i lived there for 4 years. i can say there are some things bad about it like there's so much heat and so many car crashes. to me it's all good from there
Way back when I was just a little bitty boy Living in a box under the stairs In the corner of the basement of the house Half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop You know the place Well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning My mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast Aww, big bowl of sauerkraut Every single morning It was driving me crazy I said to my mom I said "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?" And my dear, sweet mother She just looked at my like a cow looks at an oncoming train And she leaned right down next to me And she said "It's good for you" And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut Until I was twenty six and a half years old That's when I swore that someday Someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer And the towels are oh so fluffy Where the Shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long And anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel Wacka wacka doo-doo yeah Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true Because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest To see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize That's right, a first class one-way ticket to Albuquerque Albuquerque Oh yeah You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before And I gotta tell ya, it was really great Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women With excruciatingly severe body odor And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died Except for me You know why? 'Cause I had my tray table up And my seat back in the full upright position Had my tray table up And my seat back in the full upright position Had my tray table up And my seat back in the full upright position Ah ha ha ha Ah ha ha Ah So I crawled from the twisted, burnin' wreckage I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball And my lucky, lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel But finally I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Holiday Inn Where the towels are oh so fluffy And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna It's OK, they're clean Well, I checked into my room and I turned down the A/C And I turned on the SpectraVision And I'm just about to eat that little chocolate mint on my pillow That I love so very, very much when suddenly, there's a knock on the door Well now, who could that be? I say "Who is it?" No answer "Who is it?" There's no answer "Who is it?" They're not sayin' anything So, finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected It's some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock-Of-Seagulls haircut and only one nostril Oh man, I hate it when I'm right So anyway, he bursts into my room and he grabs my lucky snorkel And I'm like "Hey, you can't have that" "That snorkel's been just like a snorkel to me" And he's like "Tough" And I'm like "Give it" And he's like "Make me" And I'm like "'Kay" So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus And I bit off his ear and he chewed off my eyebrows And I took out his appendix and he gave me a colonic irrigation Yes indeed, you better believe it And somehow in the middle of it all, the phone got knocked off the hook And twenty seconds later, I heard a familiar voice And you know what it said?

I moved to this dump of a state about a year ago. Let me first say if you are Caucasian, this is NOT the state for you - the discrimination is overwhelming!!! If you have any kind of illness, no matter what it is - be prepared to wait about 8 months to a year for a doctor's appointment and when you do finally get in to see a doctor 90% of them are dumb as a box of rocks (guess they can't find a job in any other state), the suicide rate if off the chart. No doubt - you can't - seriously - cant get an appointment to see a therapist and again if you are "lucky" enough to find one they are so ignorant and unprofessional. Housing here sucks!!! One management company (MEB) is the worse - I won't even go into detail what they do. So if you even have any ideas of moving here PLEASE thing twice!!! This place sucks. Run - don't walk to another state!!!
According to US News and World Report, New Mexico ranks 49th out of the 50 states for quality of life, and quality of education ranks 50th out of the 50 states. I'm a third-generation native of Albuquerque, and in no list I have ever seen about the city do the pros outweigh the cons.
ABQ has more than its share of crime for a city it's size. Auto theft is especially bad. Breaking Bad gives it a reputation for drugs whether deserved or not.
I'll be in Albuquerque in 3 weeks,moving to New Mexico from East Coast for a much more peaceful outdoor life.. if you can make it in Baltimore for 49yrs,you can make it in Albuquerque or New Mexico period.. I'm actually looking forward to starting my life there.. haven't necessarily decided on Albuquerque itself,but got a job lined up already there..I'm a mechanical engineer for Natural Gas Infrastructure and Development,plumber/pipefitter(34yrs) here in and around Baltimore,so I shouldn't do too bad in New Mexico
@henry- Last summer in San Antonio it was over 100 every day for such a long stretch of time it broke records. It starts hitting 100 as early as late April and in October we still have 90 to 95 degree highs. It doesn't become "cool" if 80 degrees is cool until Halloween
And yeah to the question "can you handle 90° weather" yeah,it's 80° in Baltimore in May,90-100° July,August,till Late September,November-December 30°,then it hits 10-20° in January,February,March-April 50-70.. weird weather patterns there,one day 20° the very next 60° in Winter.. I've worked outside my entire life,so I'm used to it..
