Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025. We start today with a big moment for our community as hundreds gathered yesterday for the groundbreaking of the new Fox Cancer Center at Texas Tech Health El Paso near Interstate 10 and Rick Francis Street. After years of planning, major gifts from the Fox and Hunt families, and a $30 million boost from county voters, the groundwork is laid for care that finally means families will not have to leave El Paso for top-tier cancer treatment. Leaders at the event called it a community effort built through teamwork, hope, and the promise of better health for all our neighbors. The center should open its doors by fall 2028 and represents a true turning point for healthcare in the Borderland.

Moving to city hall, the El Paso County Commissioners Court holds a special session this morning, with several items expected to affect everyday life, from road improvements around Montana Avenue to updates on funding for youth mental health services and parks. These sessions are open to the public, and the agenda is posted online for anyone who wants a closer look at decisions shaping our neighborhoods.

Turning to the weather, we are starting the day with cooler temps than last week. Highs near 82 degrees are making outdoor plans more inviting today, but watch for late afternoon winds gusting near Ascarate Park that could stir up some dust. Tonight, skies stay clear, and we head into a mild Friday with no rain in sight, giving the all clear for evening high school football.

On the crime front, El Paso Police have released new details about a tragic shooting late last night in East El Paso, near Montwood Drive. A man was killed and his girlfriend injured when shots rang out at their home. The investigation is ongoing and police urge anyone with information to come forward. Elsewhere, deputies with the County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest after a foot chase on Montana Avenue, ending a string of local burglaries. Meanwhile, authorities report the death of a staffer for Congressman Tony Gonzales in Far East El Paso was found to be accidental, following a thorough investigation.

In business news, The Green Table, a new farm-to-table restaurant, opens its doors this weekend on Mesa Street, bringing fresh ingredients and new jobs downtown. Across town, Fiesta Market on Alameda announced it will close next month, citing rising lease costs. Job openings in El Paso remain steady with around 2200 new listings this week, especially in healthcare and logistics.

Local schools celebrate as Franklin High’s robotics team took first place at the state qualifying round, and Eastwood’s football squad edged past Bel Air in a close 21-20 win last night at Trooper Stadium, sparking big pride across campus. In real estate, average home prices sit just above 250 thousand dollars, and buyers remain active, especially in the Eastlake and Horizon City areas.

Looking ahead, the Chalk the Block festival returns this Saturday downtown, filling San Jacinto Plaza with art, music, and food trucks. Families can also check out the El Paso Zoo’s Fall Fest kicking off Sunday.

We end with a feel-good story: A group of neighbors from the Alameda neighborhood came together to surprise 88-year-old Maria Alvarez with a fully renovated garden, honoring her years of volunteering at the Sacred Heart Community Center. She called it the happiest day of her life.
