"albuquerque doesn't have NOTHING el paso doesn't have" ??? What?
Yes el paso is 20-30 years behind Albuquerque & Tucson.....and it's growth is fueled by the Ft Bliss expansion. Don't get use to that federal government teet.....because when they decide to pull it away from el paso's mouth it's all over......remember el paso has quite the brain drain going on, which is evident here!
I just wanted to say something about the El Paso skyline and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. Actually, I believe it has more to do with Juarez, MX. The writing on the mountains above Juarez has a biblical reference (if I'm not mistake); however, I just think it looks really tacky and I do not think it compliments the El Paso skyline. This isn't intended to be a jab at El Paso, but simply an observation is all.
Cimarron is a new community located on the West Side of El Paso, Texas. It sits between Resler and Helen of Troy with the Franklin Mountains as a backdrop. Recently,a new addition to the subdivision, Cimarron Sky, opened up and home building began. Homes go from the 180′s and up. There are different features at different price ranges but the builder I want to spotlight today has some completed homes at a great price. Celtic homes has been building in Cimarron since the subdivision opened up a couple of years ago and has seen success.
[CENTER][/CENTER] Desert Springs: Ground broken at West Side development

Desert View Homes on Monday marked the start of a 600-home development near Franklin Mountains State Park on the West Side with a groundbreaking ceremony. The development, Desert Springs, will be on 193 acres along Trans Mountain Road and just east of Interstate 10. It's about two miles west of Franklin Mountains State Park, estimated Pat Woods, Desert View director of development. Desert View, El Paso's largest home builder, expects to begin selling homes in the new development by January 2012, when model homes should be completed, Woods said. It will take six to eight years to complete the development, he said. The 240-home first phase of the development will cost more than $50 million to build, including homes, Woods estimated. Desert Springs will have four hiking and biking trails and three small community parks as part of preserving open space in the area, Woods said.

evident? yes it's evident that El Paso is on the GO!!
A couple of examples for you on time frame observe, when was the big i sore built in albuquerque? late 90s? When was the Spahgetti Bowl built in El Paso? 1973, 20 years later abq gets the smaller big i sore! Which City had it's first enclosed Mall? Bassett Center and Cielo Vista Mall in El PASO.
El Paso along with other cities experienced some brain drain, presently it's more like Brain Gain economic wise, closely OBSERVE- “El Paso is experiencing robust growth, fueled by the expansion of Fort Bliss, the immigration of people and capital from Juarez, the birth of the first medical school anywhere in America in the last 30 years, and a buoyant local economy amidst a national financial crisis.
It's just not Ft. Bliss ignorance, El Paso includes a 70 Billion annually international trade with Juarez and Mexico, while Ft. Bliss injects another 5 billion annually Now do you know what the Medical Center of the Americas will do for El Paso? Do some research on what Med Schools have done for Houston, San Antonio, and Austin!

Albuquerque's first enclosed mall was Winrock mall which was built in 1966, followed by Coronado Center which was expanded and enclosed in 1972. Also Albuquerque's original Big I was built in 1966 and was rebuilt in 2000.....get your facts straight!
The new Big I is twice the size as your hideous concrete eyesore spaghetti bowl. Plus the Big I along with most of I-40 through Albuquerque is now LANDSCAPED. Something el paso has no clue about!
The poll speaks for itself mr uninformed!
