December 2016
Those steps going nowhere - they are popular!
Back here, I saw a photo shoot in the same place.
Today it was a news crew.

I don't blame them - the top of the steps to nowhere have a killer view of I-10, downtown El Paso, and Juarez.

These steps to nowhere climb the cusp of Sunset Heights. In Hurting Game, a short story in Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club, Benjamin Alire Saenz' protagonist talks about Sunset Heights:
I lived in Sunset Heights, an old neighborhood that had old houses with a lot of class. It also had a lot of shabby houses that were falling apart. I like the shabby houses. I liked that I could walk downtown. It was February and the night was cool, but it didn’t feel like winter. It was as if spring was knocking at the door again. Not that I liked spring in El Paso. The winds came after us and left us beat up to hell, the taste of the desert sands being shoved down our throats by a God who didn’t love us much.
