El Paso in the Seventies Through Photos | El Paso News
Description
Step back into El Paso’s vibrant 1970s through a treasure trove of vintage photos—where golf legend Lee Trevino and PI Jay J. Armes mingle with community parades and Soap Box Derby thrills. Behind the glamour: towering new buildings, historic campus dedications, and the looming presence of ASARCO’s stack over Smeltertown. These images reveal a city in flux—navigating labor strife, environmental battles, displaced families, and bold innovations like Tom Ogle’s 100mpg engine. Even space shuttles soared overhead as theaters lit up and everyday life unfolded under the weight of change. It’s a decade captured in frames—full of grit, pride, and the quiet pulse of a city reinventing itself.
