I was reading an article about El Paso calling it the world's sweatiest city. As someone who has been there I have to say they are correct. It's that and more. I'd call it the dirtiest city as well - for some reason being close to mexico brings dirt in, I call it mexican dirt. It tends to cover cars and when it rains and turns everything into mud. They kinda stopped short of calling it the worlds stinkiest city but I think we all can figure that one out. This whole thread leads me to one conclusion - Why on earth would anyone want to live there? I know this girl who went to Texas Tech with me and she was from there and actually moved back! I couldn't find any sane reason for doing so. There is a mountain an hour away. Maybe its the location to the mountain? There is also colorful graffiti covering the whole town. Apparently a rite of passage when someone comes from Mexico into the US is to write your name or gang's name in big letters on all the buildings and roadways. That way we all know who is living in the town. Maybe it's a sign of ownership, kinda like when we went to the moon and put a flag on it. You know, this is Jose's bridge - see he put his name on it.
