much less desirable (unless you like cold and snow, of course).

ABQ gets a lot of guff, and, in some cases, for good reason. But there's a ton of great stuff to do there, unbelievably great year round weather, very nice neighborhoods, not nearly as remote as Spokane, and great outdoors stuff.

If you're asking because those are your choices, BM if you'd like. ABQ is great if you do it right.
