I have no idea what this means, but abq is a hole. I've never seen another city with half as many drunk driving attorney billboards. Meanwhile, Santa Fe is awesome and Taos is great too (especially in the winter).
A good friend has lived in Sante Fe and loved it there. His father and some family still live there. It's the richest city in the country, and as such, has a lot to offer. It attracts a lot of celebrities and such.
Side comment: apparently Val Kilmer ran for mayor, and those who've met him attest to the ******* temperament that he's known for.
