El Paso Overview | An informative introduction to El Paso, Texas 

Oddly one of my favorite cities in the world, I miss seeing that mountain from my home and Highschool everyday

I've always had a weird fascination with El Paso and I don't really even know why. I live in South Dakota and I've never been anywhere near Texas. I guess maybe it's because it tends to fly under the radar a little bit for a city of its size. Most people probably don't realize how large it actually is.

besides San Diego, El Paso is the most impressive southern border city in the USA. It's a very isolated city so it's often forgotten but it's actually an important outpost.

Born and raised in El Paso, Texas!!... What can I say, I love my City and I would never move away....God bless 🙏 ♥️🙏

I love my Sun City, otherwise known as Chucotown because it's the home of the Pachuco zoot suit. One other thing that I find fascinating is that we are home to the world's largest inland desalination plant, which makes sense since we are in a desert climate.

I moved away years ago. Since then, I’ve lived in 6 cities across the U.S. I miss it so much. It’s such a unique city with the nicest people ever. It’s also growing so much.

I am originally from El Paso going back to the early 60's One of the greatest aspects of El Paso is how friendly the people are here.

I love my suncity home town.Wonderful people, great food, and a beautiful place to live in.Most of all ,i miss my mountains and scenic drive!!

born & raised in el paso texas. I visit juarez monthly due to family residing there. pretty neat video

Wow! El Paso's History is cooler than I thought

El Paso is a beautiful city since I been to El Paso going to Los Angeles on Greyhound best trip ever when I was 14yrs old.

I recently bought 5 acres in the East El Paso desert, (not far from Hueco Tanks) probably retire there, can't wait!!!

Great job! Very fair review of my home town. Thanks for this great video!

I just moved here in August 2021, I really love the city, ppl are great, food is good, weather is nice. I still have more to explore but so far I really like it here.

I lived here for two years and really miss it.

I love how simple you keep these videos so that I can just get a quick overview of cities throughout the country

Thanks for the history. Cool!

Only been there once in 86 when I was 15 , but I recently purchased five acres of land in El Paso. (Near Hueco Tanks) probably retire there. Can't wait! Didn't know much about the city till recently, I've fallen in love with El Paso!

Thank you for your review of this city! Very informative.

I remember seeing lots of shacks on the Mexican side, on the left side looking down, driving through El Paso, blew my mind how close Mexico was to the city, also.

Awesome! El Paso is a cool city.

Very interesting...thanks!

Blessed be the Guardian Angel of El Paso, TX. The sun is shining on Christmas Eve.

Super interesting to learn that El Paso is such a safe city! I wouldn’t have thought that! Thanks for that overview!

Excellent video. I just started following you. I am very familiar with El Paso and the surrounding area. I was stationed at Holloman AFB for four years and spent a lot of time there and in Las Cruces.

I dont get why ppl say its ugly, tome it looks beautiful, the mountains and the downtown area, the views are beautiful. One of myfavorite places ,my degree is history focusing on the history and cultures of the southwest. I love that area

The best video of El Paso

i lived there over 6 years and loved it

Watching you from Las Cruces. Nice to hear you lived here at one point :)

The wife and I met while in college at UTEP. We are both from the Houston area. I agree, EP is actually a uniquely beautiful place. The Jaurez=dangerous/ep=safe thing is real. Juarez is different.

I have been thru El Paso several times hauling racing cars back & forth across the country. Now retired, this summer I got to for the first time set foot in down town. The bus I was riding to visit my daughter stopped to refuel & change driver. Had lunch in a small corner cafe where the food was good and the locals were friendly. Even the lone border agent at the bus station was helpful. I would love to go back sometime for a proper visit 😅

El Paso is beautiful

Hay I’m from las cruces. Now I live in Boise idaho. Thanks for your great reviews

My hometown

Pretty cool that you lived in Cruces. I live on the other side of the San Augustine pass in Alamogordo.

I love elpaso

My home town

The people in El Paso are good people.

Downtown Laredo is on the border and has the former capitol building of the less than a year long survived Republic of the Rio Grande. No major skyline though like El Paso

I thought El Paso was cool looks clean too

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio, and downtown is just a bridge across from Kentucky. They say we talk with a southern like accent. Down town is so close to Kentucky.. Just states, but still cool.

As close/maybe closer downtown in the US is Detroit to Windsor, Canada.