There are no pros to living in Albuquerque and there is no thriving economy. The car theft is high and the murder rate is very high. Avoid living in this city.
If you look in the future I can see a thriving economy as long as you get your foot in the door lol, and every other city have much higher death tolls, as well as rate being aquatinted to gang and drug violence, it isn’t that bad only on paper it is
Spent 18 months traveling through and living in Thailand, Cambodia and Malaysia and I’m coming back to live in ABQ again. I miss it… especially the fantastic New Mexican cuisine!
The cuisine is awesome in NM -- nowhere in the USA can duplicate it. The weather and Spanish/Native American Culture is beautiful - I could retire here easily........beautiful.
Imoved here in 2007 from the northwest. The weather is beautiful. After living in a state the rains 9 months a year . Akbuquerque doesnt have floods, toranados, hurricanes, earthquakes. Very laid back state. There is crime and homelessness every where.albuquerwue is no different. There are alot of hiking and lots of things to see and do.
Thank you for having something decent to say about Albuquerque.. too many people have only negative things to say about it,has me worried honestly being I'm moving there in 3 weeks.. I don't know whether to listen to them or not..
Appreciate the honesty!! Love Albuquerque and I’m ok with people outside having a negative perception and not wanting to move here. It’s getting too big anyway.
@@Seven.And.The.RaggedTigerlived there for a year and despite the thefts and crime and stuff ABQ was cool. There has been some rising in rent prices but depends on what you look for. But if youre into nature and hiking and stuff like that NM is good for that
@@notdoneyet8886 its just a city not going anywhere anytime fast. Its more expensive to live there than youd think(good neighborhoods away from the crime). It has a weird culture. Its just not a good place bro. I had good times there but Im not mad I left.
Albuquerque is a dump. I grew up there and left at 17. Parents still live there and every time I visit I’m so glad I left (I do miss the food). I worked at the Tram all though high school and had a good childhood there but the crime is out of control and the economy sucks-
True left there 2 months ago. I miss the nature and beauty of the area but the city started sucking after a while. Only will miss the good times and come to visit friends
very inaccurate description of real life living there. The homeless, drug and poverty problem is rampant and everywhere. From the gas stations to wal-Mart it is easily spotted and large encampments under bridges amd in public parks.
@hansgruber650 RANDY JUDAH TORREZ ❤️ < That despicable Abomination Obama That's who, sleepy Joe changed it to please pass the Butter 🧈 😆 🤣 😂 *TRUMP 2024* 💯 👍 🇺🇸
Great video, but the food scene in ABQ is neither diverse nor high quality. Too many fast food chains. We can't even find a good authentic Mexican place to eat -- everything has red or green chile!
The food gets old quick. Unless you like to eat the same place every week or month. Alot fast food joints and mom and pop joints. You get tired of New Mexican food after awhile.
Some of the worst drivers in New Mexico and they drive fast, bad combo. Many, many homeless downtown and even in the 'burbs. Terrible health care (don't believe me? look it up yourself). Watch out what area you move to because crime can be rampant.Again, look this stuff up yourself. Schools are terrible with low graduation rates.
Hahahaha this video talking about a thriving economy in burque 😂 she out here lying. They don't pay shit out here and there's barely any jobs also housing costs are inflated.
Yeah! It sucks! Once I went to a donut shop here, ended up getting bitten by weasels. Many women here wanted you to join the “Columbia Record Club”, which I greatly despise. Do you want to know the craziest moment while in Albuquerque? Some big fat guy who had hermaphrodite came in my hotel room and stole my snorkel for no exact reason!
nice city i heard there's a food chain called Los Pollos hermanos , i'd like to work there someday
Hehe
There’s only one of those, mainly hyped upped by breaking bad. But definitely cheaper than a lot of places and full of ungentrified culture
i lived there for 4 years.
i can say there are some things bad about it like there's so much heat and so many car crashes.
to me it's all good from there
when you live in Albuquerque you don't get forced to eat sauerkraut
Way back when I was just a little bitty boy
Living in a box under the stairs
In the corner of the basement of the house
Half a block down the street from Jerry's Bait shop
You know the place
Well anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was just peachy
Except, of course, for the undeniable fact that every single morning
My mother would make me a big ol' bowl of sauerkraut for breakfast
Aww, big bowl of sauerkraut
Every single morning
It was driving me crazy
I said to my mom
I said "Hey, mom, what's up with all the sauerkraut?"
