Got lost one time in El Paso after picking up my grandsson from school on the West side, and found myself on Paisano--did not realize how close to the Rio Grande it is and was relieved when I finally figured out how to get off of it and head toward Fort Bliss.

It is just so sad that in a little more than 3 years time, the cartels have turned the border into a war zone! Until then, El Paso was considered one of the safest cities in the US, and had a very nice small town feel. And on the local news casts, when a shooting or some other kind of violent act took place, it got a lot of coverage because it was a rather rare event. But--that was then..........

Yeah, that is really unfortunate. And it just seems to be getting worse each month...
