I love Albuquerque and New Mexico in general. Still have friends and relatives there, and still visit often. Moved to Albq three times and used to own a house in the "war zone". Got my first speeding ticket southbound on Louisiana approaching Gibson in a Studebaker pickup truck. :)
It's a little sad how we as a state we have lots of crime here and are one of the most forgotten states. There might also be a lot of hate but new Mexico has a beautiful side too.
After travelling around the last few years, I've noticed the whole USA seems to be crime ridden and in decline. The good thing about NM not being noticed means it is affordable to live here. You don't want to pay $3,000 for a shoebox with no washer like in other cities.
4 years later sitting on the edge of an authorization take over this was a blessing in disguise. Can u imagine a hostile takeover? We would steal all the taks no tractor needed.
@@naysaynetwork5271 so true. When I worked for a company in the 90s that handle insurance claims, people all around the country got really mad because they thought they were sending their claims out of the country.
I placed an order for some shoes on ebay and the seller messaged me saying she doesn't ship out of the country. I replied, good for you, I don't think I would either if I was a seller. She lived in Texas. 🤣🤣🤣
My family has some connections to Albuquerque's recent history. My father, George Morrison, was the city's first TV news anchorperson, doing the news at KOB in the 1950s and KOAT in the '60s. (between those stints, he lived in Indiana, where I was born). My Mom worked at Sandia air base, where they put the nuclear bombs on the missiles. Though she was an office worker, I can just hear, "Hi, honey. Have a hard day at armageddon?"
I live in Albuquerque! It's wonderful to see someone discussing part of NM's incredible history. Thanks for the video :) (Also, if anyone is ever in the ABQ area, I recommend Garcia's for New Mexican food over Frontier, just personal preference)
Yeah I don't understand the hype of Frontier there are so many places that are way better when I think of New Mexican food Frontier doesn't even cross my mind.
Red Chile - El Modelo green Chile - El Bruno’s Lived here all my life and those are my favorites But there are too many good places to eat here (Not El Pinto)
I hear people complaining all the time nowadays that Sadie's has gone downhill. But I can't imagine it's gotten worse than Frontier that's for sure. I only go to the (sort of) original 4th Street Sadie's (the real original bowling alley location doesnt exist anymore). And I haven't been in a while. But it was perfectly fine when I went within the last year ... When I think "New Mexican Food" I think Sadie's, 1000%, period. Stuffed Sopapilla, with Spicy ground beef, all the fixings, and Green Chilé please :-D. And bring out an extra basket of Sopapilla's, fresh.
Alexander Herlan well, the REAL original Sadie’s was a walk up stand at Osuna and 2nd (my mom grew up on Montano between 2nd and 4th and always talked about the original location). I’m not a big fan of Sadie’s because I just feel like they just want to go for HOT and no other flavor to their Chile. I like my Chile more medium or medium-hot.
I subbed for 3 reasons first reason I live in New Mexico second reason you have Smedley Butlers War is a Racket and third your videos are great.. Keep up the great work!
In a book titled "Two thousand miles on horseback" 1867 the writer James F. Meline, mentioned he rode from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. He wrote that it was a moslty wasted trip with just mud huts surrounded by pigs and chickens. He was glad to return to Santa Fe. The railroad arrived in 1880 and things changed.
I think one additional thing that would have been worth mentioning about the culture is that the entire state is bilingual English and Spanish, in Albuquerque, you don’t even need to speak just English, you could speak just Spanish when out...there are signs, billboards, and even the public school system are all bilingual.
Could LATIN be the INBETWEEN language of Discourse? During party Time: the ghost of JOHN BELUSHI in Animal House: "TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!" or alternately TOGA= "TO GA.!": "TO GEORGIA!", that is southern GEORGIA, not RUSSIAN" Georgia, unless the NATIVE AMERICANS, on a war path choose to always "RUSH IN" to ALBURQUERQUE, New Mexico, after a Hollywood film-like POW WOW.
Since when? I've lived here over 50 years and only the Mexicans from Mexico, are bilingual. My ex lived with his Mexican Grandmother, and they did not teach him the language. They wanted him to be American.
As a person from Albuquerque, I love the New Mexican culture, food, art, and scientific studies at the Los Alamos National Labatory, the first ever atomic bomb was detonated in Southeastern NM, and home for the birth of Smokey the Bear, plus, Albuquerque is on the Eastern Sandia Mountain Ridge, It is known as the East Mountains, I 40 cuts right through the Tjeras Canyon, Tjeras is a small village in the canyon, New Mexico is a beautiful state.
I’d love to see more New Mexico history videos! There’s a lot of interesting history here that doesn’t get a lot of national attention, like the Pueblo revolt.
Fun to watch. My great- grandfather immigrated to Albuquerque around 1890 from Hoganes Sweden. Green to brown to say the least. My recently born (dec 5) grandson is 5th gen Albuquerquean - not too bad for an Anglo, huh - but nothing for an indigenous. Despite all the negatives, obviously Burque and New Mexico in general, have a lot to offer. Thanks...
Sorry partner, Anglo means English. And as I am Swedish German and Shawnee. You and I are not English. New Mexico is the best ! No place is perfect, but I am staying here as a New Mexican, for the better I pray.
Well, since I'm descended from Washington line on my dad's side, we'll consider that "Anglo " - however out here in NM, Anglo is sort of a catchall term meaning, basically, "whitey". So I guess I qualify on both counts!
