El Paso’s downtown area is\u00a0kind of unique. Many if its buildings have remained\u00a0relatively\u00a0unchanged since their initial construction. \u00a0Sure, businesses have come and gone and some new buildings have replaced old\u00a0dilapidated or damaged structures.\u00a0\u00a0For the most part though, we have retained in continual use many of the buildings and homes that date back to the early 1900’s.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0neighborhoods\u00a0in central El Paso and in the Sunset heights area retain their older character as well. \u00a0As they say, you can’t stop progress and with construction of the I-10 freeway, it would obliterate a few hundred homes and businesses that ran along its route.<\/p>\n
