for all types of muscular dystrophy are
found.”

El Pasoan Debbi Hester said driving
along Scenic Drive is one of her
favorite things to do with
out-of-towners.
"Just recently, we had a regional
manager from Austin come to a corporate
meeting, so when I picked him up at the
airport, I took him across Scenic Drive
so he could see the integration between
El Paso and Juárez," Hester said. "Most
people don't know until they see with
their own eyes, the impact of that urban
sprawl. When you look toward the
horizon, as far south as you can see is
Chihuahua."
