Hi, I'll be leaving out of baton rouge this weekend to Houston, I'm basically just trying to get through Texas to new Mexico. Is heading towards albequerqe a good idea?
I lived in ABQ '06-'19 and wouldn't recommend it as a destination unless you have something solid lined up. High crime, mean cops. There are Walmart and Amazon distribution centers nearby and ABQ has a growing movie industry with a huge investment from Netflix. It's also in a beautiful location at the foot of the Sandia Mountains. If you have a place to stay, work would be fairly easy to find. Other places in NM offer more depending on what you're looking for. If you take the southern route, I live off of I-10 about 30min north of Deming, NM in the mountains. I can host for a night or two and can get you to the AZ state line if you're passing through. Further north, Santa Fe and Taos are friendlier but colder this time of year. There are lovely people and places in Texas if you know where to go. If not, get through it as fast as possible. HMU if you have any questions.
