“Sometimes I’m asked what in the world I could find so special about the dried-up, bare, empty country I obviously prefer to live and work in. First I say I was born in it, and then I say, furthermore I love it for the intensity of its sunlight, the clarity of its sky, the hugeness of its space, its reaveled structure of naked earth’s primal form without adornment.” Quote by Tom Lea, well-known local artist.

The U.S. has so many cities which look just like the next. Same roadsigns, same stores, same restaurants, same suburban sprawl. The best thing about El Paso is: it’s unique.
