I had always been curious about El Paso for some reason so I enjoyed this thread, thanks.

How far is downtown from the border?

Thanks!

Downtown El Paso is literally 4 blocks from the border if one considers areas just to the south as not being downtown.

I've only been through El Paso once on a Greyhound bus 35 years ago, so thanks for the free tour. With your avatar of Kier Dullea in 2001: A Space Odyssey, you must be as big a sci-fi fan as me. Oh, and I thought Daryl Hannah was hotter as the replicant Pris in Blade Runner than Sean Young as Rachel.

Daryl Hannah was not only hotter, but saner than the woeful sean Young!

Hey dp and all other contributors thanks for the thread.

Despite my location Im nowhere near El Paso. I just visited the city for the first time in summer and fell in love with the place. Ive got no idea why exactly, to me it just seemed like a real neat city. The photos have brought back many memories.

Unfortunately I have to admit Ive never even spent a night in El Paso. Well, I wouldnt count a couple nights in a motel in the suburbs across in NM at the base of themountain or a night in Cd. Juarez as strictly El Paso.

Either way its a town I really look forward to going back to.

Thanks!

El Paso is unique in so many ways and growing like a desert weed after a sudden downpour!

Great updates! I love those Streetcars. They should bring them back, assuming of course they aren't still in use.
