Albuquerque in top 5 for building wealth

AP neswire has a story that indicates that Albuquerque is 5th in the nation for pay.

The compensation experts at Salary.com uncovered the top US cities for building personal net worth by taking into account local salaries, cost of living and unemployment relative to the national average.

The other 4 cities include:
1. Plano, TX
2. Aurora, CO
3. Omaha, NB
4. Minneapolis, MN

Does this look familiar?

Wired Magazine has an article on the upcoming Terminator moved which has been filming in Albuquerque during the last year.

As New Mexico continues to beef up its filming resume, I remain amazed at how many buildings I recognize in various movies. Take this photo for example:

Although the photo shows a post apocalyptic scene of destruction (remember Terminator is the movie where the robots take over the earth and hunt down the humans), most Albuquerqean’s would know this building as the old rail yard (also featured in the Transformers movie).
