I've lived in Clinton, NC for 3 years now and agree with you 100%. I would go so far as to say the people here are 'cordial', but not friendly or wiling to make friends with an 'outsider' even if I'm not a northerner.
I read this thread because we are thinking of moving to ABQ. I'd have to get a job first so it won't be anytime soon.
We've visited NM and ABQ several times and always found the people very friendly and outgoing. And I'm not only speaking of the hotel staff or restaurant wait staff. The folks we stopped and ask directions of, the gas stations workers, the people we chatted with in the bars were all easy going, nice people who wanted to tell us all about the area. We really liked ABQ.
Sooo, anybody know of any job openings in the computer field?
I'm a damn good data systems analyst/project manager/report writer.
I've lived here in ABQ for almost 5 years now and have only met and chatted with 1 neighbor in all those years and I have lived in several different places since I have been here, people keep to themselves here too and are not that interested in making new friends, not that I want new friends, but you get what Im saying.
I have lived in my current apartment complex for almost 2 years now and and I rarely see a neighbor and when I do they dont say hi and I dont either, the only time I had an interaction with a neighbor was when I banged on the celing for them to stop making noise and then they showed up at my door asking me not to call the cops cause they were obviously underage and I was pissed.
my whole life growing up in a small town we never interacted as neighbors, us kids would hang out but the adults in the area never talked to each other, maybe its not just a Southern thing but a normal everday thing.

I didn't talk to my neighbors for a few years after I moved into my house. Then I decided to just say Hi and I've made some good friends and people to watch my house when I'm gone. You can't always wait for someone else to make the first move.

you are correct, I was just trying to make a point that its like that here too and not just in the South.
Hmmm, I have never met a "down to earth" person who judged others.
I consider myself to be down to earth, what you see is what you get. Don't like me, well that is fine. You don't have to. I am not into material things, could care less if my next door neighbor makes $20k or 200k a year.
BTW honey, you'll be a "old person" one day.
You know what makes me unhappy about Albuquerque? Certain recurring posters on City-data with such absurdly narrow definitions as to what life should be, that they can't help but be miserable no matter where they live and feel that the only release for that sad condition is to berate others for feeling differently.

good one , all of the wannabe New Mexicans on this board are the first ones to attack someone who dosent share the same views.
I wonder where the Mattress stores should be moved to?
to another strip mall
mattress stores and strip malls go hand in hand, too bad strip clubs arnt based in strip malls, then I could purchase a mattress, eat at Subway, get a haircut then hit up the strip club.
