What are some cool spots to go to in Albuquerque, New Mexico?
I'm considering moving to Albuquerque, New Mexico from San Diego, California to look for work. I have a good friend that lives over in Santa Fe, NM and he was convincing me that there's some good job openings and affordable housing over in Albuquerque that I want to look at. I just want to know what some cool hang out spots are in Albuquerque to visit if I decide to move over there.

The job market in Albuquerque is not that good. The Federal Government is the largest employer in New Mexico. They operate Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs and the three Air Force Bases in the state. Jobs here don't pay as well as they would elsewhere. New Mexico is the third most impoverished state in the country. 19% of the residents live on or below the poverty line. Don't be surprised if people come up to beg for money on an almost daily basis. New Mexico is the fourth most dangerous state in the country with one of the highest violent crime rates. There are 8000 gang members in Albuquerque. Albuquerque is a desert 5000 feet in elevation. There's a lot of intense sunlight here. People walk around with umbrellas open to keep the sunlight off of them. There are some intense wind storms that blow dust all over the place. And when it does rain, the rain tends to be saturated with dirt. When I moved here my auto insurance doubled. That's because a driver not having insurance tends to be the norm. There are quite a few burglaries and car thefts here. But humidity is rather low. And the Northeast section of town is nice. Otherwise, the place is a dump. Just so you know: Sante Fe translates to Holy Faith. Sandia translates to Watermelon. Rio Grande translates to Big River. Lastly, New Mexico is the only state in the country with two official languages: English and Spanish.
