What is El Paso is an absurd question. "Who is El Paso?" is the real question. We, the people of El Paso. El Paso is what we make it. Don't give people a reason to trash talk our city by being only the best you can be. Ask not what El Paso can do for you, but what you can do for El Paso. Stop being selfish and greedy and think about what legacy you shall leave for your grand city. You can be a traitor or a patriot. The choice is simple if you ask me. Take pride in where you were born even if it's not perfect. Have enough pride to correct its flaws. Stop littering, stop throwing gum on the sidewalk, let people over on the freeway, stop smoking, and stop getting drunk every weekend and do something to make our city whole again. It doesn't matter if El Paso's problems are "not your fault". It is your responsibility as a human being to leave the world a better place than you found it. Otherwise, you're nothing but a parasite. You people make me sick. What will you tell your children? That you run from the world's problems rather than confront them? You are not a patriot...you're a coward.
El Paso is what we decide it will be.
El Paso, better referred to as "Que Paso" (meaning "what happened") located in the Westernmost part of Texas, is a city composed of toxic, uncultured snobs that have no sense of identity owing to the fact that this is a border-town, and most of the people born in this city were given birth by parents who come from Chihuahua (by far the most violent Mexican state according to statistics, and extremely retrograde in culture, where women are super slutty and men listen to narco-corridos and everyone gets wasted). There's also the Anglosaxons that are here because they are too poor to live anywhere else. According to statistics, people in this town are also more alcoholic even at a young age, and vaping is extremely prevalent in the youth, and everyone behaves like it's normal because it's ingrained in the culture. The party scene sucks too - it's just some crappy Mexican tunes along with doing "perreo" with some Chihuahuan midget chicks and out-of-shape Chihuahuan dudes saying a prolonged wey every two seconds. Shout-out to real Mexicans, like those in Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato etc; there are far fewer nacos in those cities unlike Chihuahua and El Paso! Moral of the story: Unless you come from a deeply dysfunctional family, you'll be hard pressed to have a good time... but on the bright side, at least there's Neon Desert Music Festival, so cheer up!
Me: Man, I am so glad I lived in El Paso for a couple of years and left to San Antonio! Dude: Shit man, Que Paso? Me: El Paso Paso.
Yeah, the Juarenos & constant reminder of Mexico is a bit overwhelming at times. Plus the 100+ temperatures in the summer time is unlike no other but overall that's what makes El Paso, El Paso. El Paso was established around 1680, thats right ladies, it's one of oldest cities in Texas. Older than San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, & Houston. It is THE Safest City in the country & Ft. Bliss is one of the largest Army complex in the nation. The 1st thanksgiving in America actually happened in San Elizario & has been the central place of Pancho Villa & Billy the Kid. Also, education wise the United States House Committee on Intelligence is chaired by Silvestre Reyes, the House representative of El Paso. The newly elected Governor of New Mexico Susana Martinez was born & raised in El Paso. UTEP has alumni in the NBA, PGA, PBA, WWF, on SNL, ABC, an Academy Award winner & Olympic Gold Medalist. As far as all the other people what keep talking about music Vanity Fair had a special on how the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's, Sleepercar and tons of other recording artists just love El Paso.
FOOD! Yes, El Paso isn't the healthiest cities in America but if you want some tamales, enchiladas or any Mexican food, El Paso blows everyone else out of the water but not only that, we got Smash Burger, Five Guys, Whataburger, Charbroiler, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chico's & a restaurant-to-house ratio of 1:1. Yes, as El Pasoans we love our food. Lastly to all the people who decided to bash El Paso over the head, yes, I'm a native El Pasoan & I'm proud to say it. I've lived in Washington D.C., I've traveled to Madrid, Paris, London, NY & LA & somehow El Paso is still home. It's the culture & the people, yeah we don't have Palm Tree lined streets & a monument that anybody in the world can recognize but you know what I like it that way. Thats why we're in the Top 25 Drunkest cities in America, but thats besides the fact. So, if you have a problem with El Paso, just leave because your honestly ruining it for all of us. Go to your humid & dirty San Antonio & just decompose there.
HadesBaton Rouge A city located in west Texas, southern New Mexico, northern Mexico, and the ninth circle of Hell. It's primary import is souls which it sucks out of its inhabitants like a 100 square-mile hoover in black hole mode. The only thing El Paso has on ground-zero Hiroshima is that some of the people speak english but why you would want to try to speak to any of the ugly, half-wit, embarrassments to evolution I cannot even begin to fathom. The city is best seen from I-10 at high speed in your rearview mirror.
I was raised in El Paso and all I got was this lousy emotional scar tissue.
Multiple definitions 1. Girls here are so retarded they like some rainbow haired child rapist 2. Everyone wants to be black and are ashamed to be Mexican 3. All the dudes here swear they are straight but they dress like they want a carrot in their ass and mouth 4. Hut hair you know the one where they cut their bangs short so they look like the midget from the Lorax movie
I went to El Paso and man if any place needs to be bombed it’s the northeast part dear god
What you do when you pass hitch hikers while traveling through Mexico.
Bob, what did you do when you saw the hitch hikers in Mexico? I El Paso.
The reality is that El Paso is just an example of a city where life sucks. It's a piece of America that is struggling with the overwhelming forces of the 1st world and doesn't quite fit in. A place where the honest people are perceived as the scum of humanity. A place where the west meets the south and there is no middle ground. In short: El Paso is a shitty city. I've lived in a few shitty cities (Bakersfield, CA, Flint, MI, Ames, IA), but El Paso is by far the most shitty city in America and the worst place I have ever lived. It is one of the most corrupt cities in the country and it shows in the quality of life. El Paso is run by vicious drug cartels and gangs with virtually no law enforcement protection. What is worse is the gangsters are nothing more than a subculture in their own right, and their reign is not only supported by their own apathy, but even the “good” citizens of the city don't have the courage to stand up to them. The most feared gang in El Paso is the “Boys in Blue” or as they prefer to be called: “the ones that go around killing people, robbing people and not being scared to say it.” An incredibly ironic name for an amazingly terrifying gang. In El Paso, the people who are living there have so little energy and are constantly under threat that they are forced to be neurotic and paranoid, almost to the point of self-destruction. It's like you're living in the Saw movies.
Example of typical dialogue between El Pasoans. El Pasoan #1: What the hell do you mean, they’re going to kill us? El Pasoan #2: Oh, that. That’s just a rumor. El Pasoan #1: A rumor? Well, what if it's true? El Pasoan #2: Oh, don’t worry about that. They never say, "The sky is falling," you know. They never say anything like that. They say, “The sky is blue”. And if it happens to be white, they say “sky is white,” you know? (Policemen laugh) El Pasoan #1: So if the sky is blue, it doesn’t mean we're all going to die? El Pasoan #2: You know, they never say anything like that, do they? (Police laugh again)
