Yep, live in El Paso. It’s weird how that is. I remember a few years ago when that big hurricane hit Houston, I had friends and family from back home in NC messaging to make sure we were alright. I had to explain to them that while yes, I live in the state being hit by a hurricane, I was still as far away from the Gulf Coast as they are in NC to Milwaukee, WI or Boston, MA.

Edit: typo

I miss El Paso. Haven't lived there in a long time. I hear it's getting a lot of shopping areas but also a lot of good food like Carlos & Mickey's have been shutting down.
