It wasioined by the Fire Department.The Fire Departmentwas gight on the corner of SouthStanton; next wasthe Police Department,a two-story building. 0n the lowerfloor washis office andChief of Police--I don,t recall his name--andon the secondfloor wasa court, the corporation Court. Andthen there wasan al1ey, and then there wasa Chineselaundry. Myschool days were at st. Mary's. It usedto be on Myrile and Ange street. ThereI went for six grades,as far as all the grammarschool I had. ThenI started working. I usedto work for RamonTelles. I was trying to makemyself an automobilemechanic. I workedthere for a whi1e, and then whenone day he sent meto a machineshop to havea block rebored, fit rings andgrind the bearings,I said, ,,Uh,uh. Myjob is not goingto be a mechanic,I'm goingto be a machinist.,,So I shifted. I started workingin shops. Thefirst shopI workedin wasEl pasoFoundry. But beforethat I wentto El PasoHigh School; I took manualtraining. My teacherwas Mr. Sacksin the machineshop. I took MachineShop practice, ROTC,and the Maththat we neededin MachineShop. ThenI aiso servedwith CANDELARIA the TexasNational Guard, 36th Division, E company,131st Infantry. I wastheir SupplySergeant. Andsince I knewa'little aboutmechanics, I wastaking care of the rifles, repairing. A11that repair wasjust to rep'laceparts; [I] didn't haveto makethem. Andthen I comeback to old El Paso. Downon SouthStanton we had RamonGomez, who was the father of 'living. ModestoGomez, who's still M: ModestoGomez, .yeS. I interviewedhim. C: He told you morethan I can, becausehe is older than I. He knewme since I wasa kid. He taught mehow to drive a car, he hada FordModel T. And he wasworking for the International cigar company.He taught mehow to drive a Studebakerand a Ford. AndI usedto go aroundwith himon sales. That wasbefore what I said before. ThenKid payoand Jim payo, they're unclesof Saul Paredes.Do you knowhim? I don't knowhim personally, I knowof him. He can te'I1 you more;he wasmy next door neighbor. Is he aboutyour age? No, he is older. Saul Paredesis around75, moreor less. I'm curious to knowwhat you rememberabout growing up in SouthEl Paso. we]1, at that time southEl Pasowas nothing but a little town;we had everythingc'lose by. Bakerywas owned by the Paredesfamily. Acrossthe street wasa butchershop, owned by a fellow namedChema, that washis nickname. He passedaway. Wehad everything around here. Another place that we usedto get togetherwas The Quien Sabe. That wasowned by an ltalian, it wason 4th and SouthStanton. Andthen there wasthe First Baptist Churchon 5th and Stanton,another Protestant church, Method'ist, on 4th and Stanton. Then[there were] grocerystores on both sides of CANDELARIA the street, selling fruits, vegetables,and groceries, Thenthe railroad usedto comeon TexasStreet, and the streetcar usedto run from El paso to Juarezin a circle. Thenthe SecondWard Streetcar usedto cometo SeventhStreet, go around,come to townand back. The JuarezfStreetcar] usedto comefrom North Stantonand passto Juarez. M: Doyou remembera lot of peop'lefrom Juarezwho used to go throughStanton Street on their wayback? There'salways been a lot of traffic on Stanton Street. C: 0h, yes, but I wasjust a kid. M: But do you recall a lot of traffic, peoplegoing by there? C: 0h, yes, plenty of heavytraffic, sure, with the streetcars. Andat that time we still hadhorses and buggies, one or two automobiles.There weren,t manycars at that time. This placewhere I live nowwas nothing but mountains.My dad and I usedto go shootrabbits right hereat this p1ace. ThePolice Firing Rangeused to be on Hawthorneand Schuster,a big stonewall. I think that's still there, if I,m not mistaken,on Haw- thornestreet over there. Therewas no collegeof Minesthen, nothing; that cameyears later. No high school, that cameafter the Fjrst Wor'ld |darwhen that schoolwas built. I think it was [the old Morehead]School on Arizonaand Kansas. M: Whatdid you do as a kid in your neighborhood? C: P'layedwith the kids. M: Whatkind of gamesdid you p'lay? Escondidas,hide and go seek; and sometimesIndians and Cowboys__youknow, kids' games. we usedto havea gangof our ou,rl. Amongour memberswas Saul Paredes,Ernesto Herrera and Tito paredes. I don't rememberthem CANDELARIA other fellas. Weused to fight with stonesagainst each other. At that time there wereno bui'ldingsaround there. Thecanal hadno fence. Some of the kids fell off of themonce; that kept meout. I still like to go backto the old days. Therewas no traffic. wel], to myway of thinking, it wasbetter. M: Doyou remembera lot of those tenementsthat they havein SouthEl Paso? C: Yeah,but I don't rememberthe namesof the owners.

