Very nice thread, Ive always been fond of ABQ even though its kicking Phoenix's butt right now in the Film Production business.
We do need more ABQ and New Mexico threads in general, I sure wish ABQ/New Mexico folks would head on over to the
Southwest Section and keep us all up to date on whats going on there. Right now the SW section is somewhat overly AZ centric and Id love more from Vegas, NM and West Texas folks.

That couldn't be less true, but OK. First ABQ isn't really a desert in the way that Phx, Tucson, Palm Springs, Yuma, El Paso or Vegas is, its arid but sort of on the border of being desert or not depending on ones definition.
Secondly, Im also not sure how you're defining 'urban' but ABQ is certainly no more urban than Phoenix or Tucson by any measurement.

Ah we can always count on you to bash Phx even when the threads not about it, glad you didn't let me down.
I'm not sure what the obsession is with on this board that some folks feel like they need to praise one city or region by knocking another, its rather silly.
