The "House Of Sugar" is flipping fantastic!! 😁 Especially love the iron wrought entrance gate and how it's been embellished with flowers and religious symbols!! Just a total labor of love and I'm sure he gave much thought and consideration to the creative process while at working his shift at the Levi factory. It definitely looks like art that would inspire other artists like Tim Burton too!! 😊 Downtown El Paso is a beautiful city! Think replacing the live alligators with an alligator sculpture was a wise move! And it's a fantastic sculpture for real! Your roadhouse dinner looks real tasty Jordan!! lol Folks gettin' a little rowdy too with the mechanical saddle riding!! good times!! 😁

[@yolandadelazerda207]

OH Yeah!! So Glad your in my Home State of Texas!! I've never had the chance to explore El Paso so thanks for taking us!! Hope ya get down to my hometown of San Antonio sometime! Can't wait to see more of El Paso!!

[@debbieclark7031]

Loved the House of Sugar. Repurposing of material and his wonderful creativity .El Paso looks like a great place to visit.

[@janadeubner9883]

The Sugar House was beautiful! Such a happy place! Alligators in the center of town? Alrighty then! Can't wait to see what you will show us tomorrow! Great vlog!

[@denis65]

I've been to El Paso many times and never seen any of those places! I need to explore more, evidently

[@J.T-West]

House of sugar is so very sweet! Alot of work and dedication went into that, god bless him.

[@jan6626]

The detail in the house of Sugar....WOW! Great video Jordan, can't wait to see what you have in store for tomorrow.

[@helenamountford9234]

Loving El Paso! What an interesting and friendly city. Looking forward to more TX vlogs and to seeing your merchandise ideas.

[@debbiemoeller2169]

Love Texas Roadhouse. Great food. Sugar house was incredible!!!! That had to be time consuming. Fantastic!!! Much love to you and Jah 👍❤

[@pamelakern2849]

I would say The House of Sugar is pure eye candy. An amazing attention to detail. El Paso is going to be fun. 🐎🐂

[@jackiebratcher2997]

Wow I used to live in El Paso I lived on Dyer street! I used to go up to Trans mountain and have picnics!

[@Gang155]

That house is unbelievable! As usual, I’m fascinated by such talent. What a great city! I would love to visit Texas someday. Selfishly, I hope you try that burger because I’m curious. I can’t wait to see the new merch!

[@joestocking]

Liked when you whistled in the beginning. LOL

[@mynameisvna]

Welcome to Texas!!! Love the house of sugar!! So much beautiful detail. The alligator statues were cool too!! And yes you must try a Whataburger!!

[@dazzlingchick]

💋So early this time. Hi Jordan and Jah. Great vlog as always. I am a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan. So just seeing her name in the title makes me happy lol. Continued blessings my friend. Love and Light 💖Carli

[@esthergarcia1373]

Great vlog of the Sugar House and that alligator fountain. Glad the gators are gone. Perfect recipe for disaster. Orlando was very gracious in showing you around town. Nice vlog to get to know El Paso better since a few childhood friends of ours from California came from El Paso Tx. Very sweet and humble friends to this day. Thanks Jordan for taking the time to take us there. ❤️🙏🏻

[@debbieclark7031]

My internet has been wonky I finally get to catch up. Wow The House of Sugar is pure eye candy. Just amazing the details. What a great idea to put up the beautiful status instead the Gator pond.

[@scottieburnett5606]

I am just blown away! Bravo to Rufino Loya Rivas for all the amazing detail on The House of Sugar. What a great tribute to El Paso and a wonderful treat for us Lionhearts! 🦁🌹🦁

[@beverlyweeden9759]

That house is amazing ..!!..so much talent..too bad you weren't able to talk to him..looks like a very historical city..thanx for going here..

[@maulerism]

Awesome vlog, thanks Jordan. LMAO on the line, "I wonder whose brilliant idea that was to have a pond full of alligators, I wonder if there were any problems, Hahaha!

[@weswaters3569]

I live just 2 hours away from El paso in carlsbad, New Mexico. Lion you should come to the Carlsbad Caverns, you'll love it. It's a true wonder of the USA if not the Americas. Look it up , Carlsbad also has the only river that crosses itself in the USA. Lots of awsome historical destinations here in NM plus the filming locations from BREAKING BAD in Albuquerque NM. I really hope to see a vlog from my neck of the woods.

[@sandyfatland3141]

The sugar house was awesome. I love how you appreciate and share the fruits of individual's creative passion projects. Looking forward to seeing the new merch ideas.

[@Ashley-kd2su]

Great vlog!! 💙

[@jeanmetzger9359]

Great vlog, I hope you are having fun in El Paso.

