One was Lick it Up Mexican “foodtruck” inside a bar near the ‘alligator’ plaza and and Savage Goods in the Sunset Hts area. We discovered a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired house near the University as well. Wanted to camp overnight at Huerco Tank, but it was full.

Lived in chuco town for twenty something years and it is ours. It’s big and trafficky yet we don’t mind. It’s proud and somewhat graphically segregated but not in a bad way. It literally means “the pass,” as it meant that travelers would just go on their merry way to Cali or Eastern Texas and vice a versa, and we feel ok with that. It’s safe, secluded and quite different to most US cities. Not much to do here and our cultural statistics are probably not quite up to standard but, our town possesses charisma and personality unmatched by few.

Overall I think you did a good job of your analysis of El Paso..next time you are back in Las Cruces ...let me know .. We have some good local restaurants here..

Bars,hiking and shopping, pretty much it

Man O man that food looks killer!

When focusing on the downtown Art Museum enter the building and show some of the art collection. There is another art museum on Montana Avenue not that far from downtown.