And my dear, sweet mother
She just looked at my like a cow looks at an oncoming train
And she leaned right down next to me
And she said "It's good for you"
And then she tied me to the wall and stuck a funnel in my mouth
And force fed me nothing but sauerkraut
Until I was twenty six and a half years old
That's when I swore that someday
Someday I would get outta that basement and travel to a magical, far away place
Where the sun is always shining and the air smells like warm root beer
And the towels are oh so fluffy
Where the Shriners and the lepers play their ukuleles all day long
And anyone on the street will gladly shave your back for a nickel
Wacka wacka doo-doo yeah
Well, let me tell you, people, it wasn't long at all before my dream came true
Because the very next day, a local radio station had this contest
To see who could correctly guess the number of molecules in Leonard Nimoy's butt
I was off by three, but I still won the grand prize
That's right, a first class one-way ticket to
Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Oh yeah
You know, I'd never been on a real airplane before
And I gotta tell ya, it was really great
Except that I had to sit between two large Albanian women
With excruciatingly severe body odor
And the little kid in back of me kept throwin' up the whole time
The flight attendants ran out of Dr. Pepper and salted peanuts
And the in-flight movie was Bio-Dome with Pauly Shore
And, oh yeah, three of the airplane engines burned out
And we went into a tailspin and crashed into a hillside
And the plane exploded in a giant fireball and everybody died
Except for me
You know why?
'Cause I had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Had my tray table up
And my seat back in the full upright position
Ah ha ha ha
Ah ha ha
Ah
So I crawled from the twisted, burnin' wreckage
I crawled on my hands and knees for three full days
Draggin' along my big leather suitcase and my garment bag
And my tenor saxophone and my twelve-pound bowling ball
And my lucky, lucky autographed glow-in-the-dark snorkel
But finally I arrived at the world famous Albuquerque Holiday Inn
Where the towels are oh so fluffy
And you can eat your soup right out of the ashtrays if you wanna
It's OK, they're clean
Well, I checked into my room and I turned down the A/C
And I turned on the SpectraVision
And I'm just about to eat that little chocolate mint on my pillow
That I love so very, very much when suddenly, there's a knock on the door
Well now, who could that be?
I say "Who is it?"
No answer
"Who is it?"
There's no answer
"Who is it?"
They're not sayin' anything
So, finally I go over and I open the door and just as I suspected
It's some big fat hermaphrodite with a Flock-Of-Seagulls haircut and only one nostril
Oh man, I hate it when I'm right
So anyway, he bursts into my room and he grabs my lucky snorkel
And I'm like "Hey, you can't have that"
"That snorkel's been just like a snorkel to me"
And he's like "Tough"
And I'm like "Give it"
And he's like "Make me"
And I'm like "'Kay"
So I grabbed his leg and he grabbed my esophagus
And I bit off his ear and he chewed off my eyebrows
And I took out his appendix and he gave me a colonic irrigation
Yes indeed, you better believe it
And somehow in the middle of it all, the phone got knocked off the hook
And twenty seconds later, I heard a familiar voice
And you know what it said?
I'll tell you what it said
It said
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator"
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
"If you need help, hang up and then dial your operator"
In Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Well, to cut a long story short, he got away with my snorkel
But I made a solemn vow right then and there that I would not rest
I would not sleep for an instant until the one-nostrilled man was brought to justice
But first, I decided to buy some donuts
So I got in my car and I drove over to the donuts shop
And I walked on up to the guy behind the counter
And he says "Yeah, what do ya want?"
I said "You got any glazed donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta glazed donuts"
I said "Well, you got any jelly donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta jelly donuts"
I said "You got any Bavarian cream-filled donuts?"
He said "No, we're outta Bavarian cream-filled donuts"
I said "You got any cinnamon rolls?"
He said "No, we're outta cinnamon rolls"
I said "You got any apple fritters?"
He said "No, we're outta apple fritters"
I said "You got any bear claws?"
He said "Wait a minute, I'll go check"
"No, we're outta bear claws"
I said "Well, in that case, in that case, what do you have?"
