When I was looking at colleges, nobody suggested that I could enroll at the College of Mines, but by then it was already called Texas Western College. Now it's called the University of Texas El Paso.
This building is still standing and looks better in photos than it does in this postcard folder.

I've been here and it's a nice town...but your post cards make it prettier than I remember!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I must pay more attention to folders!

Sure looks more innocent back then, particularly the journey into Juarez.
ReplyDeleteLove that border crossing image. So festive!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately what I remember of El Paso is looking across the river to the houses made of cardboard on the other side.
It is a great way to get to know your country.I am not sure what mind-picture I had of El Paso, certainly I have a much better idea of the city now. Geography via postcards - I like it.
ReplyDeleteI very much like the style of the tower and the architecture of Pioneer Plaza, wonderful postcards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the note, and I totally understand, and will not replace your lovely spot, as your blog completely earned it, (besides beauty it offers so many interesting pieces of valuable study)....and all you need know is you've earned it....! ..can't wait to see more posts! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the best large letters I've seen! So perfect for the town. (or my image of the town anyway)
ReplyDeleteThat large letter panel is great. I always like when the city or state name is short so the letters can display the interior art larger.
