Image title | A large, illuminated star, high above El Paso, Texas, on Franklin Mountain, has become an informal symbol of the community. It is the second such star built by the El Paso Electric utility. The first, erected as an experiment in 1940, lost most of its bulbs in a severe windstorm and was quickly replaced by this star. Improvements were made in 1946. The length was increased to 459 feet, the width reduced to 278 feet and 459 (150 W) lights were used. Today the star, with its 300 lights, still has those same dimensions. It sits at an angle of 30 degrees on the mountain and may be seen from the east as far as 30 miles away. |
