I once saw someone say that one of the things they missed most about El Paso was our rock walls, and I remember thinking, Really? Of all the things you could miss about El Paso, you miss the ROCK WALLS?!<\/p>\n
But then I started thinking about it, and you know what? They kind of had a point.<\/p>\n
Those rock walls that separate our houses and line our backyards are something we see every day, but I never really thought about how much they’re a part of El Paso until recently.<\/p>\n
El Paso’s Rock Walls Are Everywhere<\/p>\n
Seriously, take a look around your neighborhood. Chances are, you’ve got a rock wall in your backyard, your neighbor has one, and so does pretty much everyone else on your street!<\/p>\n
I always assumed this was normal everywhere. Then one time I was visiting Phoenix and noticed that most of the fences I saw were just plain block walls.<\/p>\n
And that’s when I realized how much I actually like our rock walls!<\/p>\n
There’s something about the different shapes and colors of the rocks that makes them look so much nicer than a plain concrete wall. Maybe I’m biased, but I think they give our neighborhoods a little more personality.<\/p>\n
