Albuquerque Neighborhoods At a Crossroads -- Thomas Village

Tucked away in the near North Valley of Albuquerque, the Thomas Village neighborhood is the perfect blend of rural and urban. Although it is just minutes from the city's busy downtown, the bucolic neighborhood is also a gateway to the wonders of the Rio Grande bosque. This documentary traces the origins of Thomas Village from the family farm of Charles Mann -- where World War II German POWs once toiled -- to a subdivision built by a Don Quixote-obsessed developer, to a thriving and desirable community with an eclectic mix of professionals, politicians, academics and authors.
