Albuquerque

I just put this one of the threads but will put here too.
I'd love to hear how and why Vince Gilligan chose Albuquerque as the location of the show and the Albuq. Country Club as Jesse's neighborhood. I grew up in ACC in late 60's early 70's and really enjoy the scenes they shoot on the streets. It is a classic and beautiful neighborhood. I'd love to see more. I know the house they are using for Jesse's house. I used to play with the family across the street and play in the park around the corner. It;s a great choice for Jesse's house because it's such a contridiction to the entire classic, quiet style of the "hood".

I live here in NM and did work up at the Labs in the other LA as we called it ;-).. that and bombsville.

It is quite a unique area of the country. The land of enchantment..or entrapment.. depends who you talk to ;-)

Yes while it has the largest number of phd's anywhere, it is also very dirt poor. I do hope they work in some other cities such as Los Alamos, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces.
