It's an area bound by a US Highway and two streets shaped like a triangle. During TheNineties the area had a very high crime rate and was starting to decay. An effort by residents to reform the area and change the name stuck but many in El Paso still call it by the old name.

---> "I drove over the Blue River, which was a brown creek. Red, Blue, Green, yes. But whoever heard of a Brown River?
