It all sucks and the traffic is bad. Do not drive down here. Stay where you are. Especially on the weekends.

You forgot to suggest to him that there are some good places in El Paso.

It is not the pre-Ike Tookie's (imo). Still not a bad burger though.

Yep. purposefully driving on 146 is like shooting yourself in the foot.

A Bombshell followed by a Squealer and a Vanilla Coke still taste the same to me in the new locale. Much better views at the new place, but traffic right now is a mess down there.

Yes Tom's is also still open.
Tookie's Seafood (on the north side of the bridge) is good, too.

Is Joe Lee's still up and running?

They closed the old location and moved to a new building.

I may have eaten a the new location once.

They both suck. Go to the Long Johns Liver up on 45 near West road for better seafood. It is not worth fighting, and adding to, the traffic. There is no cool relaxing ocean vibe. There are no nice people. There is no more room on the roadways or parking lots. I am trying to warn you people.

El Paso is waiting to embrace you, like your favorite fat aunt at the family Christmas. She hugs you with those big meaty arms and pulls you in tight, where you feel safe, warm and just a touch uncomfortable. Then she fills you full of starchy food and the beer your uncle used to drink. Don't come down here and give your money to Tillman. Go West young man and you will find what you seek.

Ok, now you're over doing it a bit.

I do remember going to Tookies in the '70s for great Burgers and Ice Cream Sodas!

Different times…..

I haven't heard that name in years. During the summers of '94 and '95, I waited tables at Landry's on the first floor. When you were assigned to work the patio and got the station next to Joe Lee's, you knew you'd pissed someone off.

He would be lying if he suggested that though. Because there arent good olaces in El Paso.

Probably the closest is Tucson.

Miss the long gone The Point on Morgan's Point. Great burgers and cold beers and one of the best juke boxes around. Damn hurricanes.

Seems like people use to call that place the Goat Ranch for whatever reason. Anybody know why?

There was a guy that lived on that spoil bank across the ship channel.

The guy would go back and forth across the ship channel in a canoe. He'd tie up the canoe next to the goat ranch.

I guess the dude built himself a camp and was living out there on that uninhabited spoil bank.

I want to say the name of it was Atkinson island.

Anybody ever hear of this story or know anything about it?

Somebody has bound to have seen the guy.

Also we talking 20-years ago.
