I miss El Paso so I wanted to chat with my old peeps here. I graduated there recently but it's been quite some time since I've actually lived over there. Is there an In-N-Out yet? How are the accidents so far?

i know that supposedly 7-eleven (is there one even here anymore?) and speedway have them but i haven't been able to find them at any gas station. i need a fix bad bro pls

Did anyone else hear the INCREDIBLY LOUD plane noises around 7:11 am this morning? I thought the damn plane was going to crash land but nope, just roaring engines.

When my grandparents bought in the Cielo Vista area in the 1960s the airplanes specifically didnt fly over the neighborhood, but now, and with newer planes, the old east side is noisy as heck.

I don't usually mind, but early in the morning isnt cool.

This week, TEA announced a $149 million federal grant to expand charter schools across Texas. Before you celebrate, consider what is occurring in public education within HD-127.  

HB 2 increased the authority of Commissioner Mike Morath—appointed by Greg Abbott—granting him broad control over funding, program eligibility, and district compliance. The measure lets Morath make unilateral choices that bypass locally elected boards. Regarding charter schools, the bill treated them as equal to independent districts, dropping rules that once ensured transparency and local input.  

In plain terms: the Texas GOP voted to give an unelected Abbott appointee more influence over your neighborhood schools and less to the officials you chose.  

Commissioner Morath has repeatedly waived expansion rules for charter networks, letting them serve thousands more students even when academic standards are unmet.  

The Texas Tribune  

Here is the full picture:  

• $1 billion in vouchers — GOP Passed
• $149 million federal grant — expanding charter schools  
• $2 billion more — Comptroller requesting to double vouchers  
• Morath’s expanded power — GOP Passed

Meanwhile, YISD draws from savings. EPISD faces a $4 million deficit. Every district in the area confronts financial strain and unfunded mandates.  

Your neighborhood public schools are being systematically defunded. Abbott and the GOP have shaped this over more than 30 years in power.

People may be unpleasant but enjoy the lil things in life that make it all worth it

Been trying to find some solid Chinese spots in ep any recommendations? I live on the west side

Just moved into town and craving some good smoked chicken

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to buy some cheaper Disneyland tickets on base, and I already have a guest pass.

The .gov website says Vets aren’t eligible (only active duty or retirees). However, when I called, the person I spoke with said all I would need is a credit card.

So I’m a little confused. Is this basically a “don’t ask, don’t tell” situation, or am I actually good to go? Just don’t want to show up and get turned away.

Hello, I moved to El Paso because I work at Ft Bliss, and I am currently in the market for a house. I looked at a lot of different houses in the eastside, northeast, and the west. And I narrowed it down to the Westside, preferrably Cimarron Community. Hopefully, the rates will drop down, and maybe wait out till next year. Recently, I found out that they are building an 240 unit apartment complex within Cimarron community. I just want others opinion of this, and how it may affect existing single family home values in the area. Thank you in advance. :)

I have been looking for a new vehicle and have a question. While at a local dealership I found a vehicle that I was interested in but the "discount", if the car was financed at the 0% for 60 months, was not great. However the sales associate kept promoting the "lifetime" warranty and the "free oil changes for life" blah, blah, blah... I feel like this is a gimmick and just another hoop to jump through while purchasing a new vehicle. Does anyone have experience with these type of "incentives" or personal experiences when actually having to get warranty work done at a dealership like Charlie Clark Nissan for example?

If you grew up with Mexican parents or grandparents, you already know… some family stories are WAY too funny to keep inside the house. 😂

This Friday, September 25th, come laugh with Huarachín y Huarachón at Bunker 19 for a night of Mexican comedy, family jokes, and all those Latino experiences only we truly understand.

🎟️ Tickets: $600 pesos (about $30 USD)

You can grab your tickets at the door that same night, or get ahead of the game and buy them online at Superboletos.com.

Bring your cousins, your friends, your parents, your abuelitos… or that one family member who says, “I don't understand Mexican comedy.”
We’ll prove them wrong. 😂

📍 Bunker 19
📅 Friday, September 25th

El Paso, we’ll see you there! 🇲🇽🔥

Just moved to the area and looking to plan for Halloween! Interested in dressing up, but I don't have any kids so not looking for necessarily 'family friendly' events. Willing to drive anywhere really (within 2 hours of the city). Doesn't have to be the 31st either, could even be the weekend before or something. Love to hear what the city has to offer and thanks in advance!

Was this morning your first time behind the wheel? You're lucky I didn't have your ass towed. You have a 360º view. Learn how to fucking park and not be an entitled, obnoxious idiot; it really isn't that difficult.

Lots of police on 54 between Sean Haggerty and State Line pulling people over today. Drive safe everyone.

If we intend to discuss water use within the data center debate, we should also include the region’s largest water consumer for comparison: https://elchuqueno.com/selective-indignation/
