It may not be Dallas or San Diego, or Austin, but El Paso is a decent city. What does it have going for it?
*It is consistently one of the top three safest cities in the the U.S. *It is a BIG city with a small town feel; if you think this is a hick town, you are highly misinformed
*We have some ways to go in higher education, but we are making ...
I've grown up here all my life and although comfortable and "cheap" it is here it is mentally draining. I'm 22 years old and the traditional way of living here whether intentionally or mistake is to get pregnant from the ages 16-20 and popping a few kids, having several "baby daddies", living off welfare/child support ...

Good and Bad

Well like every city it has its flaws. Nothing much do do in El Paso but go eat out and go to the movies. Some people are nice here and some are not, just like every other city. Many people don't know how to drive in El Paso but mainly the people from Cd. Juarez are people that tend to be the ones that make it a bad experience when driving ...
I miss "El Chuco" specially chicos tacos man! I wish could go back soon to enjoy the fun I use to have in this awsome city. I regret moving to Phoenix, its nice and all but it's not even close to what El Paso is. Now you wanna talk about violent city?Phoenix is so bad, but El Paso is just right and don't have to worry about getting shot when you go out to the clubs!

Don't Live Here

The major work opportunity is joining the border patrol. That's right, the hot job here is keeping other people out. Its that kind of thinking that makes El Paso a third rate city. Stay classy, El Paso.

El Paso Texas, land of yesterday
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/30/07
El Paso is a place that is isolated from the rest of the United States: four hour drive from the big cities of Lubbock, Chihuahua and Albuquerque. Wow, now that is alone out there with no big brother telling you to vote this way or think that way. Yeah, no one speaks perfect English or perfect Spanish but everyone understands that respect is ...

I love El Paso
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/30/07
I love El Paso I've lived here all my life and i would never move. The people are very friendly and the mexican food is great. Yes at times there is nothing to do besides going to movies or bowling and going to Juarez is old. It would be nicer if El Paso did have more entertainment parks. I plan to stayb in El Paso and raise my children here.

Dont bother
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/16/07
Ive lived here for 5 years, and I can say that El Paso is a brain drain city. Most people here are not educated beyond high school. The mimimum wage here is still $5.25 and there are not any decent jobs avalible unless you are Hispanic or Mexican. It doesnt matter what you know its who you know. I plan to leave as soon as I finish college. El Paso ...
