for years, it's been rated the safest, or nearly so, city in the country.......good article here:

Ironic, given that El Paso literally borders what was recently the "murder capital" of the world.

 

p.s. I lived near El Paso for many years. The only good thing about it back then was the army base and the Old Plantation gay bar :)

I suspect there are still remnants of the hustler life that John Rechy knew there.

 

thanks for that mention, Charlie......did have to go look him up and his story.......for those also wondering, he was born in El Paso in 1931 and graduated from what is now UTEP......
