Anybody from El Paso TX wanna comment?
Here is what I know so far:
Big metro area
Diverse population?
Heard on the news that some crime from Juarez may spill over in El Paso?
Housing is affordable compared to NOLA.
Should have quite a Spanish influence, which will be a change for me since I speak French, oh well still a latin language....
Now how is the music scene, bars etc? Also job markets stink everywhere right now but how is it in El Paso? |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado | | | I always liked the scenery - it's definitely more like NM and AZ than most of Texas. Any travel you do will probably be to New Mexico, as it's too darn far to anywhere in TX. Plenty of great Mexican food, and you can get different styles of it. I suspect that crime rate is somewhat high, so keep your eyes open and your doors locked.

You're closer to Albuquerque than you are to TX's big cities, if that means anything to you.

Aside from Ft. Bliss, there's also White Sands Missile Range which (as I recall) is around 50 miles from Ft. Bliss. There's also the Army hospital and a VA hospital.
Within Federal employment- there's working directly for DOD, AAFES, and the VA and the Veterans Canteen Service.

No not any more. The Taco Factory was shut down and moved to Mexico back in the 40's.
Those were the glory days of Old El Paso. Makes my taco pop!
