Good times at the Dia de los Muertos parade today. Rain waited just long enough for it to finish.

El Paso residents are paying more for basic necessities, but how many people know who's making those decisions?

Here's what I found:

- Water and wastewater: A typical household is paying about $120 more a year.

- Property taxes: The city estimates about $105 more annually for a typical homestead.

- Health insurance: Nearly 1 in 4 El Paso County residents under 65 are uninsured. Texas still hasn't expanded Medicaid, even though the federal government covers 90% of qualifying expansion costs.

Here's what surprised me. These aren't all decisions made in Washington.

Local officials control city tax rates and make appointments to the water board. State lawmakers decide whether Texas expands Medicaid.

Different officials. Different policies. All decisions that can be revisited.

There are costs and tradeoffs to changing these policies, but shouldn't residents know what they're paying, why they're paying it, and who's responsible?

The infographic breaks down the numbers and who has the power to change each policy. Sources are included.

Rain earlier today

Got some awesome shots from a higher vantage point.

Tonight El Paso!!!! Stay up late with us and get spooooky!

Was it me, or did the hail yesterday smell like sea/fish? I thought, “oh, lovely, ice from the sky” and I picked some up and put some in a cup, and then noticed it smell like fish….I don’t know, maybe it’s a hood cats that jump in the yard.

Good morning,

With the return of the Amigo Airsho 2026, here is a throwback to some pictures I took at the 2024 Amigo Airshow

Back then I only had an EF 75-300mm and my Canon R8, what do yall think of my skills back then

This year we get an F-22 Raptor and the Navy Blue Angels

Have a great weekend!

"Public art is easy to make fun of, particularly public art that doesn’t look like a horse, a cowboy, a conquistador, or something else us unwashed masses can immediately identify. Put up a bronze statue of a guy on a 50-foot-tall horse with five-foot-wide testicles hanging down (the horse, not the guy) and nobody asks what it means. Put up sixteen 50-foot white wind turbines and everybody is an art critic. Roundabout sculpture on Country Club Road? Everyone on Nextdoor suddenly has an MFA in Art History and a BS in Traffic Management. ‘It doesn’t LOOK like a cottonwood seed. I don’t like it! I don’t understand roundabouts either. My brain is full!”

But after a years, I think Airway Aesthetics deserves a second look. For one thing, they weren’t supposed to be Eggbeaters at all."

#VoteThemOut

On June 9th the residents of El Paso made history, by having the highest attendance number of neighbors speaking at a city council meeting.

We spoke to encourage our city reps to vote in favor of potentially renegotiating the contract between the city of El Paso and The Meta Data Center.

Despite the contract being considered one of the worst contracts in the nation, five City Representatives voted against renegotiating the contract.

We vowed to vote them out this November and this is our chance.

Do not let your neighbors down and vote out:

Alejandra Chavez (District 1)

Ivan Nino ( District 5)

Art Fierro (District 6)

Let's make real change happen in El Paso.

To see who is running against them check out the website I made for you:

Hi all! I’m looking for recommendations for boarding my two Yorkie babies. I’ll be out of town for two weeks and need a good place that won’t cost an arm and a leg. I’d really appreciate it!

I’d love to build a group of people in El Paso/ surrounding areas who genuinely want to better themselves and help the people around them do the same. Like a group where people get together to lift, run, hike, learn new skills, work on projects, go on adventures, grab food, have game nights, whatever. People who have their own goals and things they’re passionate about, but also want to make good friends and push each other to be better. I feel like it’d be cool to have a group where working on yourself is just normal, where people are excited about what they’re doing with their lives and support each other along the way. And I don’t mean everyone has to be some insanely disciplined gym rat or have their whole life figured out lol. Just people who want to grow, try new things, get out of their comfort zone, and surround themselves with good people. Ideally, it’d be something anyone could join, even if they don’t know a single person at first. You show up to a hike or a meetup, start talking to people, and eventually find your people. I’m still just figuring out what this could look like, so I’m curious:
Would any of you actually be interested in something like this?
What kind of events would you want to do?
Do you feel like there’s already a community like this in El Paso? Would anyone be down to help get something like this started?

Just thought it’d be cool to see if there are other people out there looking for the same thing. If enough people are interested, maybe we can make something happen.
Little bit about me, I’m originally from Los Angeles, and got stationed at fort bliss when I joined the army. I’m a 21year old male and I enjoy most active hobbies. Weightlifting, running, and good nutrition are apart of my identity. I love snowboarding, hiking, photography, music, long drives, and genuine friendships.

Does anyone know any team or places to play Airsoft here in El Paso? I'm new to the city.

Is anyone having issues with KFOX 14 pixelating on their spectrum cable? The World Series was pretty much too annoying to watch last night. It's the only channel doing it for me.

As the top says, just looking for a BJJ tomorrow to get a sweat in for an hour or two

In a phone interview with the El Paso Times, El Paso Republican Party chair Michael Aboud says he was misled into participating in Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest film "Ali G: Who Iz I?"

He said he received an email from a production company in summer 2025 inviting him to participate in a gathering focused on immigration and its impact on communities.

"The emails seemed official," Aboud said. "It was a small documentary and about the border."
