I’m sure it has it’s unique features and geography. I have only driven through it on I40 and what little I saw looked nice. The overpasses had a nice pink salmon paint scheme to them IIRC. The part I meant you could apply to any large US city is living near but not in.
I’ve been through Alb many times.
saw JAWS at the theater there. The worst trip was back in 1985 when all I could see was blowing dust. No town at all.
