If you asked me what, say, the 20 most dangerous cities in America were, Albuquerque would not even be on my radar. But apparently it should be.
You obviously haven’t seen Breaking Bad…
I mean, I don’t base my impression of a real city from its fictional version or I’d have never set one foot in Baltimore due to The Wire.
Well I’d avoid New York due to all those alien invasions etc.
London is a lot worse in that respect. The first time I saw the Westminster Bridge in London in person, I was surprised to not see any Cybermen walking across it.
Yeah, but you might get to get a selfie with Thor!
To be fair, Baltimore is worse even than The Wire depicts.
Those ATV riders seem annoying af.
I went there for a wedding. Seemed okay to me.
I submit that you definitely stayed in the “nice” areas. I’ve been there many times. The crime rates and infrastructure decay there is … well known. A friend of mine (who can’t afford the “nice areas” but who is by no means poor) was robbed and had her car broken into her first week there. The problems have continued since. My sister also lived there 20 years ago. It’s only gotten worse.
That is fair lmao
My first day visiting Albuquerque, I was in pizza parlor picking up an order, and the news was on a TV nearby. They were covering the arrest of this cracked out looking couple. The lady behind the counter then explained to me that it was a big local story because those two had tortured and murdered their daughter. Its also the cartheftt capital.
I haven’t been back.
It’s the great drug corridor and it’s got lots and lots of surrounding desert to disappear people, but I live in New Mexico and I go to ABQ a lot and never felt in danger. There are areas I definitely wouldn’t go but that’s just like any city
It’s kinda taken a wrong turn.
