Living In El Paso has one unique feature that many other US cities doesn't have: Mexico is practically right next to door to us. People on the west side get to see the Juarez border on a daily basis & sometimes, I think we take it for granted. We don't truly get to appreciate the other side of the Border unless we go there ourselves.

Of course the most notable structure in Juarez is the La Equis. Also known as the big red X.

What's even more telling is that we've even seen companies help promote that Juarez has an amazing nightlife; like this video from Red Bull Music.

But you don't need corporations saying that. Ordinary people show that Juarez is much more than what you hear in the news...

Of course if you go to Downtown El Paso, you can see so many people that show love to Mexico from both sides of the border.