@@cindyduran4236 It's literally just the luck of the draw with the car thefts :( DEFINITELY recommend buying a steering wheel lock, its the best deterrent besides parking in your garage! Good luck, don't let the negatives ruin ABQ for ya, its beautiful here!!
I remember how in Elementary school, they would press us on spelling Albuquerque right. No one was able to but after years in Elementary, I got it down. Many locals struggle. It's pretty sad, haha.
ive been making preparations to move to ABQ and came across this video, which lead me around your channel. i like to learn about places before i go and ivr traveled most of the continental USA. New Mexico is very attractive to me. i cant wait to move and live the rest of my life there. thanks for putting out such an interesting and detailed video about its history. i cant wait to do my photography around the state.
This makes me miss home, but also not miss home at the same time. I'm glad that someone tackled Albuquerque history, though. Go enjoy an isotopes game for me
I spent about a week in Albuquerque in 2009. My friend and I were looking for something to do so we went to the Unser racing museum. We had heard of the Unsers but we weren't super into racing really, just looking to kill some time. We walk in the front door and there's a friendly old guy greeting people but we didn't pay much attention to him. Round the corner and get to the first exibit and see the pictures and that's when I realized we'd just blown off Al Unser in his own museum.
"sometimes you just gotta learn how to mis-pronounce correctly"...the americans probably thought "sometimes you just gotta learn how to mis-spell correctly".
"And then the Texans invaded" *shakes fist* Seriously, though, this is great. I grew up in Albuquerque, although I was not born there. I never fully appreciated the place until I moved away for college. Now I look on it with fondness, flaws and all, and I look forward to taking my kids back there once air travel is safe again. Also, I was required to take NM History in school and I absolutely hated it, but that was mostly down to a bad teacher. Your presentation here was much more engaging.
I have to disagree, frontier is good but there's a few that rival it: El Modelo, Los Cuates, El Charritos, Garcias, Bob's Burgers, Abuelitas, Wecks, are a few I would recommend among others. Loved the video BTW, will watch it a couple more times.
I was just un New Mexico filming. I wish I saw your channel beforehand. So funny we sad Bug's saying when there. Coming back soon. Would love to collaborate
The state legislature will not fix the tax code. I personally know many businesses that want to move here. But will not, the state taxes machinery yearly. All so taxes labor twice. I our own a Locksmith business. The state tax code is a scam, the politicians are still terribly corrupt. And I love this State !
GoodJob !, Born and raised in Albuquerque BCMC To Be Exact ..I tried to leave ,Travel to different places in the US but this is my home and I love the Chili I mean my city and I love my state and I’m digging the history , I own a Book of Albuquerque’s history that my mom gave to me that a 94y woman she cared for in the late 80s that was teaching at UNM her whole life gave to her, I will be sharing this video with my grown adult kids and sisters and brother o and of course my mom who is a Texan kicked out of Texas at the age of 18 she arrived here in 1972 married my father who graduated from old Albuquerque high school and then had us kids pretty cool thank you for taking the time and putting in effort Hope to see more of these
Clicked on this video with mainly hate and resentment in my heart for Albuquerque and after convincing myself to watch it with the second though that maybe you could help me to not have as much hate for NM, and I’m glad I watched. I’m now leaving with more understanding, and not as much focus on the crime, poor living standards that many people are okay with down there, the third world feel basically, and I hope to keep doing this with any place or thing that I don’t exactly like. Anger is just not good to hold in 👏 👏 👏.
@6:51 the town lost one of its "R's" because the Anglo-Saxon(gringos) couldn't pronounce it. This was after Mexico lost its territories when NM became a state in 1912.
My hometown I love it I miss it and I'm stuck in Louisiana you think it's bad there you haven't gone anywhere else I guarantee you every major city has her problems
i’m from houston but have also lived in baltimore, chicago, and philadelphia. i currently live in albuquerque and i love it! its so unique and love how close hiking is. people who focus on the negatives will only find more negativity. been here for a good amount of time now and i have never had a car break in, or been in any bad situations. i was more fearful while in a big city.
Alonso's Passion i really like the elena gallegos open space park off the tramway, it’s a 2 dollar entrance fee. i’ve hiked at the cibola national forest, santa fe national forest, and carson national forest (2.5 hr away) and they all are extremely beautiful and less visited. i find everywhere i go on the alltrails app and just look for trails at my skill level and with good ratings/views.
I was stick in Columbia, SC and it was HORRIBLE. I now live and love ABQ! So unique and beautiful. I love hiking and biking in the mountains without driving 2 hours!!
A very informative video about a city only rarely heard over here in Greece and most people found out about it via Breaking Bad...alas there's more to it than a show!
When I visited Madrid, Spain and people asked where in the US I was from, they would only understand what I was talking about if I brought up Breaking Bad. They would always get so excited about it, haha.
Ahhh, the memories of Albuquerque listening to the T.J. Trout morning show on 94 Rock KZRR and eating the famous cineman rolls from frontier restaurant 😋 So much I miss about Albuquerque.

