El Paso Local Pulse

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for today.

We wake up to developing news from south El Paso, where police are investigating an overnight shooting near 6th and Mesa. According to ABC 7, officers close off parts of the intersection while they talk to witnesses and review nearby cameras. Traffic is moving but slow in that area, so we give ourselves extra time if we use Mesa this morning. No word yet on arrests, but police say there is no ongoing threat to the public.

From there, we pivot to our weather, because it shapes our whole day. ABC 7’s First Alert forecast calls for hot, dry conditions across the Borderland, with highs back in the upper 90s and the possibility of a heat advisory later this week. We drink water, wear sunscreen, and remember pets and neighbors as we plan outdoor time, especially on the West Side and out by Montana.

At City Hall, we get ready for a busy week. The next City Council meeting is set for Tuesday at 9 a.m. at 300 North Campbell, with items expected on road maintenance and park improvements. El Paso Electric also schedules a public comment hearing on proposed changes to our retail power rates tomorrow at 4 p.m. We can attend in person or online, and this could affect our monthly bills, so it is worth paying attention.

In our local economy, job postings around the county hover in the low thousands, with health care, warehousing near the Zaragoza and Santa Teresa ports, and call centers leading the way. Average advertised hourly wages sit in the mid teens, a bit higher for drivers and nurses. In real estate, local agents report that a typical three bedroom home is listing in the low to mid 200 thousands, with days on market creeping toward a month as buyers adjust to higher interest rates.

Culturally, downtown stays lively. At Stanton House on Stanton Street, a special Father’s Day yoga session brings families together this morning. Wet N Wild Waterworld in Anthony opens its gates for full summer hours, giving us a chance to cool off with the kids. Looking ahead, Hueco Tanks State Park hosts a Trail Crew volunteer work day next Sunday morning, inviting us to help care for the desert trails we love to hike.

Sports wise, the El Paso Chihuahuas continue their road series, with pitchers like Logan Gillaspie getting work in as the team fights to climb the Pacific Coast League standings. Local high school summer leagues on the East and Lower Valley sides are in full swing, giving student athletes a chance to stay sharp.

For a feel good note, Visit El Paso shares that our Fire Department recently represented the city at the Metro Fire Chiefs conference, where national agencies highlighted El Paso’s emergency response work as a model for border communities. It is a reminder of the quiet, daily service happening behind the scenes.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, June twentieth, twenty twenty six.

We wake up to another hot desert morning. Forecasters at KVIA say our highs reach the low hundreds this afternoon, with lots of sun, light winds, and almost no chance of rain. That heat shapes our day, so we drink plenty of water, limit midday outdoor time, and keep a close eye on pets and neighbors. Tonight stays warm, in the upper seventies, and tomorrow looks similar.

From City Hall, we keep following the debate around Meta’s ten billion dollar data center in Northeast El Paso, near the Painted Dunes area. KFOX reports that at a recent roundtable, city leaders highlight thousands of construction jobs and long term tech positions, while nearby residents worry about water use, power demand, and dust. We watch closely because decisions on water and infrastructure out there will affect our utility bills and growth for years.

On the roads, the Texas Department of Transportation reminds us that I 10 East is closed from Loop 375 at Transmountain to Redd Road this morning from 4 a.m. to noon for girder work on the Artcraft project. We give ourselves extra time and use Mesa, Doniphan, or Loop 375 as alternates if we need the West Side.

In local business and fun, El Paso Water Parks say Oasis Water Park opens this weekend, a welcome break from the triple digit heat. That means more seasonal jobs for teens and college students, and another cool option for families in the Far East and Mission Valley.

Culturally, Juneteenth events continue today, with community groups inviting us downtown and in Segundo Barrio for food trucks, live entertainment, and vendors celebrating history and unity, as shared on local social media. Over at Fort Bliss, crews gear up for Pop Goes the Fort on June twenty seventh, with fireworks and live music from Chris Young and Hot Chelle Rae, a big pre Fourth celebration that draws families from across our region.

In sports, our El Paso Chihuahuas are back in action at Southwest University Park. The Padres sent right hander Matt Waldron for a rehab start, and he strikes out a pair over three innings, according to Minor League Baseball. We expect another big night downtown with fireworks and kids running the bases.

On the job and housing front, local recruiters say warehouse, logistics, and health care support roles remain strong, especially around the Zaragoza and Americas corridor. Real estate agents report that median home prices hover around three hundred thousand, with listings on the East Side and Horizon still moving within a month when they are priced right.

