I live here in El Paso,I used to live one block away from the Sugar House.I remember the real alligators, the city buses would park all around that park for people to board, they got rid of the alligators because they would get sick because people would feed them food and trash
Great vlog of the Sugar House and that alligator fountain. Glad the gators are gone. Perfect recipe for disaster. Orlando was very gracious in showing you around town. Nice vlog to get to know El Paso better since a few childhood friends of ours from California came from El Paso Tx. Very sweet and humble friends to this day. Thanks Jordan for taking the time to take us there. ❤️🙏🏻
Congratulations on the new merchandise!!! You deserve it, you bring so much to all of us. I will try to support you by buying something, right now things are very tight. But I will try very hard, I'll think what I can cut out for a short time 😊😊. That house was unique, to say the least. To each his own, that guy was dedicated. Great vlog as usual, and thanks for sharing. Safe travels 😊😊😊😊.
My internet has been wonky I finally get to catch up. Wow The House of Sugar is pure eye candy. Just amazing the details. What a great idea to put up the beautiful status instead the Gator pond.
wow super cool vlog, alligators kept there maybe they got to snappy thats why they are gone. Sugar house was stunning. Plane take off and landing seeing the terrain below. Tyvm Jordan
Hi Jordan ! I went through umpteen items on google and found one that stated the home owner actually sewed pockets into jeans at the now closed Levi Strauss factory.
El Paso is a different place, its half US half Mexico, Beto O'Rourke's home town. The Sugar House is amazing, this is something we've seen all over the US, we have 2 in Houston, ones called the Orange Show, the other the beer can house, what some do in retirement. YES ! get a Whataburger, let us know how it stacks up to In and Out. Have a great time, its a very interesting place to vlog, thanks for taking us with you !
Hi Jordan, love the aerial views you take us on-feels like we are right beside you. Love the Sugar House and the Boxing Hall of Fame painted on the side of the hotel has indeed, stood the test of time. The alligator park was an interesting concept, can't imagine why they got rid of it!! I hope you're able to get some neat merchandise ideas in El Paso-good night Jordan!
Yaaayyy..... The airport buzz gets me reved. En what a way 2b welcomed 2 El Paso. Feasting ur eyes on that creativity.. WOW!! What freedom 2 b able 2 express like that in ur country. Beasty Alligators in the 60z. Be pretty wild 2 see that in a public these days. Excited 4 2moz .
What an incredable place...the House of Sugar is amazing! I love to see things like that...such wonderful beauty that one man decided to share through his talents and imagination with the world!!! I just wonder what its all made of. Is it like molded cement or?? Cool vlog Jordan!
Jordan at zilker park in Austin behind the concession stand and across from the park train depot is a deep pit back in the 70s there was either one or two alligators in there. It must have been a thing in Texas.
I wonder how long it took the man to do that house! I'll have to look it up now. And the photos of the alligators, those where some huge huge huge alligators!
I'm in El paso!! We should meet up if you are still in town! You should vlog about Tony Lama, the building where he started making boots is still downtown. That is awesome that your merch is gonna be made in El paso!! Oh, and our old school updated trolleys start working tomorrow (I think) for the first time in years, you should definitely vlog that.
OH Yeah!! So Glad your in my Home State of Texas!! I've never had the chance to explore El Paso so thanks for taking us!! Hope ya get down to my hometown of San Antonio sometime! Can't wait to see more of El Paso!!
So glad you’ve come by my neck of the woods!! I have recently been watching all your videos and when I saw you had made one where I live I just couldn’t pass it up!! I pass by this house all the time and I live in that general area. I’ve always wondered about this house since I was small. As for the alligators in the plaza my mother said that they had to remove them after drunks would throw bottles at them and just abuse them. A couple of them may have died unfortunately. I do believe they were still around when my mother was a toddler. Don’t understand why they had live gators there in the first place...anyway! Thank you so much for your videos! Love them!!
I just had to tell you Jordan how much I enjoy watching your videos they are so informative and such a joy to watch I noticed your knowledge of a lot of the older movies and I thought of a couple of old African American movie stars that slip through the cracks of Fame and never got the notoriety that they deserve and all of them passed away in the Los Angeles California area I'll put a link at the bottom and you can check it out and see if you might be interested in doing a vlog or doing some research on them I think you would do a great job .
The House of Sugar is just amazing. A lot of work done there. Love the wall mural and the Alligator fountain. I'm curious to see what Orlando has designed for you. Thank you for bringing us along. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow.
Hi Jordan I live 40 miles away watch you everyday are you going to Debbie Reynolds home I was told it still exist keep up the the good work you make my every day enjoy your whataburger
The sugar house was awesome. I love how you appreciate and share the fruits of individual's creative passion projects. Looking forward to seeing the new merch ideas.
I am just blown away! Bravo to Rufino Loya Rivas for all the amazing detail on The House of Sugar. What a great tribute to El Paso and a wonderful treat for us Lionhearts! 🦁🌹🦁
I live just 2 hours away from El paso in carlsbad, New Mexico. Lion you should come to the Carlsbad Caverns, you'll love it. It's a true wonder of the USA if not the Americas. Look it up , Carlsbad also has the only river that crosses itself in the USA. Lots of awsome historical destinations here in NM plus the filming locations from BREAKING BAD in Albuquerque NM. I really hope to see a vlog from my neck of the woods.
That house is beautiful and what a labor of love for the artist. Very talented man. I'd love to get ahold of the flower and leaf molds and make some garden art. Beautiful.
What amazing house of sugar so much detail the guy really out dine himself loved it. Your dinner looked so good. Can't wait to see your new merchandise and what you have coming up for us Lionhearts to see...
Awesome vlog, thanks Jordan. LMAO on the line, "I wonder whose brilliant idea that was to have a pond full of alligators, I wonder if there were any problems, Hahaha!
I am usually not drawn to locations like this because they are so sloppily done, but the attention to detail, and the neatness Mr. Rafino, I think that was the name you gave us, exhibites is extraordinary. What an artist! Just the fact that he keeps it up so well, doesn't look 20 years old. Feel sorry for the Alligator's that used to be in the park. Didn't look like there was enough water to keep them happy. Glad they're gone. Thanks. Looking forward to the rest of your visit.
unfortunately even if the neighbors like it, it kills home values for the homes nearby - just the way it is - the guy is an artistic genius though, takes a lot of time and passion to do something like that, he's a very creative person
@@DazewithJordantheLion i kind of have seen it (the neighborhood), through the eyes of Google Maps, sure it's not a well to do area Jordan, maybe the homes aren't really that expensive already - the fact that the house is located at the end of the block, somewhat isolated from the other homes helps, it's also located adjacent to the freeway, a freeway that probably doesn't help property values either - i guess the real question is who would want to actually live there if the home became available on the market and at what price? We all like looking at something unusual, something creative, then we go back to our homes - maybe it's just me, but, it's not like Christmas, where you can do all the fancy decorating then take it all down after the New Year - none of this however takes away from the artistic genius I see with the homeowner, im just not sure what it does to his and surrounding property values, then again, maybe it doesn't really matter at all - glad you gave us the opportunity to see it up close and personal, great vlog
I’ve been following you a little over a 1 1/2 yrs. and, I just recently discovered your vlogs when you were in EP. I really appreciate all the kind words and comments you had to say about my city! BTW, my brother’s friend (since elementary) grew up in the sugar house. I had to send him the link to this video. There are so many more things I think you could vlog about if you return to EP. Sharon Tate lived in EP and attended Irvin HS (she lived on Roanoke St) which is not too far from the “sugar house”. Debbie Reynolds was born in EP. Maybe you already knew this. I really hope you return to EP! If you do, you need to hit up Cattlemen’s Steakhouse! Take care Jordan!😊
I can't believe this I was watching your vlog on you visiting an old Woolworths and you missed the cutoff of y'all ordering a Hamburger and since I'm I'm Houston I go to Whataburger all the time yummy and watched a Whataburger video of hamburger s then go back to your vlog and your going to ElPaso Texas and you say you wanna try Whataburger lol!!! Were just now getting a In and Out Burger joint I can't wait to try. Shake Shack there building right now next to my Drs office! Funny! Thanks Jordan
I wonder if the inside of the House of Sugar was as ornate as the outside, love the unusual and this deffinatly was unusual, eye catching, not somewhere you would miss Thankyou Jordan, goooodbye 😀 x
That house is unbelievable! As usual, I’m fascinated by such talent. What a great city! I would love to visit Texas someday. Selfishly, I hope you try that burger because I’m curious. I can’t wait to see the new merch!
Loved the House of Sugar. Repurposing of material and his wonderful creativity .El Paso looks like a great place to visit.
I would say The House of Sugar is pure eye candy. An amazing attention to detail. El Paso is going to be fun. 🐎🐂
I live here in El Paso,I used to live one block away from the Sugar House.I remember the real alligators, the city buses would park all around that park for people to board, they got rid of the alligators because they would get sick because people would feed them food and trash
House of sugar is so very sweet! Alot of work and dedication went into that, god bless him.
Cool gators 🐊, Sugar house was beautiful 😎
Wow I used to live in El Paso I lived on Dyer street! I used to go up to Trans mountain and have picnics!
The owner of the house worked at Levi Strauss sewing pockets into denim jeans. Loved seeing parts of El Paso I haven't seen.
Great vlog of the Sugar House and that alligator fountain. Glad the gators are gone. Perfect recipe for disaster. Orlando was very gracious in showing you around town. Nice vlog to get to know El Paso better since a few childhood friends of ours from California came from El Paso Tx. Very sweet and humble friends to this day.

