June 2017
Alfresco Friday! The PT and the Cruisers performed. It was bloody hot. Simmered around 100 degrees.
Neverthless, I took off from my place in Sunset Heights on a walk downtown. This time, I routed myself through Upson Street.
I saw things.
Through an alley
First, I descended from Yandell down to Upson by way of an alley. I loved how Juarez came closer through the frame of adjacent houses.

The ramshackle house
I turned left onto Upson.
This house fascinates.

Look at its view of Juarez and the mountain range!

Upson Street loops around a bit and then overlooks Interstate 10.

Despite the heat, El Paso danced!

Never do I tire of seeing Juarez from my neighborhood. It is a magic spot on the planet, straddling two cities, two countries.
Speaking of magic, my camera gave me a stop action movie of my 100 minutes, sounds and movements included with snaps:

Beautiful border city/cities, + relatively safe, friendly, and thriving. Imagine that!
I know, I know! :-) There are volumes I could write in response to your comment, but I'll keep it superficial. El Paso is one of the most stunning cities I've ever been to. Not the most 'beautiful,' however one chooses to define that, but the one with the most geographical/architectural/scenic dots of wowness. I swear, it's also got the most intelligent individuals per square inch than I've ever encountered. Damn!
