Where It All Began

La ciudad en que yo naci, la llevo siempre en mi corazon al igual que a mi linda jente. Que Dios me los guarde a todos. This is the city where I was born. A city of 1.7 million people. A city, unfortunately, very impoverished and crime stricken. A city where more than 300 women have been murdered and found buried over the past ten years. A city where women still continue to go missing on a regular basis. To the perpetrators of these awful crimes; Your time will come. God is just and your days are numbered!

Walking is best

I don't recomend driving in this city. Just do what I do and leave your car in El Paso and walk or take the bus in Juarez. You will miss very much if you don't get out and walk.
