I've always been partial to the Q

Lots cool things there... hiking in the Sandias
Rio Grande Zoo...Old Town ....the bosque in the fall
the balloon fiesta...I could go on and on

OKC seems boring in comparison

OKC seems like a better CITY to me. ABQ looks way better for outdoor options.

OKC's skyline now looks like a big chunk of Buffalo with a little piece of Dallas. They'll definitely need to add more to strike a balance. It's a odd juxtaposition of buildings. If they erected a big shiny tower like that in Albuquerque it would look just as strange.

Albuquerque is like Pasadena a little bit of charm, character and class.

Yes OKC is trying to do a bit of catch up on that charm , character and classy vibe , but being absolutely honest the only edge that OKC has is that (" big city vibe ")...

My wife sister and neice are in ABQ right now at a motel , they are taking a road break on theirs California to Oklahoma trip. I know that they must be taking full advantage of all of ABQ charm and class , but what I love about ABQ the most is that it's a hands down no doult about it (" Exotic ") city.
