I'll probably never move from Albuquerque but some reason I actually like Tucson better.  The surroundings are prettier. |

Rybert, although the Sandia pic is awesome, you really need to substitute that Tusken Raider pic for your bio. |

Traffic-wise, people, food, arts/culture, cost of living, size of city, and anything else you can think of.
I think the comparison could give me a pretty good idea of what ABQ is all about.
Of course, I'll be visiting soon anyways  |
Overall I would say the cities are comparable. The winning factor for me is New Mexico over Arizona. New Mexico is looking forward. Arizona seems lost in the mindset of keeping the all the retirees happy. This makes a noticeable difference in culture and opportunities for career growth and family fun opportunities between these two metro areas. |

Spaniards do not have a problem with the spelling. Unfortunately the above is not the original correct spelling....
