living it up in the twenties...


the teens were crazy for el paso, with war locally and globally.  the twenties were a lot calmer, and lots of refugees found refuge in el paso.  enthusiasm was up and the population grew to 102,000.  the volstead act didn't hurt either.  it outlawed liquor on a national scale.  so...where we going to find a drink?  how bout juarez?  good idea.  juarez said bring it on, and now they from a little adobe town to a mexican vegas.  90 years later and my high school friends are still doing the same thing.
