This photo is looking east from the north Franklin mountain peak. I saw it somewhat close up waking up the trail but don’t snap a photo until I got to the peak. Looks creepy af and it’s in the middle of a military impact zone. Anyone know what it is? Google had no idea what I was talking about lol.
I started hiking around 5:45am and got there before the sun came over the mountains.
If you got more than one on your list of favorites can you rank them?
Well technically the federal government is hiring more air traffic controllers but the likelihood of you being able to work at the control tower in town is high if you want to come back
El Paso unite!! We need to do the same thing
Stop the data center in El Paso
I’ve lived in the far NE for about 2 years now and while I really enjoy how quiet it is, I don’t love how little convenience there is nearby. It feels like I have to drive for everything, and if you follow FitFam, you already know why I’d rather stay off the roads as much as possible.
I’m trying to figure out where to live long-term here. I’m not originally from El Paso, but this is likely home for me for the next several years, if not longer, so I want to make a smart choice that actually supports my day-to-day life.
I work from home and I’m trying to get out more, so what I’m looking for is pretty simple:
• basic stuff close by (food, coffee, errands)
• not having to get in my car for every little thing
• a place that feels fairly calm and safe
• somewhere that actually makes day-to-day life easier
• close-ish to hiking trails and parks
So far the ONLY area that’s felt even close to that is Cimarron near The Canyons, where things are at least grouped together.
Everywhere else I’ve looked feels like a nice area… but nothing nearby as far as convenience. Or stuff nearby… but not really walkable or convenient... Or just straight up driving for everything, which is what I want to avoid.
Is this accurate, or are there other pockets like Cimarron that I’m missing?
Also open to apartment/condo recommendations if you’ve actually had a good experience living somewhere.
Just trying to figure out if I’m overlooking something or if this is just how El Paso is.
Appreciate the honesty!
Join me and Familias Unidas del Chamizal for the first-ever Festival Chamizal as we celebrate five years since the opening of the Chamizal Community Center & Library.
There will be live performances from Frontera Bugalú bringing their signature high-energy sounds of the frontera, Mariachi Orgullo de Bowie, and the Bowie Bear Drumline. Plus, we’ll have activities for all ages, plenty of ways to connect with neighbors, and a full afternoon of fun. It’s free and open to everyone, so come enjoy!
This space carries a lot of history. Long before it became a community center, it was home to a Levi’s garment factory where many neighbors from Barrio Chamizal worked for years. That legacy is why you’ll see the denim theme throughout the event. It’s a small way to honor the people and stories that helped shape this special community space.
Saturday, April 18
11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

I made this website for you.
It contains verified FACTS about the Meta Data Center here in El Paso.
The site has a quick fact section and a dedicated Meta Data Center page.
It also has a Learn page to understand the basics about Data Centers and AI.
You can use the meeting page to find upcoming City Council Meetings and use the sign up form to speak.
It includes a Local Government page that has links for you to find your District number, and has all of our City Representatives and their contact information.
As information changes, I will update the website so you can stay informed 💪
I am soloing a trip to the El Paso area for the BTS concert May 2-4 and it seems like the only affordable place left to stay is the motel 9 in Las Cruces. The reviews for the place are mixed. Does anyone have any recommendations that don’t include Ciudad Juarez?
TLDR: hit me with your best Mexican & BBQ spots
Dear citizens of El Paso,
I've missed our city since I moved away in childhood 🫶🏼. I miss seeing the Franklin Mountains, the desert sunsets, the chill people and ESPECIALLY the food. I live on the east coast and the Mexican food/BBQ here a slap in the face disgrace lol.
I have spent FOREVER bragging about the delicious Mexican and BBQ food we have to my native east coast hubby 😂. Please give me your best (not too expensive) recommendations on authentic Mexican food to blow his mind! He's especially hopeful to find some tasty enchiladas. Everything here disappoints him as it's always non-spicy and clearly some sad tex-mex fusion.
We're non-drinkers so just looking to grab chill food and explore the few days we're here. We'll mostly be in the West side, but willing to drive to the East side to find the best of the best. The city has truly grown and changed so much I almost don't recognize it!
Let me know what y’all think! Much love ❤️
I had Easter at my house this year and I'm still trying to get rid of the confetti. I'm guessing it'll be sticking around for a while. has anyone used the biodegradable confetti? if so, is it worth it? how long does it stick around? I don't mind having Easter here at my place again next year, but if biodegradable confetti is worth it, I can let my friends/family know to please use that next year.
Hey everyone! I’ve gotta renew my registration, but i haven’t had to do the emissions thing yet, it was still regular inspection last time i did. Where is the best place to take my car? How much is it? Was hoping i could take it somewhere after work. Any good places in NE that would be able to after 5:30?
Thanks!
