner last month
For like three years straight there was this older woman who'd set up a little cooler on the corner of Fourth and Mountain every Sunday morning. Best red chile pork tamales I ever had, two for five bucks. Then about a month ago she just disappeared, no warning or anything, and I haven't seen her since. Has anyone else in Abq had a favorite street vendor suddenly ghost the neighborhood like that?

Hold up, is this really worth a whole rant? People move. Vendors change spots. It's not like she was running a Michelin star operation from a cooler. Half the time those tamale ladies rotate based on what's in season or if their grandkids need watching. You'll probably see her pop up at a different corner in a month selling biscochitos or something.

Fourth and Mountain was my go-to spot too and I'm still not over it if I'm being honest. I once walked three blocks in the wrong direction hoping I just had the wrong corner, which says a lot about my navigation skills and my tamale priorities. Guess we're both out here wandering aimlessly wondering if we'll ever find that perfect two for five deal again.
