El Paso is home to two of the finest boot manufacturers: Tony Lama and Lucchese. Seconds and "blems" are plentiful and heavily discounted.
	El Paso is prone to high winds prevailing west to east, especially in fall and spring seasons. Orientation of dock loading is crucial! Dust burns and tumbleweed accidents are common.
	Restaurant tip: State Line Restaurant 915-581-3371. Best Barbecue and steak in West Texas.
	Significant capital improvements completed in February 1999. Frequent flight delays due to unpredictable weather between El Paso and other Texas connection cities.
