All-America City Award - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Congrats to the El Paso delegation.
Never mind the nay-sayers.

Geeze, don't tell the people in Ca about this, they will say it was fixed cause nothing in Texas, the south or the midwest deserves any awards.

CONGRATULATIONS, that is an honor. Bentonville, AR made the top 25, but we couldn't quite get past that..

Good for El Paso...

In Borderland, Mexico Is Favorite World Cup Team, Not US Squad - News Story - KVIA El Paso

Maybe it's this? Maybe the powers-that-be choose from political correctness now? It's better to be un-American, loyal to another nation that is not the USA?

But there's no question, here in the Borderland, on this side of the border, the allegiance is to Mexico and not the U.S.

Kind of ironic both news stories are in the news at the same time. The people of El Paso do not support the USA team. They support their own country's team.

And there is also this:

El Paso group to push Love for Juárez campaign in US - El Paso Times

I guess this kind of thing makes us win this award in today's world. Our love and admiration for a city in another nation. Maybe next year they can just give this All-American city award directly to Juarez.

Is that kinda like getting the TREE CITY USA award, I know a gaggle of them. I wonder if Malamute is not onto something.. but who knows. Be Happy your city got it, wonder if they will get more funding for city wide projects now, if not then its just a plaque that hangs in city hall.. and maybe a sign some place on a highway.
