I vote Tucson but Alb is awfully nice. I don't mind El Paso either but it would be behind the other two.

El Paso gets my vote!
I must respectfully disagree. Being from LA and then being stationed in El Paso, I was utterly disappointed in the Mexican Food. Maybe it's a difference in style but, I do not like it. And don't get me started on Chico's Tacos! lol Other than that El Paso is a nice place, but OH MY GOD it is the WINDIEST PLACE on earth!!!!!

Nothing beats New Mexico's distinct cuisine, I don't care how "mexican" anybody claims their cities food to be. It's unique to it's own, and it beats that nasty Tex-Mex anyday.

Albuquerque also is a quick drive to world class awesome places like Santa Fe and Taos. That alone would put it way above the other two.

I really don't care what the poll speaks for. I like Tucson and that's the end of that. One of my favorite places in the entire country along with Denver, seriously.

Currently El Paso is under a freeway construction boom, the Eastside spaghetti bowl, the Westside Trans- Mtn freeway and it's gigantic fly over bridges over I-10, the Northeast Trans Mtn freeway under pass tru the Patriot freeway, The Cesar Chavez Toll freeway, downtown will now have 2 freeways, 1 on each side. TX Dot has announced the 170 million I-10 beautification project from east to west, all major interchanges including the central spahghetti bowl will be renovated, landscaping and artwork are included.

Yes have heard of landscaping, anything else Observe?


Wow....more UGLY freeways coming?
Are you really that enthralled with Freeways?
Also nobody here has resorted to name calling, I suggest you do the same. 170 million for landscaping huh? Trust me that wont be enough to help that eyesore of a city! Plus what's that smell there....yikes it smells like sewer all the damn time. I see you really feel proud about being from texas as you continually point out it's in New Mexico!
Thats strange considering Texas for the most part could care less about el paso, but nice try. As for voting several times, well the poll only lets you vote once....so YES it speaks for itself!
