- I have to say that when I drove across the US eight years ago, I found
- Albuquerque utterly lacking in charm or character. Most of it seemed
- to be a sprawling mess of suburban trash, err, tract homes, fast food
- joints, and highway clutter.
-
- I suggest skipping it entirely. Poke around nearby Santa Fe and Taos instead.
- They still have a distinctive culture, and most of their historic character
- intact.
