In May, we reported that several job listings had appeared on Monster.com for positions in an Apple Retail Store slated for the ABQ Uptown “shopping destination” that’s under development in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (Note: “ABQ” is the code for the city’s airport and also a colloquialism for the city.) Albuquerque straddles the Rio Grande and is the largest city in the state of New Mexico. The city proper had a total population of 448,607 (as of the 2000 census) and metropolitan area has a population of approximately 715,000 and includes the city of Rio Rancho, the third-largest and fastest-growing city in New Mexico and one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.
Apple currently does not have any retail stores in the state of New Mexico, but they will soon. And ABQ Uptown PDF clearly shows an Apple Computer, Inc. logo for an upcoming store (middle building, on the east row of stores) here.
Look for Apple to celebrate the store’s grand opening on or around November 4th.

I always seem to take a wrong left turn at Albuquerque.
And first post, but frankly I couldn’t care less.
I had sex in a rental car parked in an alley in Albuquerque. Nice town.
Santa Fe, The City Different, shouldn’t have to wait that long now. A Mecca for artists, musicians and creatives of all kinds.

Ahhhh, can’t wait. That’s about a 5 minute drive from my house!
I spent a week in Albuquerque one night.
At last. Now we won’t have to put up with CompUSA for our Mac needs. Plus it will give me somewhere to go while the GF is in J.Jill and Coldwater Creek and Chico’s and BCBG and all the rest…
I had sex with a rental car parked in an alley in Albuquerque. Yes, nice town. Nicer rental cars. Quite plush.
eh Actually, I was on my way to Pismo beach when I made that turn
Oh yeah? Well I had sex with an alley in a rental car in Albuquerque. Great town. Great Hasenpheffer.
Sweet!! I’ll pick up my Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro there on Nov 4th and have dinner across the street at Pei Wei!
You can thank me for getting the Apple Store here in Albuquerque, because I was the one that e-mailed Steve Jobs and asked him to bring it here. We need it IMHO.
This will be handy for Los Alamos National Lab & Sandia Labs, etc. to pick up a few hundred Mac Pros at a whack for various supercomputing projects. You should see the stock room behind that store….
Rio Rancho growing way too damn fast – and it’s all due to Intel.
tell all your friends who want to move to the southwest – arizona, utah, nevada and colorado are all way better places to live than new mexico. things are just terrible here.
Jooop, was that you?
In Colorado & New Mexico-
1- A New Yorker headed east with a Texan under each arm.
2- A Californian headed west with a Texan under each arm.
3- A Texan headed anywhere else with a Texan under each arm.
4- All of the above.
The correct answer is #4
Happiness is replaced with euphoria if they are from Houston or Dallas/Ft Worth.
To ABQ Peter:
Yeah, let’s all move to Las Vegas, the number one crime-infested city. Let’s also move to Phoenix, land of blistering heat.

I don’t think so… I like it in Albuquerque – it is quiet and the crime rate is quite low. The only other place I would ocnsider moving is Colorado.
Crap. Now I’m wondering if Jooop is a rental car. Still good times.
Please don’t come to Colorado. We’re out of space and we only have 3 Apple Stores to serve all of us!

ABQ Peter,
Just curious, what are you talking about specifically? I’m not in love with ABQ either, but just wondering what types of things you’re referring to?
Look on the bright side, we have an Apple Store coming!
Colorado & New Mexico are full of wannabes from Texas and, yes, they are still full of sh*t about Texas. That’s the funny thing, everywhere you go there are turds running their mouths about Texas. if it’s so great what are you doing trying to leave.
I can’t wait until Dubya goes back. Maybe we can build a fence around his ranch and sterilize his kids so we don’t ever have his kind again.
ABQ Peter’s got it right. It’s bad here, real bad. You guys better just stay the hell away.
The post is good both in regards of knowledge and general awareness. Thanks for the post.
You’re really thankful for this post, I’ve been really enjoying checking up your posts from time to time. Looking forward to see your future posts !!
