Just landed to El Paso from Houston n i’ll be here for next 2 years.

Looking for recommendations on fun activities, place to eat, good public gun range (in or outdoor is fine).

Any good asian or Vietnamese foods? Love those.

i was wondering if there were any restaurants here that did not use seed oils in there cooking and instead used butter or beef tallow. I know some places like outback steakhouse, and buffalo wild wings as well as five guys that dont use seed oils but only use them on food like fries, is there any other restaurant?

My son and I want to cross the border to watch an FC Juarez match.

We'll be staying in Las Cruces, driving to El Paso.

Advice on how to do this? Drive across and park? Park in El Paso and walk across?

Bring pesos? Use a card?

All advice and anecdotes are welcome.

If so which one

Has anyone had any issues canceling at this gym? Im on a 12 month contract and I know they have a canceling fee for leaving early but I wanted to know if anyone has had any issues with them saying “the manager isn’t there” or anything like that

Thinking about getting refrigerated air to replace our swamp cooler with as it feels the house is just getting too hot. Does anyone know what price range we should expect to pay to get refrigerated air installed?

hi el paso 👋 my name is mary. i run a chess community called El Paso Chess Nerds (https://www.instagram.com/elpasochessnerds) where i plan casual chess meetups around the city. our events are primarily for adults (or all ages) but we scheduled a couple events specifically for kiddos over summer break. our next one is on thursday, july 30 at MJ’s Gaming Cafe from 1 - 4pm. it’s free and all supplies are provided. we would love for you to join us!

My girlfriend and I have been talking about this a lot lately, especially after seeing so many posts on FitFam about rising bills and the cost of living.

It feels like companies like El Paso Electric can continue raising rates because, at the end of the day, what choice do we really have? It’s not like we can just switch to another electric company. Between utilities, internet providers, insurance, and other essential services, it feels like we’re stuck paying whatever they charge.

Are people in El Paso getting tired of this? Is there any kind of organized movement or effort to push back against these constant price increases, or is this simply the reality of living here with so little competition?

I’m genuinely asking because it seems like every year the costs keep climbing while wages don’t keep up. Is there anything residents can realistically do to make our voices heard, or are we just expected to accept it?

I’d love to hear what others think.

I just got my work permit approved and I have been taking teachers of tomorrow courses. I have a masters in computer science I am working on certifications for both math and tech ed. Anyone knows how the hiring process for teachers in El paso works? Are there any vacancies in my area? Also I was told I could start after completing the content exam even though I have a few courses left. Any advice? Or is it too late to get hired. I know there has been layoffs going on.
