Albuquerque. Is that leaving behind what you wanted in LA? I presume so. I lived in Durango, CO for a while. They got the Albuquerque news.
Cheers! Pleased to "meet" you!

I wanted a change of scenery. Albuquerque was quiet compared to South Central LA. No helicopters flying 24/7. No crazy traffic. The trade off is that there's a very small Black population,but thanks to the internet,I can always connect with Black people all over the world. I watch LA news to keep up with everything.

Question is: VLA or Canyon?

LOLZ. I was born in LA. Married my wife in Vermont, ended up in Albuquerque (you can only spell that if you’ve lived there), and moved back to LA some years ago. I, too, hate MAGA to pieces :)

I only go back to LA to visit the graves. And to put roses at 1st & Cummings next to the 5 freeway to honor my family's Eastside roots. That's it. No need to move back. My brother joined me here in Albuquerque at the end of 2019. We're the only two family members left. And yes,I have ZERO fucks to give for Trump and MAGA.