Wehad law andorder. M: Yousay you ran aroundwith a little gang. C: 0h, just kids aroundthe neighborhood,yeah. M: Wasit moreof a friendly gangrather than someof these gangsthat we have now? C: 0h, no, it wasn'tlike that. Myfather andtheir parentswouldn't allow us. Myfather had beena police officer. He wasin chargeof everythingthere, and someof the copsthat werearound there. No, nothing of that sort in thosedays. It waslaw andorder with the kids. In thosetimes, kids worked. Nowkids don't ha'/ea damnthing to do but raise hell. youcan seethat yourself. wedidn't havenone of those[gangs].

  • Latin Neighborhoods in the United States Ernesto Castañeda Assistant
    Latin Neighborhoods in the United States Ernesto Castañeda Assistant Professor of Sociology American University, Washington DC MARCH 1, 2019 Abstract Inner-cities, African-American neighborhoods, Chinatowns and other abstract concepts of racialized spaces occupy important roles in social theory and policy, yet the concept of the Barrio, or Mexican-American neighborhood, has faded away since Oscar Lewis’ work on “the culture of poverty.” Is there a policy or theoretical use to talking about U.S. Barrios in general or should the discussion of Mexican neighborhoods be place-specific? The presentation compares two Latino neighborhoods: El Barrio/East Harlem, New York City, NY; and El Segundo Barrio, El Paso, TX. Levels of Analysis Demographers use Census data and large surveys ◦ Good to look at trends in the size of the Latino population ◦ Macro Level Less common to look at ethnic groups beyond neighborhood boundaries and to compare between cities ◦ Good to look at particulars and generalizable processes ◦ Meso level Community Studies – look at particular neighborhoods ◦ Good to discover processes and social dynamics ◦ Micro Level (Castañeda et al. 2013) Chicago School Studied immigrants as communities in bounded urban areas. Urban Communities A theoretical, tourist, and mental map fetish? Research Questions Does it make sense to talk about a general Latino experience across the U.S.? Is there a policy or theoretical use to talking about U.S. Barrios in general or should the discussion of Mexican neighborhoods be place-specific? How do local contexts and built environments affect inter-ethnic relations? Barrios ❑ There is relatively small amount of academic work published about Barrios or Latino neighborhoods.

We have made a number of recommendations to improve EPISD's efficiency, but we also found a number of "best practices" in district operations. This report highlights several model programs and services provided by EPISD's administrators, teachers, and staff. Our primary goal is to help EPISD hold the line on costs, streamline operations, and improve services to ensure that every possible tax dollar is spent in the classroom teaching the district's children. This report outlines 142 detailed recommendations that could save EPISD $27.9 million over the next five years, while reinvesting $14.9 million to improve educational services and other operations. We are grateful for the cooperation of EPISD's administrators and employees, and we commend them and the community for their dedication to improving the educational opportunities offered to the children of El Paso. Sincerely, Carole Keeton Rylander Comptroller of Public Accounts Executive Summary In September 1998, the Comptroller's office conducted a performance review of the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) at the request of the superintendent.
