The Daily Mail sent a reporter to Juarez to see how the city has been doing since the drug war began. High profile crimes have gone down by 95-98% in the city. The reporter went to visit a part of the city once considered 'Murder Valley'. It almost looked like a ghost town.

Two residents who appeared in the video shared horrific stories. One said, 'You get used to seeing dead bodies in the street.' Another man said that he heard his kidnapped daughter being raped over the phone.

According to the story 60,000 residents used to live in the area but as of today only 5,000 are left. Recently the Rockefeller Foundation named Juárez among the world's 100 resilient cities. The cities on the list were named because they were able to overcome big setbacks.

I enjoy going to festivals and events in Juarez. I have family members that live and work in the city and they enjoy it. The government has shown they want to build more things for families and the community in general.

I love going across the bridge to eat and hang out. The people I have encountered have always been nice and friendly. Minus that one time I got in trouble and went to jail but that can happen in any city not just Juarez.