[@karentarr8930]

Cool gators 🐊, Sugar house was beautiful 😎

[@henrygonzalez504]

I am usually not drawn to locations like this because they are so sloppily done, but the attention to detail, and the neatness Mr. Rafino, I think that was the name you gave us, exhibites is extraordinary. What an artist! Just the fact that he keeps it up so well, doesn't look 20 years old. Feel sorry for the Alligator's that used to be in the park. Didn't look like there was enough water to keep them happy. Glad they're gone. Thanks. Looking forward to the rest of your visit.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

The House of Sugar is absolutely amazing!

[@anitabergner32]

Very interesting story about The Sugar House, thanks for sharing.

[@chrissmith2793]

The owner of the house worked at Levi Strauss sewing pockets into denim jeans. Loved seeing parts of El Paso I haven't seen.

[@BlackStorm555]

Great vlog. Sugar house and alligator fountain, cool. Safe travels.

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

What a talented man. He sure did put his talent to good use. Thank you for sharing.

[@suepoch3931]

Sugar house is so cool, you can’t help but be happy and smile! Have fun on your trip! TFS 👍🤗

[@patbowman6723]

Great footage from the plane. I love the sugar house. thanks for taking us along

[@michelleeaton7955]

Congratulations on the new merchandise!!! You deserve it, you bring so much to all of us. I will try to support you by buying something, right now things are very tight. But I will try very hard, I'll think what I can cut out for a short time 😊😊. That house was unique, to say the least. To each his own, that guy was dedicated. Great vlog as usual, and thanks for sharing. Safe travels 😊😊😊😊.

[@krchene]

I absolutely love the music, however your Jah has stolen my heart. I love all your videos keep rocking Jordon.

[@nancyhopple8138]

El Paso looks really cool. Maybe I should put in on my bucket list. Have fun and play safe !

[@katherinejohnson7179]

I loved all of it, especially the sugar house. Ty for the upload. Have fun Jordan.

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

What amazing house of sugar so much detail the guy really out dine himself loved it. Your dinner looked so good. Can't wait to see your new merchandise and what you have coming up for us Lionhearts to see...

[@mariaday712]

The House of Sugar is just amazing. A lot of work done there. Love the wall mural and the Alligator fountain. I'm curious to see what Orlando has designed for you. Thank you for bringing us along. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow.

[@DawnMssss]

Awesome vlog, My dad used to live in El Paso when he was a teenager when my grandpa worked at the White Sands Missile base back in the 60's! The house of sugar was interesting!

[@racheldelgado5646]

Yay!!! Made it to Texas. I remember Orlando.

[@edvas625]

I live here in El Paso,I used to live one block away from the Sugar House.I remember the real alligators, the city buses would park all around that park for people to board, they got rid of the alligators because they would get sick because people would feed them food and trash

[@cindazoo]

El Paso is a different place, its half US half Mexico, Beto O'Rourke's home town. The Sugar House is amazing, this is something we've seen all over the US, we have 2 in Houston, ones called the Orange Show, the other the beer can house, what some do in retirement. YES ! get a Whataburger, let us know how it stacks up to In and Out. Have a great time, its a very interesting place to vlog, thanks for taking us with you !

[@zipshed]

What an incredable place...the House of Sugar is amazing! I love to see things like that...such wonderful beauty that one man decided to share through his talents and imagination with the world!!! I just wonder what its all made of. Is it like molded cement or?? Cool vlog Jordan!

[@donnicholas7552]

Enjoyed the video! The House Of Sugar was awesome!

[@3greenpenns]

Welcome to Texas!!! Hope you have a great time.

[@sallylouise9826]

[@kstewskis]

If you do get a chance to see Rufino please tell him "Via con Dios" from us who love his house!

[@MissyGirdy]

What an amazing house. It is absolutely gorgeous.. safe travels Jordan 🇦🇺🦁💜

[@margaretgurry4909]

Jah would have loved the window seat on the plane.

[@jhanes3791]

That house is beautiful and what a labor of love for the artist. Very talented man. I'd love to get ahold of the flower and leaf molds and make some garden art. Beautiful.

[@wadeslugoski4790]

Hi Jordan ! I went through umpteen items on google and found one that stated the home owner actually sewed pockets into jeans at the now closed Levi Strauss factory.

[@debbiem9218]

Hi Jordan, love the aerial views you take us on-feels like we are right beside you. Love the Sugar House and the Boxing Hall of Fame painted on the side of the hotel has indeed, stood the test of time. The alligator park was an interesting concept, can't imagine why they got rid of it!! I hope you're able to get some neat merchandise ideas in El Paso-good night Jordan!

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

WOW Jordan!! That house of Sugar is truely AMAZING! I'm suprised that it only took 20 years to do with that amount of detail involved. I liked that bag you had hanging up in your apartment which says GET S**T DONE, funny! How strange to have had an Alligator Park JUST LIKE THAT!! I'd like to see them try that now with all the Health & Safety issues. Another great vlog Jordan, I can't wait for tomorrow's.