Hard to make in living in EP. Few job opportunities and low wages but somehow folks argue it’s a great place to live. I suppose they’re right if you lack ambition and prefer to live as humble as possible.

What are the safe neighborhoods to live in El Paso? Thinking about moving but need some guidance.

omg that sun is HUGE lol

Border towns where the downtown is close to the Mexican border : Laredo, Nogales, Brownsville.

You didn't really comment as to why you found El Paso charming, personally. What did you like about it?

They should do a River walk down town tbey have the resources.....city has a lot of potential. Hopefully they get there one day. Not a bad city... Not the greatest

Downtown Laredo is also on the border… but not as big as El Paso by any means

You left out El Paso Chihuahua baseball team (I think Division 1 affiliate to SD Padres)

El Paso - one of the safest cities in the US Juárez - most dangerous city in the WORLD Both cities are a mile apart separated by an international border with the differences highlighting the corruption, nepotism, and cronyism alive and well within the Mexican government.

How does El paso compare to Tucson for single people and things to do?

Albuquerque is larger than El Paso. It's mentioned that El Paso is the 2nd largest city in the S.W. Still a great city. My wife and I hope to move there soon.

Could have added a section on Biggs Army Airfield and its role in the old Strategic Air Command fighting the silent nuclear war for decades. Or modern day Fort Bliss. Also, your mom's not past her prime.

As a person born and raised in El Paso and spent most of his life in the city and worked as a LEO there, the stat on safest city is manipulated. But I will also say that the cartels want to keep it safer or have the illusion of being safer, as it is one of the largest ports for its many illegal activities. I do however like the facts you did present as an overview, a bit short and I feel a lot was missed. I missed the mountains and the views... the smell of the rain there, and so much more. I don't miss the lower wages, or the fact most jobs require or want employees who know Spanish and English, in that order, I also don't like how non-diverse the city is. I do miss the Food, the Best Mexican Food anywhere. I agree with many of the comments below. For me El Paso is far too Brown, and too land locked/secluded for me. It will forever be my home, and I will always hold fond memories of it, but I moved away for Greener pastures.

When I was young, I loved El Paso, it was beautiful, clean, and traffic was easy going, that was in the 70's even 80's. When we got into the 90's, it was growing but not so bad yet, but in the 2000, it grew way too much and became nothing but way too big and way too much traffic, now in 2022, the traffic is outrageous, and I wish I could move to a smaller less populated town. I never was a big city gal! 🤷🏼‍♀️ For those who want to see the older and prettier El Paso, watch THE 1983 movie "Lone Wolf McQuade", with Chuck Norris, it takes place in all areas of El Paso, and you'll see the beautiful parts, and how gorgeous we were in the older days before my city became too big, too overcrowded, and TOO MUCH TRAFFIC!!

A native American from Oklahoma told me that he didn't like El Paso because there was a lot of disrespectful people he said exactly the same thing as did and he was not from here he was from Oklahoma

God'$ COUNTRY!

Are you aware of any other football stadium surrounded by rocks like that?

could be wrong but i think laredo's downtown is closer to the Mexican border

A big city in the middle of nowhere.

Haha an Ugly city past it’s prime. Ouch!! El Paso is a great city thanks for the video! 👍😂

El Paso is not what many people think it is, and it might be safe to some. But there is plenty of gun violence nowadays as that is the way Greg Abbott legalize open carry. This video is using Old footage of El Paso, it don't show any of the latest developments. As El Paso has grown so has crime grown with it many mean nasty people now call El Paso home. I was born and raised here so I call the shots as I see them.

There is alot of drug addicts here in El Paso Texas

chuco 915 BIG BAD 18STREEET GANG

El Paso is practically a portion of Mexico in the USA mainland.

The downtown El Paso Texas is very poor not business.

Is it true you can’t get a job in EP if you don’t speak Spanish?

I plan on purchasing a home in the El Paso Area. Tired of the liberal mindset of California and the overpricing and high taxes.

I was born here in el paso texas I live my entire life here and I don't like El Paso Texas because there is alot of disrespectful people probably the city were there are the most rude people in the USA

Dusty, Windy, and Stinky city I've ever been, FYI, if you are black don't come here.

Tucson Arizona is better than El Paso

El Paso has overgrown landscape everywhere and homes have bars on their windows. People don't take care of their yards,, really sad.. architecture of the homes is pretty terrible overall. And the restaurants are pretty darn bad no matter what anyone says. Anyway...thats what I see here fyi.
