I love the twinkling Juarez lights seen from I-10 near Basset. It looks even more impressive from space.

All that's missing from this photo is the mountain star.

I typically arrive in El Paso late at night after a long drive. After my Van Horn rest stop, my first indication that I'm "home" is seeing the star far off in the distance, getting bigger as I get closer, then going to 3 lanes at George Dieter, then the Juarez lights, and then the Wells Fargo building lit up with a Christmas tree or US flag pattern.

what also looks awesome is landing in El Paso coming from over downtown in a plane. It's an awesome sight to see El paso at night on an airplane.

It's crazy how El Paso looks so spread out and Juarez looks so tightly packed like the million plus people living in Juarez are trying to live as close to the US border as possible.

- there is a huge freaking mountain in the black area west of Juarez.
- Juarez has more than twice the population of El Paso
- El Paso is more suburban/bigger lots - Juarez is more urban & typical of most Mexican cities
- El Paso lacks street lights on most suburban streets - only arterials are lit
