    Thanks for a tour of a city where I was born, grew up and worked for 57 years; then to move away in 2009 to East Texas. The place has changed quite a lot since moving away. The only thing to remain the same is the colorful culture, the warm people who live there and the great food. The climate can’t be beat. Lots of history there; a gem of a city.

    Nice video man. El Paso gets alot of hate, but you can't beat the weather, good food, good people and the best hospitality..And hey...We may not be hip like Austin and we don't have a beautiful Riverwalk like San Antonio, but at least our power grid is reliable 😉.....

      Good food??? 🤣🤣🤣 there's a severe lack of good food .. nor variety.... if your taste buds are endless fast food or mediocre Mexican food and chicken wing joints on every street then el paso is for you. . Even the BBQ and steakhouses are a let down. And the sushi here..what a joke.. el paso is seriously slacking in the food scene.. people are nice tho..

      The mountains are beautiful, no where else can the Mexican food even come close to comparing, it is hot but there's no tornados, no hurricanes, no earthquakes, it can get cold at night being a desert, but the days are sunny, not rainy all the time, it's lovely. There's no place like it❤

Lovely landscapes, incredible food, a lot of sun! a great little baseball stadium and the downtown was recently renovated. Miss my trips there and hoping to get back down there very soon to see all the great friends I made down in the Sun City.

    You read my mind!! I’ve been wondering when you would come to El Paso!! I know you’re not a fan of Texas, Jeff (I won’t hold that against you 😉) I think it’s gorgeous. I live in San Antonio but would love to live in El Paso and be close to New Mexico and Arizona while enjoying the low cost of living and benefits of being a Texas resident. So, what are your thoughts on El Paso?

    • @IslandHopperTV
