Well it does:<\/p>\n

My, what a big cock you have there<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Fabens, Texas is the last stop east out of El Paso county. \u00a0The\u00a0ginormous\u00a0rooster\u00a0guarding Fabens Street\u00a0is not the only interesting item here. \u00a0Some of Steve McQueen’s “The Getaway<\/a>” was filmed there, though off hand I couldn’t pick out where.<\/p>\n

Before\u00a0the rooster is a Pontiac Ventura\u00a0permanently embedded in an empty lot. \u00a0It appears to be advertising the locations great potential for your future business\u00a0opportunity:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/dt>\n
Crash and Burn here!<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Traveling down Fabens Street, left onto Alameda and in about a mile you will find what looks like a airplane graveyard:<\/p>\n

Final boarding call for the last flight out of Fabens<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

The property has several fuselages scattered about it along with random airplane parts and crates of Steno cans. \u00a0The Steno and plane wrecks gave me a creepy “Alive<\/a>” vibe,\u00a0minus the\u00a0cannibalism and bitter cold.<\/p>\n

Fabens is also not\u00a0immune to the effects of rampant file sharing and movie\u00a0piracy:<\/p>\n

Eddie couldn’t holdout for the return of Betamax<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Just down the street from Eddie’s is Hotel California:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/dt>\n
Captain, Please bring me my wine<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Not really. \u00a0It sure does look similar to the Eagles album<\/a> cover though. \u00a0The warm hands of God must have kept their palm trees alive during\u00a0February’s\u00a0unusual 4 day freeze, unlike 95% of El Paso.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have much more time to keep driving around freaking out the locals so I headed back to EP. \u00a0The full Flickr set can be found here:\u00a0Fabulous\u00a0Fabens<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
