Eastern Europe in the USA

When I lived in Bratislava, a friend advised me that no one in their right mind would shop there when Vienna was so close.
How close? Trains run every hour, and the journey lasts an hour.
Easy to do.

In EL Paso, Texas, you can't buy clothing or shoes of any quality in my neighborhood.
One must travel by personal automobile--a climate-destroying and soul-destroying
instrument of the capitalist class--to the "other side of the mountain".
Please don't think there is anything romantic about it. IT's not.
The journey lasts, perhaps, 45 minutes.... a journey to a mall--not my idea of a beautiful place.
An enclosed space with artificial air and light......

Unpleasant, inconvenient....eptx
