    The proper name of the sculpture is "Cruising San Mateo I." It is the first in a series of 3 installations that were collectively called "Cruising San Mateo." "Cruising San Mateo II" is located a short distance from this one, but "Cruising San Mateo III," which was located about a half mile away, was dismantled after repeated vandalism.

    No longer open, which is a shame, it was really conveniently located. They tore down or gutted the old building and are building something new in its place.

    No longer open, last I saw it was a Mexican food restaurant now. They opened a new restaurant up by Ta Lin market called Genkai, which is about the same menu and also delicious.

    I swam there 1980 until it closed. Loved Andy Bischell big time when I was a seriously crushed-out preteen.
  • Hollywood Video, Guest (guest) wrote 9 years ago:
    Hollywood Video had the whole building when it first opened. It was decided to make the store smaller when it was re-opened. I flew in and opened the store originally and flew back to re-open after the murders.

  • Albuquerque Academy, Will Root wrote 10 years ago:
    I graduated from Albuquerque Academy and what you say just isn't true. The school was originally funded by a massive land grant from the Simms family about a mile wide stretching from the Rio Grande River to the Sandia Mountains Crest. The areas around it were never lower income areas being demolished for new subdivisions, it was vacant land owned by the school that they sold off to build the school and its endowment. The land around the school was largely retained to preserve some nature that they lost when they went from being a school out in the middle of the desert to one enveloped by the city. It now serves as an important part of the ecosystem harboring a number of animal species including coyotes and contains the only unpaved arroyo in the city allowing water to drain back into the aquifer. As far as the rich snobbishness that people seem to perceive this school having, while I agree it can give off that appearance, it in fact has the most diverse (though still admittedly largely white) student body in the state and provides close to half the school's students significant financial aid (that is funded by the sale of the rest of their land). Would you prefer they had not sold their land and not been able to open their doors to lower income families and controlled half the city's land in an isolated rich school out in the desert? Or would you rather they sold the last of their land and destroyed the beautiful oasis of nature in the middle of the city while surrounding themselves with more shopping centers and subdivisions? I think they made the right call.
