San Jacinto Plaza also known as La Plaza de los lagartos (Aligator Park). I remember yearly they would light the tree for Christams. I still remember the ornaments shimering against the colored lights.

They use to get their trees from Ruidoso Sacramento mountains, now they have a real life permanent tree planted and growing, a duglas fur maybe not sure.

Ahh, the old GMC Blue bus. I remember my favorite one on the Pasodale-Lakeside route was bus 43. We would board the bus at Yvonne and George Orr Road to go to see my grandma in Ysleta or go Downtown. I remember one night Villalobos (yes, he would drive too) drove my mom and I home off route right in front of our house on Vivian Drive. I was about 8 or 9 years old. It must be a painted picture because the buses are missing the front and back exit door. The buses were always parked with the door to the curb.

I am fairly sure I saw her perform in it downtown, at least one year though.
Excellent photos Levow, thank you. |

I love El Paso. It's such a wonderful city. Sure, it has it's problems as any other city does, but it is a truly unique city with so very much to offer.
Thanks very much for the pictures.