He says "All I got right now is this box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels"
I said "OK, I'll take that"
So he hands me the box and I open up the lid and the weasels jump out
And they immediately latch onto my face and start bitin' me all over
Oh man, they were just going nuts
They were tearin' me apart
You know, I think it was just about that time
That a little ditty started goin' through my head
I believe it went a little something like this
Doh
Get 'em off me
Get 'em off me
Oh
No, get 'em off, get 'em off
Oh, oh God, oh God
Oh, get 'em off me
Oh, oh God
Ah, aah, aah
I ran out into the street with these flesh-eating weasels all over my face
Wavin' my arms all around and just runnin', runnin', runnin'
Like a constipated wiener dog
And as luck would have it
That's exactly when I ran into the girl of my dreams
Her name was Zelda
She was a calligraphy enthusiast
With a slight overbite and hair the color of strained peaches
I'll never forget the very first thing she said to me
She said "Hey, you've got weasels on your face"
That's when I knew it was true love
We were inseparable after that
Aw, we ate together, we bathed together
We even shared the same piece of mint-flavored dental floss
The world was our burrito
So we got married and we bought us a house
And had two beautiful children, Nathaniel and Superfly
Oh, we were so very very very happy, aw yeah
But then one fateful night, Zelda said to me
She said "Sweetie pumpkin? Do you wanna join the Columbia Record Club?"
I said "Whoa, hold on now, baby"
"I'm just not ready for that kind of a commitment"
So we broke up and I never saw her again
But that's just the way things go
In Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Anyway, things really started lookin' up for me
Because about a week later, I finally achieved my lifelong dream
That's right, I got me a part-time job at The Sizzler
I even made employee of the month after I put out that grease fire out with my face
Aw yeah, everybody was pretty jealous of me after that
I was gettin' a lot of attitude
Ok, like one time, I was out in the parking lot
Tryin' to remove my excess earwax with a golf pencil
When I see this guy Marty
Tryin' to carry a big ol' sofa up the stairs all by himself
So I, I say to him, I say "Hey, you want me to help you with that?"
And Marty, he just rolls his eyes and goes
"No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw"
So I did
And then he gets all indignant on me
He's like "Hey man, I was just being sarcastic"
Well, that's just great
How was I supposed to know that?
I'm not a mind reader for cryin' out loud
Besides, now he's got a really cute nickname, Torso-Boy
So what's he complaining about?
Say, that reminds me of another amusing anecdote
This guy comes up to me on the street
And he tells he hasn't had a bite in three days
Well, I knew what he meant
But just to be funny, I took a big bite out of his jugular vein
And he's yellin' and screamin' and bleeding all over
And I'm like "Hey, come on, don't you get it?"
But he just keeps rolling around on the sidewalk, bleeding, and screaming
You know, completely missing the irony of the whole situation
Man, some people just can't take a joke, you know?
Anyway, um, um, where was I?
Kinda lost my train of thought
Uh, well, uh, OK
Anyway I, I know it's kinda been a roundabout way of saying it
But I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is
I hate sauerkraut
That's all I'm really tryin' to say
And, by the way, if one day you happen to wake up
And find yourself in an existential quandary
Full of loathing and self-doubt
And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence
At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that
Somewhere out there in this crazy ol' mixed-up universe of ours
There's still a little place called
Albuquerque
Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, Albuquerque
I said "A" (A)
"L" (L)

Glad your enjoying your stay.
Its a democrap state
What is the best and safest area for me as a disabled visual fine artist to live in for a garden style type apartment (not a high rise apartment)?
Great info, great visuals, but why are you yelling over the jazz music? Who needs it?
We have visited several times and had very wonderful experiences. Driving was a bit crazy but it was beautiful and people were really nice.

It ain't just Albuquerque either New Mexico has some of the most violent small towns in the country

Imoved here in 2007 from the northwest. The weather is beautiful. After living in a state the rains 9 months a year . Akbuquerque doesnt have floods, toranados, hurricanes, earthquakes. Very laid back state. There is crime and homelessness every where.albuquerwue is no different. There are alot of hiking and lots of things to see and do.
Thank you for having something decent to say about Albuquerque.. too many people have only negative things to say about it,has me worried honestly being I'm moving there in 3 weeks.. I don't know whether to listen to them or not..
Appreciate the honesty!! Love Albuquerque and I’m ok with people outside having a negative perception and not wanting to move here. It’s getting too big anyway.
