Young people in my town--stay or go?

[breakingnews]

my last girlfriend lived in el paso with her ex-husband, who worked across the border. despite her love of spanish/latin culture, she hated living there. said it was quaint at times, but otherwise not pleasant. lack of jobs, poor economic outlook ...

so they bought a VW bus, drove around Mexico for six months and then pointed themselves at new york city, where they promptly separated and she moved on to destroy my life.
