TEXAS...specifically El Paso

The El Paso City Council once voted to spend over $100,000 for private security to guard the city police station.

El Paso is known as the "Sun City." The sun shines in El Paso 302 days per year on average.

El Paso has a unique claim to fame when it comes to heralding itself as a Texas capital. With a plethora of boot companies calling the city home, it eventually designed itself as the state's "Boot-making Capital." Tony Lama was the town's first boot maker, setting up shop back in 1911.
