"Sense of Place" is defined as the bond between people and a place or setting. A person forms attachments to their home through experiences in a particular place, as well as, their feelings about that place. So, think about what makes our home, El Paso, Texas unique. El Paso, Texas is the second largest border city in the United States, has a one-of-a-kind topography, and ranks as one of the most affordable places to live in North America; we have a nationally recognized educational facility in UTEP and much, much more! How does our physical site and situation greatly influence the feel, look, tastes and sounds of our city? In other words, what makes El Paso, El Paso!?!?