Wow The House of Sugar is so beautiful! Great vlog! 👍
That house is amazing ..!!..so much talent..too bad you weren't able to talk to him..looks like a very historical city..thanx for going here..
The mural with all the boxers is at the Desoto Hotel it was on Ghost Adventures just in case you wanted to know or find out more about it
Wow what a labour of love love it thanks Jordan
Congratulations on the new merchandise!!! You deserve it, you bring so much to all of us. I will try to support you by buying something, right now things are very tight.

Liked when you whistled in the beginning. LOL
I've been to El Paso many times and never seen any of those places! I need to explore more, evidently
You're the best !!!
Jordan at zilker park in Austin behind the concession stand and across from the park train depot is a deep pit back in the 70s there was either one or two alligators in there. It must have been a thing in Texas.

El Paso looks really cool. Maybe I should put in on my bucket list. Have fun and play safe !

So glad you’ve come by my neck of the woods!! I have recently been watching all your videos and when I saw you had made one where I live I just couldn’t pass it up!!

Please Jordan have some hoodie sweatshirts made
We will!
We plan on trying everything, including a stuffed lion and stuffed jah, if possible
I absolutely love the music, however your Jah has stolen my heart. I love all your videos keep rocking Jordon.
I just had to tell you Jordan how much I enjoy watching your videos they are so informative and such a joy to watch I noticed your knowledge of a lot of the older movies and I thought of a couple of old African American movie stars that slip through the cracks of Fame and never got the notoriety that they deserve and all of them passed away in the Los Angeles California area I'll put a link at the bottom and you can check it out and see if you might be interested in doing a vlog or doing some research on them I think you would do a great job .

unfortunately even if the neighbors like it, it kills home values for the homes nearby - just the way it is - the guy is an artistic genius though, takes a lot of time and passion to do something like that, he's a very creative person