2 more bodies found on Christmas day. I'm pretty sure that makes 79 homicides for the year.

Commit coronavirus I think you mean everyday
Correctly??
ABQ native and this was so cool to watch! So much I didn’t know :)
As a person who goes to UNM and goes to the history department, it’s such a prevalent use of this types of native style works.

Would have gone there but Texas calls

I would love to see a map of Albuquerque growth as the suburbs started to pop up, post war.
Yes! I think suburban sprawl has led to a lot of ABQ’s current problems with traffic fatalities and lack of affordable housing

I've driven through ABQ many times, but haven't spent alot of time there. Spent some time in santa fe and absolutely loved it. Truly a unique place
Are you going to continue making NM history videos I love these?
i hope he does. he seems very thorough and makes his information super digestable. id love to hear a lot more about the native people.
I moved to Albuquerque a year ago, and I'm still not fully used to living here.
the video nobody asked for but the video we all need.
Albuquerque is also known for being in a Weird Al song
My mother's Candelaria ancestors were part of the 1706 founding families. Candelaria Street is named after them. ❤
Even after the COVID pandemic, Albuquerque is still a growing city. But Crime is still bad around the International District..
Thanks for this informative shoot. This would help with the students about local history.
I loved learning about my city, burquenos for life ❤
Fun to watch this after living in ABQ for a few months for an engineering internship. Thanks for the video!

I'm moving from Alaska to Taos NM in November, I've been watching your history of NM videos, keep up the good work man
Hate living in ABQ but love this video. Really great job.

We don’t pronounce the missing R in Albuquerque.
But that's where burque comes from, never understood why anyone said that until I saw the original spelling
Yeah, I don''t think the pronunciation with 'r' is common here at all.
What was weird is that he didn't pronounce the R, but he said we still do.
Well, you're wrong and now you've been corrected. 😉
queR que. I think we do.
Haven't even finished but it's nice to see sumppl taking interest