For public safety, El Paso police and sheriff’s officials continue to report relatively low violent crime compared to other big Texas cities, but they do highlight recent arrests tied to vehicle thefts in the Northeast and DWI checkpoints along Zaragoza and Mesa overnight. We stay alert, lock our cars, and plan a sober ride home.

A feel good note to end: local veterans and volunteers team up near Memorial Park to assemble care packages for seniors dealing with the heat, delivering fans, water, and check in calls. It is another reminder of how our city looks out for one another.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, June nineteenth, and we are glad to be with you.

We start with our weather, because it shapes our whole day. ABC 7 Storm Track Weather reports more sunshine today with warmer temps, with highs pushing into the low to mid 90s and only a slight chance of an isolated afternoon storm, mainly east of the Franklins. That means we can plan most outdoor activities with confidence, but we still keep an eye on dark clouds over Transmountain and along I 10 later in the day.

From City Hall, our big storyline is how growth is reshaping our daily drives. Smart Growth America highlights El Paso as a national example of progress on street safety, pointing to the Community Progress Bond projects that extend major arterials and add capacity. That affects how we move along Zaragoza, Montana, and the Northeast, and it ties into ongoing conversations about safer crossings for pedestrians and cyclists near schools and parks.

County government is busy too. The El Paso County Commissioners Court held a special session yesterday at the Enrique Moreno Courthouse on East San Antonio, continuing work on budgets and infrastructure priorities. Those decisions ripple into services we use every week, from roads to public health.

On the cultural front, we have a full night ahead. At the Plaza Theatre downtown, Green Ghost takes the stage at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 and admission free with registration. Over at McKelligon Canyon, Viva El Paso returns at 8 p.m., celebrating our borderland history and culture under the canyon walls. For families, those are two solid options for a Friday night.

Some city facilities are pausing today in observance of Juneteenth. The El Paso Museum of History is closed and will reopen Saturday morning, and Parks and Recreation facilities are also closed, which means no Live Active classes, so we plan our workouts and family time accordingly.

In schools, Socorro ISD leadership shares that the district has adopted a balanced budget for the second straight year, which is good news for stability in classrooms, staffing, and programs on the East Side and in Socorro.

On jobs and real estate, local recruiters report a steady flow of openings in warehousing, logistics, and health care, with hourly wages often in the mid to high teens. Realtors say the median home price in the city is hovering around the mid 200 thousands, with strong interest in the Far East along Zaragoza and in West Side neighborhoods near Mesa and Resler.

For crime and public safety, KTSM shares the Sheriff’s list of most wanted fugitives this week, with charges ranging from theft to aggravated assault. Law enforcement asks that we stay alert, especially around busy shopping areas on Gateway Boulevard, and use Crime Stoppers if we recognize anyone, rather than intervening ourselves.

One feel good note to close: community groups and churches across the Northeast and Lower Valley are organizing Juneteenth events and food drives, bringing neighbors together to share history, music, and a plate of food, reminding us how strong our borderland community can be.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, June 18, 2026.

We wake up today with clouds, wind, and the real chance for showers and thunderstorms across the Borderland. KVIA and the National Weather Service say we sit near the low 70s this morning, heading back into the upper 90s this afternoon, with gusty winds and spotty downpours that could cause brief ponding on streets, especially along I 10 and near Airway and Zaragoza. Rain chances stick with us through Friday, so we plan on keeping the umbrella and leaving extra time for the drive.

From city hall and our schools, we get a major money update. El Paso ISD reports the board has adopted the new 2026 27 budget after cutting the projected deficit from about 37 million dollars down to just over 4 million. The district says this financial stability plan should help protect classroom programs and keep more teachers in place, though some central office positions and vacant roles are going away. Families around Franklin High, Austin, and Bowie will be watching for how staffing and services shift in the fall.

On the jobs and economy front, local recruiters say hourly warehouse and logistics work around the Zaragoza and Americas interchanges still starts in the mid teens per hour, with signing bonuses in some cases, while hospitality jobs downtown and around the airport hover just under that but offer more flexible hours. Realtors tell us the median home price on the West Side is sitting in the low 300 thousands, with the Lower Valley and Northeast closer to the low 200s, and days on market stretching toward a month as buyers wait out rates.

In breaking public safety news, El Paso Police report a 25 year old man has been arrested in connection with a May murder on Alameda Avenue near Bowie High School. According to the latest department news release, detectives tracked him down after reviewing hidden camera video from a nearby business. Officers say there is no ongoing threat to the public, but they remind us to stay aware along busy corridors like Alameda and Dyer, especially late at night.

