Sun City

-
There are towns named Sun City in South Africa and in the U.S.A. in the states of Arizona, California, Kansas, and Florida.
-
For some reason people who are not originally from El Paso, Texas like to call it the Sun City. Rather than use its real name which recognizes the long and fascinating history at the Pass Of The North, they choose to use a name which can be confused with so many other places.
-
I used to be involved with the Sun City Amateur Radio group, and I am currently a member of the El Paso Astronomy Club which has chosen to call itself the Sun City Astronomers.
-
I'm sure that this is not some sort of hidden xenophobia, rather it is just due to a narrow view and a lack of global and historical perspective.
