My mom is moving from our home on San Antonio St in south central El Paso, to a home on Durango st, by the Union Plaza area, she doesnt drive, and works in downtown, so this location is ideal for her. The trolley will charge her only 25 cents and will drop her off a block from her work. Yesterday night we went to check out the place, and i was very pleasantly suprised, all the streets in that area have been cleaned up, their was streetlights & benches on every corner, its extremely well lit. The Union Plaza where their planning to reroute all the Sun Metro Buses is beautiful, truly an El Paso hidden and underappreciated gem! Their is a "cute" lil park about 2 blocks from the house, i think its callled "Firemen Memorial Park" its right next to the firestation, too make a long story short, it made me realize that although were moving slowly, we have made progress. Their was people walking around the neighborhood, old & young, it looked very welcoming, i thought their would be nothing but "young hoods" walking around, & to my suprise, their was nothing of that sort~The only eyesoar was the old greyhound station, but ofcourse thats further down on the block.