@@Seven.And.The.RaggedTigerlived there for a year and despite the thefts and crime and stuff ABQ was cool. There has been some rising in rent prices but depends on what you look for. But if youre into nature and hiking and stuff like that NM is good for that
Background music is overtaking your voice
Crime and a corrupt police department are not a good look.
I left Albuquerque.
Can you give reasons why? Thanks
@@notdoneyet8886 its just a city not going anywhere anytime fast. Its more expensive to live there than youd think(good neighborhoods away from the crime). It has a weird culture. Its just not a good place bro. I had good times there but Im not mad I left.
@@naysaynetwork5271 does this include all the southwest? I had that place on my radar
@@notdoneyet8886 southwest is ghetto. Under developed.
@@notdoneyet8886 the good places are north east, nob hill, old town, and paseo.
Albuquerque is a dump. I grew up there and left at 17. Parents still live there and every time I visit I’m so glad I left (I do miss the food). I worked at the Tram all though high school and had a good childhood there but the crime is out of control and the economy sucks-
True left there 2 months ago. I miss the nature and beauty of the area but the city started sucking after a while. Only will miss the good times and come to visit friends
very inaccurate description of real life living there. The homeless, drug and poverty problem is rampant and everywhere. From the gas stations to wal-Mart it is easily spotted and large encampments under bridges amd in public parks.
Nah I’d rather chose Santa Fe over ABQ
Is this Jimmy McGill talking?
If you can afford it and can stomach its preciousness!
Hermosa ciudad ay de todo me gusta me movere Pronto a Albuquerque o cerca
Homeless. On the rise
Crime. On the rise
Good paying jobs. On the decline.
Building Back Better, jeez who did I hear that from?

That's who, sleepy Joe changed it to please pass the Butter 🧈 😆 🤣 😂
*TRUMP 2024* 💯 👍 🇺🇸
Great video, but the food scene in ABQ is neither diverse nor high quality. Too many fast food chains. We can't even find a good authentic Mexican place to eat -- everything has red or green chile!
Agreed. The food is mundane.
The food gets old quick. Unless you like to eat the same place every week or month. Alot fast food joints and mom and pop joints. You get tired of New Mexican food after awhile.
If you can’t find authentic Mexican food you’re not looking.
I mean a pro is that you know the place
This sounds like a tourists magazine. Abq is meh 😏
Some of the worst drivers in New Mexico and they drive fast, bad combo. Many, many homeless downtown and even in the 'burbs. Terrible health care (don't believe me? look it up yourself). Watch out what area you move to because crime can be rampant.Again, look this stuff up yourself. Schools are terrible with low graduation rates.
nice
It's kinda grimy
Hahahaha this video talking about a thriving economy in burque 😂 she out here lying. They don't pay shit out here and there's barely any jobs also housing costs are inflated.
Albuquerque is always in the top 10 most dangerous cities in America. Don't get me wrong, I love it here, but it takes a certain type ❤🕊
I've lived here for 3 years, and I think people overembellish the crime. If you just stay out of the warzone, it's not too bad here.
@foslrock Idk. I live in a nice neighborhood, and I'm starting to see homeless people manhandling and robbing the stores blind, on the daily.
She meant to say balloon FIASCO.
😂😂😂 for real. 16 dollar burritos and hell of traffic at 4am. 80% rain outs to no fly outs.
I hate the balloon fiasco ! Traffic becomes ridiculous, streets are closed off, and everything is expensive.
@@ermiechavez4200 Tell me about it. I used to live in the North valley, just 4 miles away. Loving the mountains of AZ now
even better qualified immunity is dead in New Mexico!
The worst cons of abq is.
*We need to cook*
How are the women?
Alot women with kids. Divorced women.
Mean ! Lots of criminals.
i know the pros ill tell u that
Pro every one on probation cons dont drive a Hyundai or kia
ALBUQUERQUE SUCKS DONT MOVE HERE
Real
Yeah! It sucks! Once I went to a donut shop here, ended up getting bitten by weasels. Many women here wanted you to join the “Columbia Record Club”, which I greatly despise. Do you want to know the craziest moment while in Albuquerque? Some big fat guy who had hermaphrodite came in my hotel room and stole my snorkel for no exact reason!
Very bad drivers
Don't come here, we don't want you to move here!
Hard pass, no thanks
