El Paso - Texas - 4K Downtown Drive

[@landrytelfair445]

Working in finance opened my eyes to how big of a financial hub El Paso is. So many companies hold regional headquarters there. Most Vanguard 401(k) and IRA rollover checks go there

[@MM-ep2cp]

Beautiful!

[@andrewrosen9799]

Cleanest streets I have seen in any of your videos so far.

[@t-rkplayzgames6737]

I was born in El Paso, and I can definitely say that its been a very nice and memorable city my whole life, I live in the Northeast but I had visited Downtown many times, Very nice place, the Architecture is stunning and the way it looks is super fascinating, The way that El Paso in Downtown looks now and elsewhere has changed a lot since at least 2012, When I was younger the tallest building was Wells Fargo, the Old City hall was separate from the Court Building and Blue Flame wasn't renovated yet, A lot has changed. But either way for me it will always remain my home, Gives off that vibe of the "Big City" and a "Small Town" so it feels like you know a lot of people, Really amazing city.

I was also born in El Paso

[@TheBlackWrapperDude]

The only Texas city in the mountain time zone and a city with lots of diverse culture and lots to do not to mention their downtown is pretty nice

[@RayCamacho-m2e]

At 15:21, are those tv and radio antennas at the top of that mountain?

[@susanamelano853]

Yes they are. It is the Franklin mountains with a huge lighted star at night. Google it. Also, we have a scenic drive on the mountain taking us from central El Paso to the Westside of El Paso. There's a park up there where you can view the City of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico. Juarez has it's own mountain range. We are surrounded by mountains and protected from tornadoes. ❤

[@Animegamespublishing]

The streets here in el paso are very clean this city is big and the downtown area is very nice too.

[@georgemichael9106]

I grew up in El Paso in the 60’and 70’s my family owned three restaurants we knew everyone everybody knew us you just passed one location on mesa street the other one was right next to the Plaza theater i can’t remember the name of the street the third one was on but it was a great place to grow up if I had it to do over again I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@juliet2756]

Nice downtown you got there!!!

[@joyodrobina6893]

Lived in El paso most of my life. It looks like a ghost town now. Grew up on the west side. I went back last year and it's sad to see all of downtown still boarded up. 😢

[@lucathegamer9113]

Probably gonna be back or something

[@hh0686]

Earnest question…why do you think El Paso the growth of the city declined?

[@lucathegamer9113]

@hh0686 huh?

[@NoName-ky2sb]

​@@hh0686 the city grew in population from the 2008 Juarez violence and the Cali exodus. Trans mountain gets packed with cars now something that wouldn't happen 10 years ago but e-commerce has killed a lot of downtown shops, Chinese store owners relocated their stores online. It looks like the city is in decline but were just more compartmentalized than ever lol aka people stay in their homes more etc etc the city pushed for a downtown revamp w the san jacinto plaza but like I said brick and mortar has been dying. city need to push business incentives for restaurants or venues in downtown.

[@Unxnown1]

I live here now, and actually, the video passed by my building twice 😊. I know for a fact that the CVS at Texas and Mesa closed due to crime (I talked to some people right before it closed who would 100% know). Fallas closed due to lack of customers. But a new indoor "mall" type building is currently being built inside that historic building between Texas and that alligator park downtown. I don't remember the building name, but renovation is supposed to be finished in May 2025, but looking at it, I doubt it will make that timeline. But when it's finished, maybe it will help rejuvenate the area.

[@WalksandSuch]

El Paso is such a cool and unique city. I almost moved there but it was too far from family

[@trevorjameson3213]

It's nice but it's too far from Anywhere! Very remote city out there. I've lived in Dallas my whole life and never even been there it's so far away. It's farther than driving from Dallas to my cousin's house in Colorado. Also it's farther west than than their house in Colorado. Weird to think about that, how big Texas is.

[@WalksandSuch]

@@trevorjameson3213 yes ive only driven through a couple times but never stayed there. it has low cost of living but not the best job market, you can get really cheap nice houses there though. the mountains are beautiful but there's not a lot of green or water immediately nearby

[@MISSUNIVERSE1830]

Are the green little train trolleys are still in use?

[@punkstarvamp]

yes they are, you can catch a ride.

[@MISSUNIVERSE1830]

@punkstarvamp thank you ... i wish to go on one again : ( ... i miss El Paso

[@punkstarvamp]

@@MISSUNIVERSE1830 el paso misses you as well! stay safe! come visit sometime :)

[@lucathegamer9113]

The what?

[@punkstarvamp]

@@lucathegamer9113 the trolleys or streetcars

[@georgehenderson7783]

5:42 Just a couple of blocks from Mexico, which is a completely different world, for now.

[@rjmcallister1888]

Like many center cities, it's starting to make a comeback, but still has some ways to go. There are many empty storefronts; a remnant of what downtown used to be, but some are getting new tenants.

[@gplunk]

Some interesting looking structures; and relatively diverse architectural styles. I imagine you can find some very good Tex-Mex cuisine in the area....

[@leticiavasquezvillegas4802]

More than Tex Mex plenty of authentic Mexican food! It is different to Tex Mex. I Love my City. Only down is we don’t much rain but windy days! But I’ll take it instead of hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. lol ❤

[@gplunk]

I'm frankly still trying to discern the differences between the two; but I do realize there are many different styles of regional mexican cuisine, it's not all beans, rice, and cheese....

[@skaileep]

why are there so few green spaces

[@KennyNash-sb9sh]

El Paso is a beautiful city with amazing people & spiritual culture!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@donavanjohnson409]

Nice tour of El Paso TX

[@thomasfranco5997]

OMG! I do not see any homeless people on the street in Downtown not like in Los Angeles Ca. and Phoenix, Az. El Paso is so clean.

[@Tinotells]

I live in El Paso

[@AlienlikescookiesRailFan2024]

When you be going to Dallas Mike

[@lucathegamer9113]

He did

[@Daniel-mt3rw]

There is alot of people that no longer serve you here in El Paso

[@DeeJiminez]

Does anyone have old pictures of the piggy bank gas stations ⛽

[@frank-qf9pm]

9:30 Jerk!

[@trevorjameson3213]

Saw that too!

[@LyricsSings-t2s]

Is that SUV in a hurry to get somewhere?

[@adams8132]

El Paso…one of the most drab and depressing towns on the barren Texas prairie. A real Texas hick town.

[@Nenucopelon17]

Para el mexicano es pura chamba aya en usa 🇺🇸

[@regentmad1037]

good lord what an ugly city i live in sigh

[@michaelstevens8401]

No penas, ni sabes lo que estas diciendo

[@michaelstevens8401]

There's nothing to do in El Paso, but you can see all the illegal immigrants.

[@t-rkplayzgames6737]

Thats mainly in Downtown, Elsewhere you don't see often.

[@hh0686]

You work, eat, sleep, sounds like a lot to do already to me

[@irisb7205]

El Paso is a very clean city even in the less progressive part of town . The streets are free of trash and garbage. The small side streets are decent , clean and NO GRAFFITI.