I our own a Locksmith business. The state tax code is a scam, the politicians are still terribly corrupt.
And I love this State !
GoodJob !, Born and raised in Albuquerque BCMC To Be Exact ..I tried to leave ,Travel to different places in the US but this is my home and I love the Chili I mean my city and I love my state and I’m digging the history , I own a Book of Albuquerque’s history that my mom gave to me that a 94y woman she cared for in the late 80s that was teaching at UNM her whole life gave to her, I will be sharing this video with my grown adult kids and sisters and brother o and of course my mom who is a Texan kicked out of Texas at the age of 18 she arrived here in 1972 married my father who graduated from old Albuquerque high school and then had us kids pretty cool thank you for taking the time and putting in effort Hope to see more of these
Chile. Chili is that Brown stuff in a can.
I'm not originally from abq but I've always felt at home there, hope to move there one day!
As a Burqueno, I approve 100%. Great job!! Really enjoyed your video.
Good job man. I grew upbin Farmington NM. Loved the history lesson.
Can you possibly do a video on Las Vegas, NM? So much history there!
Clicked on this video with mainly hate and resentment in my heart for Albuquerque and after convincing myself to watch it with the second though that maybe you could help me to not have as much hate for NM, and I’m glad I watched. I’m now leaving with more understanding, and not as much focus on the crime, poor living standards that many people are okay with down there, the third world feel basically, and I hope to keep doing this with any place or thing that I don’t exactly like. Anger is just not good to hold in 👏 👏 👏.
I have come to see that third world conditions exist all over the USA ... Every time it rains, the Hudson river in NYC overflows with raw sewage 🤢🤮
I visit often but I miss the Double Rainbow Bakery and Cafe. I live in Tucson which I regard as a close twin of ABQ.
I just found your channel and I can’t stop watching . I live in Rio Rancho. Thank you for your work
I'd just like to let you know I'll be citing your video in my CNM history project :) I'm glad to learn more about where I live too, so thanks!
Thank you. This was great
Land of entrapment.
Omni1 Omni2 about right
Lmfao. Was going to put that. Burque
Burque? Or all of NM? I'm in LC and I feel like a prisoner here
EATMY BULLETZ all of nm
Come on vacation, leave on probation
@6:51 the town lost one of its "R's" because the Anglo-Saxon(gringos) couldn't pronounce it. This was after Mexico lost its territories when NM became a state in 1912.
False. It list its r sometime in the 18th century
Nice video. Very informative. ABQ's beginnings kind of help explain why it is the way it is today.
My hometown I love it I miss it and I'm stuck in Louisiana you think it's bad there you haven't gone anywhere else I guarantee you every major city has her problems
i’m from houston but have also lived in baltimore, chicago, and philadelphia. i currently live in albuquerque and i love it! its so unique and love how close hiking is. people who focus on the negatives will only find more negativity. been here for a good amount of time now and i have never had a car break in, or been in any bad situations. i was more fearful while in a big city.
taylor /: where do u recommend hiking?
Alonso's Passion i really like the elena gallegos open space park off the tramway, it’s a 2 dollar entrance fee. i’ve hiked at the cibola national forest, santa fe national forest, and carson national forest (2.5 hr away) and they all are extremely beautiful and less visited. i find everywhere i go on the alltrails app and just look for trails at my skill level and with good ratings/views.
I was stick in Columbia, SC and it was HORRIBLE. I now live and love ABQ! So unique and beautiful. I love hiking and biking in the mountains without driving 2 hours!!
Keep it up great content you earned a sub
A very informative video about a city only rarely heard over here in Greece and most people found out about it via Breaking Bad...alas there's more to it than a show!
When I visited Madrid, Spain and people asked where in the US I was from, they would only understand what I was talking about if I brought up Breaking Bad. They would always get so excited about it, haha.
Awesome job. I would have to disagree with you on the frontier restaurant though that place sucks.
Did a good job on this video!
Yay! this was good, thanks!
Very nicely done!
I passed through Albuquerque earlier today. As I passed under Juan Tabo,I rolled down my window and yelled *Happy Hannikauh,Sgt Patton* !
Thanks 🙏 for making it interesting
Ahhh, the memories of Albuquerque listening to the T.J. Trout morning show on 94 Rock KZRR and eating the famous cineman rolls from frontier restaurant 😋 So much I miss about Albuquerque.
Excellent encapsulation, thank you .
Very nice. Just moved back from Monterey CA. Great town!
I moved here from San Luis Obispo, CA. I miss SLO
