Even though I moved away from El Paso almost 35 years ago, the sight of the mountain on such a spectacularly clear day in the late afternoon sun brought back a host of great memories. Growing up on the west side in the mid 60's lent itself to numerous adventures in the unspoiled desert literally down the street from our family home. Nothing like the smell of the desert after a summer rain, or the harvest moon rising over the Franklins...I digress. Thank you so much for providing such a great drive down memory lane!

I used to live in El Paso and sure is good to see my old home town again. I'm thinking really hard about moving back to it very soon. Thank you for doing this video, it's refreshing to see it again.

I visited from Brooklyn New York a few months ago. The Walgreens in Brooklyn has locks on the freezer door with the ice cream inside. Coded bathrooms and aggressive drivers everywhere. I loved El Paso I even went into Juarez to visit a friend's family and went out to dinner. The pace in El Paso for me was slowwww. I felt no stress, just really relaxed. If anything, I was the one who stood out because I was still in NYC mode. Now I am looking to buy a home there. 55 years in NYC makes most other places feel relaxed. About the only thing I did miss from New York was the availability of a variety of excellent quality food from all over the world. There were some great restaurants in El Paso but the density and diversity of NYC is hard to beat when it comes to availability, variety, and quality of restaurants. I can always go back, I will keep my home in Brooklyn.

They make you have a code to use the bathroom because of homeless people. Anyways, that's what I was told.

I spent 4 years in El Paso as a child, my dad was a german soldier at Fort Bliss. We lived on Marble Drive back in the day, and after more than 45 years I remember El Paso as an important part of my life. As much as I’m just another german, there’s a huge part of Texas in my heart.

Streetcar sighting about 20 minutes in! I live here right off Mesa and head towards downtown often and I haven’t seen a streetcar in years! Good job!

I’m thinking on moving to El Paso. I prefer the slower life style and would prefer there be less things to do and safer vs more things and dangerous. Currently living in Tennessee but I come from the West Coast. Thanks for sharing this video and talking about experiences.

Thank you for making this video and posting it. I've lived here all of my life and I'm so grateful that God put me here to live my life. It is true and obvious that cities like San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston have higher levels of wealth and more forms of entertainment because of that wealth, El Paso is a solid place live in. Fox News and even CNN have always reported on us and made us look bad without actually setting foot in the city. When you give the city of El Paso a genuine chance to impress you and see what it has to offer, you'll be pleasantly surprised. When you come back, I hope you make a video going to visit the areas by the El Paso Country Club and Coronado Country Club, you were actually pretty close to both because they're both on the West Side. Those are some very nice neighborhoods in El Paso and most out of towners say, "I would've never thought El Paso had neighborhoods that look this nice." Wishing the both of you more safe travels and finding more hidden gems in other cities.

Heading to the Grand Canyon, we stayed in El Paso one day. Nice hotel room and everybody friendly. Beautiful scenic areas along the highway too.

North mesa was pretty much my daily route for anything, I loved living around there and also in artcraft, so many good places to eat and do, it's only been 4 years since I've been there, but I miss it

Your literally no where near the Zaragoza bridge or Alemeda where all these people are all over the streets . Go toward speaking Rock Casino and drive down Alemeda and you’ll see tons of immigrants. My cousin just took a bunch of money and clothes for the homeless immigrants and they surrounded his suv and started trying to open the doors and drag him and his kids out the car he had to drive off as soon as there was a clearing because the minute they saw money in his hand they went nuts . Not a joke and yes it’s that bad .
