Reply #75: I was one of those "snobs" from Coronado. [View All]

At least that's the shit we would get from the kids on the East side. Didn't matter that we were the working-middle class kids going to school with doctors' & lawyers' kids who drove new Porsche's to school :eyes:.

Can't say I was crazy about that whole scene, but I did love the city as a whole. We spent many a night in the clubs in Juarez before we were 21. They say it's not safe to do that anymore.

I used to like hiking to Cottonwood Springs (another thing the "authorities" are now discouraging because it's technically on military land)



People invariably have a bad impression of El Paso when they drive through. I guess it looks shabby from I-10, but it grows on you, and I'd rather live there than just about anywhere in the desert Southwest. It's one of the cheapest places to buy a home, too. You couldn't pay me to live in a hellhole like Phoenix.
