so here it is... new mexico is awesome and i would like to be there. taos is a dream ive been cooking up for some time and i was a little naive, got enticed by the incredibly cheap homes about 5-10 miles out of town. what i learned in my 2 days there is that it is not a real city yet, just a town. no scene to speak of except for the tourism and the ski season.. yeah im sure there is some great biking, fishing etc... but to live there you have to be self employed or self sufficient including a rock'n babe on you're arm who wants some seclusion. the locals i talked to all pointed to the fact that it is a struggle to live there b/c of the lack of good paying jobs....and that leads to a high level of drunks:) (i can get that in tulsa:) but boy what a beautiful place to retire, so i think ill work on that... just how that plays out im still unsure? im ironing out the details with my boss/friend/john about staying here which means we will have a bar open by feb next year... if i like that idea and can commit to denton for at least 3 years after open, ill stay. if not i may go back to tulsa, polish up the house and sell it etc... now albuquerque is the sleeper, very liberal, groovy town that is on the bubble of getting groovier. tons of artists, great architecture and a great energy around UNM and the nob hill area. in albuquerque, one would also have their pulse on the the taos vibe if it breaks (film festival is kicking etc..) and get to enjoy all that beauty.... so who knows but i was told i have a 4/15 deadline to decide???? shit then today a great friend told me her and her hubby were moving to boone, nc and i needed to join:)??

You should look at Oregon, too, for a gorgeous place to live with non-drunks.
