I like it over there I might move there from Beaumont California to where is

That's right slots friend's made the elementary school and primaria. Than high school in ELP But been born in El Paso very loyal. To Juarez. Once up on a Time think so persons had more respect. For people and elders Very few. People's from down down south Mexico just people from Chihuahua State and Texas and California visiting their beloved seconds Ward. Segundo barrio.. recalling hard times that made out us fine core of. Values From grandpa's and parents. From the 40 s and 30s. 20s grandpa Pancho villa. Soldier .de Los. Dorados

I was born in June 7 2003

My parents met in a similar matter in El Paso. My father served in WWIi in the Korean War. They dated for 6 months and got married. Married for 56 years. Great memories growing up in El Paso.

This sure brought back alot of memories for me. My hometown. El Paso will always have my heart. I always come back to visit my Roots. The people are what make this city so very unique.

I live near the ex-SP Little Flower (now UP Alfalfa) Yard and love the history of the area.

The name of the college was Texas Western College.

The same as it does now...a shithole

That is so mean! Thr r worse looking places in the world!

My old stomping grounds:) Ruidoso and vicinity was a fav destination for my fam back in the day to escape the heat of the desert

@@wantstoruletheworld5678 You got that right!! To escape the heat and DRINK LOTS OF BEER!!

@@ericseal4453 😆 lol

Gasoline station/ building still there a block east of Huckleberry St. Now it's a mechanic repair shop run by Manny an ex-body builder, (94?) Year old man. Still in great shape. I used to get gas there in late 60'-70's. Great memories...I still live in EL PASO .

@@lilyalexi3905 5015 montana? Right next to Leos" My grandfather tested cars going up St John's Street. Gunning Casteel in the shopping center. Clock drive in up the street.

@@johnclayton1026 Yes, correct. You can leave your vehicle there and walk across the street into Restaurant and have a great meal while Manny and Raul's crew takes care of your vehicle issues. Sorry, I wasn't able to give more info earlier. I had gotten bad news of a friend that once was Yardmaster at Railroad yard called Alfalfa off North loop and Delta St. He was a veteran, a wonderful friend. He passed away and my brain went to that dark place. As a teenager I would take my Delta 88 for gas with friends that worked there. Gas pumps were removed years back but they left air hose to fill your tires with air.

How you doing with the flooding?

Into what?

@@WalkingPrepper a place where they closed down the insights science museum to build a fuckin stadium for a second rate ball club

@@UnasGamingChannel 🤔 actually that pissed me off as well. Like they could have built it next to it. My kid brothers liked that place

@@wantstoruletheworld5678 man I rememeber in the 90s, at Hughey elementary, they'd take us to insights. Like twice a year. I miss that place. I miss the 90s. And all for the sake of "progress". My ass. You don't shut down an institution of education for sports. And not even good sports at that

@@UnasGamingChannel Very true. Hey you remember what the other stadium in the northeast was called? Like I haven't lived there in a long time, was it Cohen ball park or something? Actually any field trip where I was NOT IN SCHOOL was paradise for me homes. It could have been to go watch a window washer for all I cared 😆

It’s from my dad’s 8mm footage. Glad you like it.

Missell school Nike sites

@@shirleyniemiec6392 My father (a young Turkish Army officer back then) visited Fort Bliss in 1961 and trained for Nikes. Maybe your husband and my father might be met each other.

Its a shithole that should have been mortored out of existence decades ago

Meee toooo pls. Post more

@@WalkingPrepper How sad that’s your opinion of my hometown. Maybe you had a bad experience but to many who grew up and have family here, El Paso has fond memories for them. Throughout the decades, El Paso has evolved and developed pretty well. Lots of professionals and military have decided to make it their home because of many reasons that appealed to them; low cost of living, climate, friendly people, great Mexican food, laid-back living, international, etc . . . No city is perfect; there’s always good and bad everywhere. For example the city of San Francisco. While on a business trip there, I had never seen so many homeless, filthy vagabonds all over the city including the financial center. The streets were littered with them (and no they were not immigrants or illegals). A beautiful city indeed with a bad side but I would never insult the locals by giving San Francisco a bad name. In any event, if people want to feel nostalgic for this city and have fond memories of grandma or grandpa, etc. . . don’t ruin it by downgrading their hometown. Go spill your venom somewhere else. Greetings from El Paso, TX the Sun City 🌞🌵🌻

@@Dina52328 a nice constructive response for the knuckle head above:) I fondly will always remember EP as I too grew up there. I was a kid of the 80's and 90's. Some may say "... and a kid from the 00's and the 10's" etc 😆. Truth is I live over a thousand miles away now for many years... you cannot beat a sunset from the Franklin mountains any day. I miss a lot of things ( not the sandstorms though) I miss family as time slowly fades each member away.. don't worry I believe in an afterlife 😆. But yeah. And not one person out here knows how to cook a dang brisket Texas style 😆 sad lands, you feel me? This footage reminds me of my grandparents and parents. Peace

@@wantstoruletheworld5678 Thank you 🙏. I have fond memories of taking the streetcar 🚎 with my grandma back in the 60’s and crossing over into Juarez to visit family and cousins. We had so much fun! I also remember coming home from school and smelling the wonderful aroma of mom’s fresh, homemade flour tortillas. She would always have her pork “chile colorado “ ready to eat. She would always say, “get yourself a plate. In my opinion, those memories are priceless 🥰. Yes, Peace.

Don't know if you knew Michael R. Melson? He did same job as you in military during that time and would also go into Juarez to get soldiers that were missing. He was my friend and just passed away Aug. 20, 2021. He was also a sniper in military.

@@lilyalexi3905 My condolences 🙏. The name does not ring a bell.

@@robertramjam913 Thank you. Just glad you're here and hopefully safe. I remember that he was at Fort Bliss and would get sent into Juarez Mexico to get our military boys out that would get into trouble. He was also a Sniper in Nam. He was my boss at Union Pacific Railroad and was my best friend who had a great sense of humor for a guy with an IQ of 171. Tough with everyone except me. Great man, father and husband to his family. Hope you and yours Survive Pandemic 😷🤗🇺🇲

No problem. Thank you, I’m glad you like it. Will you send me the video when it’s ready? And Merry Christmas!

And, would you also give credit to my dad? Footage by K. Tunstad.

@@arvetunstad8050 absolutely- thanks so much

Of course, you are welcome to use it! So glad you like it. Can you send me a link to it when finished?

Could you write "footage by K. Tunstad"? Would be so cool:-)

We sure will! Thank You!

My dad was in the Norwegian Air Defence Artillery. He had two, nearly a year long each, courses in missile air defence at Fort Bliss in the late 50's and 61/62:-).

My late father-in-law may have been an instructor back then! My dad worked at Bliss for decades as well. Thank you for sharing. My wife and I enjoy the nostalgic feelings it brings back.

my dad, too from 1956-1966. we grew up at Ft Bliss.

I lived a few blocks away from Pershing Gate at Fort Bliss. I would take bus into down town full of soldiers going to town and crossing over to Juarez Mexico. I was 17 years old (1970) and got a lot of attention from German soldiers when asked me my name. My last name is part German/ Italian. Nice men, kind and we're respectful. I've lived in EL PASO TEXAS all my life and have never wanted to leave here even after traveling around. Hurricanes don't reach us here and I've never seen it an actual full blown Tornado. No forest for fires, or any major disasters here. Just don't like the heat, but apparently that's everywhere now. Stay safe Survive pandemic 😷

Muy sierto desafortunadamente.
