There really is a Las Vegas in New Mexico. I swear. It's not quite an hour north of Santa Fe, 2 hours north of Albuquerque on I-25.
I've got a job prospect there, and I'm in need of experiences, opinions, etc. for my pro/con list. Right now I'm in Bakersfield, PDRK.
The job's similar, so call that a wash, except I'd be giving up 12 years of seniority.
Pay's lower, but so are taxes and the cost of living, so call that a wash, too.
Albuquerque's my home town, and my family's there, but they're holding down the fort just fine without me.
I posted a thread a while back wherein I said I had turned down a job in Roswell, NM because that town was so horrible (I mean depressing! ). I got some pretty strong replies to the effect that any reason to get out of PDRK is a good one, and the worst town outside is better than the best one inside. Problem is, Bakersfield/Kern County is the last pro-rights stronghold, and it really isn't too bad. So humor me - pretend it's possible I'm not crazy. This wouldn't even be an issue if I were still stuck in the bay area.
So who's from that neck of the woods? What can you tell me about it? People, what's going on, places to shoot, good/bad areas, land prices, etc. Anything you can tell me about it would be appreciated.
