I was watching part of this video( anoin mentioned they talk about shoes 1 hour 18 mins in.After that he talks about Obelisks.

That guy also said these FF events/tragedys also happen close to a obelisk.( or one is built within the year after the event in a nearby park)

So i decided to look at Obelisks in the El Paso area and came across this.

 

IN 1848, the US and Mexico drew a line. The Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty – and then the Gadsden Treaty a few years later – established an agreement about where the boundary between the two countries lay. Markers made out of stone, marble or iron were placed along the border, spaced a few kilometres apart.

 

Today, 276 of these obelisks dot the boundary, and thanks to Donald Trump, this strip is more contentious than ever. David Taylor, a photographer in Arizona, first saw one for himself years ago, on a drive out from his then hometown in New Mexico. “I was captivated by them,” he says. “The monuments have been a witness to our changing national identity.”

 

Taylor made it his mission to visit every single one. On and off over seven years, he explored the 690-mile stretch between the first obelisk near Mount Cristo Rey and the last at Playas de Tijuana. Each was slightly different. One obelisk might be sitting smack in the middle of a busy port of entry, covered in graffiti. Another might be found alone in the Chihuahuan desert, little changed since its installation in the 1800s.

 

In this photo (top), you see Monument No. 250, located near CaÑon del Padre beside a 5.5-metre-tall fence. Below is Monument No. 1 on the border of Texas and New Mexico, near the town of El Paso.

It said the author of the update is Susan Barnum ( an El Paso librarian)

 

Susan Barnum (born February 5, 1975) is a Public Services Librarian who lives in El Paso, Texas. She's a good researcher who likes uncovering new facts. She enjoys teaching others how to use the library and find useful information both in print and digitally. Her main interests in Wikipedia are in the areas of atheism and El Paso history, library history and anything else that catches her fancy. She is also interested in ensuring that information is properly sourced and relevant to articles in Wikipedia. She really enjoys expanding articles that used to be stubs. She's still learning about copyright (there is a lot to learn!)

 

You're more likely to reach me on my Wikipedia user page.

 

She is really into Atheism.

( she has a quote by Ginsberg)

 

I'm a librarian and I will add information and links to articles about libraries and those who work at libraries. However, I will not edit articles about any institution that I personally work for. I will also generally write about local areas of my city, El Paso, and state of Texas, but I am not compensated for anything I write on Wikipedia.

 

Working on articles about women

I started to become very interested in working on articles about women for several reasons. One was that I was appalled that less than 16% of all biographies on Wikipedia were about women. I wanted to help. I became involved in Women in Red to help and have enjoyed the supportive and fun atmosphere of the project so much. Another reason I am interested in women's bios is because of my daughter. She has always been keenly interested in Black History and Women's history. Her excitement made me excited too. I hope the articles I write will help others see the amazing accomplishments that women from around the world have made. I also have discovered that I enjoy uncovering the stories and facts behind these women: it's challenging research and as a librarian, I enjoy a good research challenge!

 

As a feminist, I am also proud to be able to show my son the awesome contributions of women in the world. I hope that men and women can continue to work together to succeed and make the world a better place. :)

 

I also have a special interest in writing about Muslim women. When I was in the military, I was deployed to Saudi Arabia. I met some of the women who lived there. They wanted to become doctors. I have now had the pleasure of writing about many amazing women from the Arab world, like the women I met in SA a long time ago. I hope those women realized their dreams. :)

 

And she participates in Women in red
