I don't think I've ever read anything about El Paso, Texas. It's a great place to walk around. You're most likely to have good weather (it's almost always sunny there) and you'll find some great early and mid-century architecture. Much of it is being renovated.
Much of the downtown area is being renovated, so there are some good places to shop and eat.
I'm sure you've heard of the Plaza Hotel (there's one in New York and in Shanghai). Did you know there's also a Plaza Hotel in El Paso?
The Plaza Hotel, is located in downtown at 106 Mills Avenue. Built in 1929, the hotel is 239 feet high. It's an Art Deco styled, steel-framed building with a brown brick face. On top is a copper pyramid.
Before 1963, the hotel was a Hilton, Conrad Hilton's first highrise hotel in the world. I wonder if Paris (Hilton's granddaughter) knows this.
According to Wikopedia, Elizabeth Taylor briefly lived in the penthouse of the hotel after she married Conrad Hilton's son Nicky.
