このコンテンツについて
As we wake up today, our thoughts are with those impacted by the devastating flash floods just north of us in Ruidoso. El Pasoans like Rebecca Romero and her Big Brothers Big Sisters team barely escaped as the Rio Ruidoso river flooded their hotel. Their gratitude and resilience remind us to appreciate our own safety while we support our neighbors still recovering.
Speaking of weather, expect a warm day with highs pushing the upper 90s. Storms are not likely for us, but if you have plans to travel up towards New Mexico, keep an eye on conditions and avoid flood-prone areas. Major lane closures on Montana and Alameda from Paisano to Yarbrough continue for ongoing roadwork through July 12, so allow extra time for Eastside commutes.
In breaking news, El Paso police are investigating a crash that shut down the turnaround from Gateway South to Gateway North last night near Kenworthy and US-54. A white SUV caught fire under the overpass, drawing bystanders who helped the occupants escape. No injuries have been confirmed yet, and police are still piecing together the events.
On the city hall front, property taxes are top of mind. Officials propose holding the current tax rate, but since the average home value here is jumping from two hundred nine thousand to two hundred twenty-three thousand dollars, most homeowners could pay about one hundred dollars more per year. Council members face tough choices, as eighty percent of our city budget goes to law enforcement. If you have opinions about taxes or services, city leaders urge you to attend upcoming public hearings before the budget vote in August.
There is also a big cultural note: the city approved a temporary closure of several blocks along Mesa between San Antonio and Overland for the One Size Fits All Vintage Summer Smash Block Party. That happens Saturday, July nineteenth from noon to midnight. Expect music, vintage vendors, and food trucks turning downtown into a festival zone.
On the real estate front, home prices continue a slow but steady climb, and in the job market, El Paso’s close relationship with Ciudad Juárez is translating into new opportunities, especially with growth in the computer and medical manufacturing sectors. Local analysts say it’s a good time to look for openings in those fields.
In schools, El Paso ISD celebrates recent recognition of several middle school robotics teams headed to state competitions this month. Their coaches say the students’ hard work and curiosity are shining examples of our city’s future.
Crime reports show an uptick in DWIs and related arrests this week. El Paso police and state troopers are increasing patrols, especially after dark, so let’s all make safe decisions and help keep our roads free of impaired driving.
To end on a high note, our feel-good story comes from Eastwood Heights, where neighbors have teamed up to build a small community garden on Camrose Drive. They’re offering free vegetables to anyone in need and plan to start weekend youth workshops on healthy eating.