[@marypozzi5297]

That Sugar house was so Beautiful luv luv luv it

[@stephaniecarr3993]

[@celestine811]

WOW what a house ! enjoy your trip Jordan :-)

[@jomama5186]

You're the best !!!

[@danagomez9091]

So glad you’ve come by my neck of the woods!! I have recently been watching all your videos and when I saw you had made one where I live I just couldn’t pass it up!! I pass by this house all the time and I live in that general area. I’ve always wondered about this house since I was small. As for the alligators in the plaza my mother said that they had to remove them after drunks would throw bottles at them and just abuse them. A couple of them may have died unfortunately. I do believe they were still around when my mother was a toddler. Don’t understand why they had live gators there in the first place...anyway! Thank you so much for your videos! Love them!!

[@gregchervenak2602]

The mural with all the boxers is at the Desoto Hotel it was on Ghost Adventures just in case you wanted to know or find out more about it

[@rev.jennyosorio7003]

Loved The Sugar House. I was hoping he would come outside and talk to you. I have so many questions for him. Safe travels! Peace to you

[@richardburton5278]

I can't believe this I was watching your vlog on you visiting an old Woolworths and you missed the cutoff of y'all ordering a Hamburger and since I'm I'm Houston I go to Whataburger all the time yummy and watched a Whataburger video of hamburger s then go back to your vlog and your going to ElPaso Texas and you say you wanna try Whataburger lol!!! Were just now getting a In and Out Burger joint I can't wait to try. Shake Shack there building right now next to my Drs office! Funny! Thanks Jordan

[@tinathyberg7322]

This house is neat.the whole vlog was cool.😉✨✨

[@lauriealexander5857]

Keep up the awesomeness that is you.❤❤❤❤

[@kimpica9025]

Love all your Vlogs and how you feed my adventurous spirit, Jordan. Come to North Carolina sometime and experience some southern food and awesome hospitality. You might even want to stay awhile. Keep up the good work!

[@rosannabedoya7668]

I’ve been following you a little over a 1 1/2 yrs. and, I just recently discovered your vlogs when you were in EP. I really appreciate all the kind words and comments you had to say about my city! BTW, my brother’s friend (since elementary) grew up in the sugar house. I had to send him the link to this video. There are so many more things I think you could vlog about if you return to EP. Sharon Tate lived in EP and attended Irvin HS (she lived on Roanoke St) which is not too far from the “sugar house”. Debbie Reynolds was born in EP. Maybe you already knew this. I really hope you return to EP! If you do, you need to hit up Cattlemen’s Steakhouse! Take care Jordan!😊

[@janicelee6204]

Thank you!

[@melissawinstead8701]

Love the house of sugar!

[@ThatJediKnight]

I'm in El paso!! We should meet up if you are still in town! You should vlog about Tony Lama, the building where he started making boots is still downtown. That is awesome that your merch is gonna be made in El paso!! Oh, and our old school updated trolleys start working tomorrow (I think) for the first time in years, you should definitely vlog that.

[@robin5380]

Looks like the queen of hearts court yard

[@timetogodoug]

Morning Jordan, have a great day!

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Love the sugar house

[@jasonreese4573]

Great video! I recently bought 5 acres of land in El Paso! Gonna move there one day! If you ever go back you can crash at my place! Yee-Haw!

[@hawbydawg]

Welcome to Texas!

[@TheMartinick]

Love to see some more US travel!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

After i explore more EUROPE

[@beckyleisure]

My ears popping again lol!

[@deniseconaway701]

I wonder if the inside of the House of Sugar was as ornate as the outside, love the unusual and this deffinatly was unusual, eye catching, not somewhere you would miss Thankyou Jordan, goooodbye 😀 x

[@darylturcott]

I can't imagine how much time that took.

[@sandranokes7443]

I wonder how long it took the man to do that house! I'll have to look it up now. And the photos of the alligators, those where some huge huge huge alligators!

[@rebeccajskilling]

Just had to add Yeehaw I live in Texas also!

[@artiehernandez2863]

Hi Jordan I live 40 miles away watch you everyday are you going to Debbie Reynolds home I was told it still exist keep up the the good work you make my every day enjoy your whataburger

[@oldgamer9831]

I just had to tell you Jordan how much I enjoy watching your videos they are so informative and such a joy to watch I noticed your knowledge of a lot of the older movies and I thought of a couple of old African American movie stars that slip through the cracks of Fame and never got the notoriety that they deserve and all of them passed away in the Los Angeles California area I'll put a link at the bottom and you can check it out and see if you might be interested in doing a vlog or doing some research on them I think you would do a great job .
