Born And Raised

3/26/2006
I was born in El Paso TX, have lived here most my life. The City has its nice points, for instance the weather is warm and dry. I guess thats why they call us the SUN CITY. Violent Crime seems to be low, but is on the rise. Fort Bliss Army post is growing by leaps and bounds. The cost of living here is very low, but if your looking for work, good luck. being so close to the border, you will need to know Spanish to find employment even at the local burger joints. With some 40-80 thousands military familes coming to the area by 2008, the already congested roads will be hell to traverse, and hopes of any employment on or off post will be even harder to find. Gang activity is also on the rise, with nightly news reports of gang violence and graffeti. The schools here are aweful, unless you go private schools, but most of them are catholic schools. Unless you have to move here as part of a Military move, I would reconsider moving here. Yes there are worse places in the world to live, but ther are also many far better than El Paso TX.
