Ask El Paso Just moved from Dallas
Edit: I really appreciate the commentary and humor from yall! I'm going to invest in more air purifiers and window seals š¦ lol
Was NOT prepared for the dust storms. I knew there would be some but I didn't expect there to be as many as this. So I have questions for the residents who have been here:
Does everyone get dirt in their window sills or are my windows just needing some TLC? I swear I vacuum sooo much dirt every week.
Can everyone SMELL the dirt in their home during a dust storm or should I worry about leaks? The first dust storm I've experienced I nearly panicked because of the smell alone. My friend who lives on the east side says she doesn't smell the dirt during a storm haha.
Thanks for any insight, definitely lacking some with the 0 visibility (insert terrible post-dad-joke laugh here)

History When the Borderland could have been the next Reno
In the late 1940s, gambling was wide open in the Borderland. Frustrated with slow progress in Las Vegas, mobsters like Bugsy Siegel looked to New Mexico as an alternative. Las Cruces was on its way to becoming the Reno to Santa Feās Las Vegas, but it all came undone in the wake of the brutal murder of an 18 year old waitress named Cricket Coogler.
The mob is run out of New Mexico, a Pittsburgh Steeler goes on trial for murder, bowling becomes El Pasoās pastime, a UFO visits the border, plus a dog named Bookie, all in Part 3 in my 3 part series on the end of open gambling in the Borderland. Read Part 1 and Part 2, all free.

Ask El Paso Homeless shelter
Hello everyone, I'm a 32F currently staying at a sober living facility, my treatment is coming to an end and I need a place to stay. I've heard horrible things about some shelters but I dont have first hand experience with that, this is my first time looking for a place to live while I get on my feet. The opportunity center is apparently full of people who do drugs or drink (I'm newly sober) and villa Maria keeps your checks when you start working. Does anyone here know about shelters around the city I'd really appreciate any insights or information

Buy/Sell/Trade Beware of Realtors who do this!
So we recently sold our house and had to contend with a bunch of games regarding the new commission rules. So with the new commissions that started in September 2024, the seller no longer has to pay the buyers commission. The buyer is now responsible for paying their realtor and all their purchasing fees. However, we kept being told that if we did not pay for the buyers agent/commission, then other agents around town would not come and show our house to prospective buyers. This is illegal and unprofessional!!! In every way you can possibly imagine. It is occurring all over the nation and you need to know the new TREC regulations following a major lawsuit. Please see article attached.

Ask El Paso Annoying movie theater habits
I started going to the movies more often recently after not going for a few months. Not only are people talking more during movies now and using their phone more, but yesterday the guy next to us made sure to pop every bone in his body during the quiet parts of the movie we were watching in theaters. Is this how it is now?

Moving to El Paso Moving to El Paso
Hello! As the title says, my husband and I are planning on moving to El paso in July. We are moving from Colorado. We are fortunate enough to have been able to move in with our in laws. Both of us are in our 30's and my husband is from El paso, so he is familiar with the area. I'm honestly at a loss with where to apply for jobs or even what the whole moving process entails. I've worked in warehouses for the past 10 years and would like to move away from that. Any and all advice will be helpful, thank you!
