Chris thanks for sharing that mock-up! Looks pretty good, but I hope there's more plans for larger green areas.

It's hardly a fight, it's one bully taunting the bull but his back ups are there ready to rescue him and if the bull gets to be too much for him and of course they weaken the bull for him by stabbing it mercilessly and painfully. Bull fighting as well as the other animal blood sports are the shame of El Paso. You can find plenty of dog fights and rooster fights going on around here.
Hey, they have murder tours in Los Angeles. You can pay to climb on a bus and see the place in South L.A. where the body of Elizabeth Short aka the Black Dahlia was found, chopped into two pieces; the site of the Tate-Polanski house and I think Leno and Rosemary La Bianca's house. There's a whole tour devoted to the Manson murders. Maybe Angelo Buono's old auto repair shop is on the itinerary, too; he was one-half of the killing team known as the Hillside Strangler with his cousin Kenneth Bianchi.

Dallas has Dealey Plaza and the Sixth Floor museum, and an X on the pavement on Elm Street marking the exact spot where John F. Kennedy got his brains blown out. Fall River, Massachusetts has the house where Lizzie Borden's father and stepmother were found chopped up with a hatchet; it's a bed and breakfast and museum. For a price, you can sleep in Lizzie's old room and I think see the sofa where her father's body was found with the bloodstains still on it and the head of the murder weapon (the handle got lost some time ago). Tombstone, Arizona has the OK Corral and El Paso has historical markers marking the locations of famous shooting incidents from its Old West days.

So if you're a fan of bullfighting, why not?