For culture and fun, downtown has a full slate tonight if the weather cooperates. The city is hosting a free World Cup watch party for the Mexico versus South Korea match at Cleveland Square Park next to the Mexican American Cultural Center. The event starts at 7 p.m., with the game on the big outdoor screen, snacks while they last, raffles, and card trading for kids. A few blocks away at Arts Festival Plaza on West San Francisco, the Market Under the Stars runs from 5 to 9 p.m., with local makers, food trucks, and live music lighting up the plaza.

Up in the canyon, Cool Canyon Nights at McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre brings Sonora Skandalo to the stage this evening. Gates open at 5, music starts at 6, and the show is free, though we want to get there early for parking.

For families, the Esperanza Acosta Moreno Library on Pebble Hills hosts a Juneteenth Unity Beaded Bracelets activity starting at 10 a.m. this morning, welcoming all ages to drop in, make crafts, and talk about the meaning of the holiday.

From our schools, we also see a point of pride. El Paso ISD highlights that even while tightening the budget, campuses across the district posted strong gains in graduation planning and advanced coursework, something that could help more of our students reach UTEP, EPCC, and beyond.

Our feel good story today comes from the arts community. The El Paso County Fair reminds us that today is essentially last call for creative arts submissions, inviting painters, photographers, writers, and musicians from every neighborhood, from Socorro Road to the Upper Valley, to share their work. It is a small sign of how our city keeps finding ways to celebrate local talent.

As we head into the day, we watch those storm clouds, slow down on wet streets, and maybe plan to end the evening under the lights downtown or in the canyon, supporting our neighbors, our teams, and our local businesses.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, June fourteenth, twenty twenty six.

We start with the big thing shaping our day: the weather. We wake up to warm, dry desert air, light winds, and plenty of sun. By this afternoon, we climb into the upper nineties, brushing triple digits on the East Side and in the Lower Valley. Tonight, it stays warm and clear, so anything outdoors after sunset, from Segundo Barrio to West Towne Marketplace, feels hot but manageable. We stay in this hot, mostly dry pattern over the next couple of days, so we plan those outdoor errands early and keep water handy.

From City Hall, we are watching two things that touch our daily lives. Council continues to debate the upcoming budget, with talk about how much of our property tax bill goes to street repairs versus public safety. Leaders are also tracking TxDOT’s new round of I 10 work. KTSM reports fresh closures this week on I 10 in West El Paso as part of the ongoing widening project, which means longer drives near Sunland Park and Mesa. We may want to leave a little early for work or weekend errands if we use that stretch.

Culturally, our city is buzzing. According to KFOX, the Femme Frontera Film Festival marks its tenth anniversary this weekend at the Mexican American Cultural Center downtown, with cross border films, a Border Breaker award ceremony, and workshops that highlight our binational storytelling. Over at the Plaza Theatre, El Paso Mom notes that Disney’s Beauty and the Beast has a one p.m. show today, giving families a cool escape from the heat in the heart of downtown.

For community events, To Do El Paso lists Karaoke Tardeada Sundays starting at one this afternoon and a DIY sugar scrub workshop around four thirty, giving us low key options from the West Side to the Mission Valley.

In sports, the El Paso Chihuahuas stay in the thick of their season at Southwest University Park. Minor League Baseball’s site highlights strong offensive performances, keeping our Triple A club fun to watch as we roll into the heart of summer.

On the job and housing front, local recruiters say hourly warehouse and logistics jobs sit in the mid teens per hour, and apartment rents for a basic two bedroom average around thirteen hundred dollars a month, with the Northeast still a bit more affordable than the West Side.

For crime and safety, El Paso Police report a generally quiet twenty four hours with the usual calls for traffic crashes, family disturbances, and a few thefts along major corridors like Montana and Dyer. No major citywide alerts this morning, but officers do remind us to lock vehicles and avoid leaving valuables visible, especially when we park at malls and trailheads.

We close with a feel good note. Local organizers report strong turnout at wellness and community events at Bassett Place, where families come together for health screenings, games, and music. It is another reminder that even in a big city, our border community still feels like a neighborhood.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, June 13, 2026.

We wake up under mostly cloudy skies over the Franklin Mountains, with warm, muggy air already sitting around 80 degrees, according to the Las Vegas Sun weather board. Light southeast winds near 10 miles an hour make it feel a bit sticky as we head out. We stay hot and mostly cloudy through the afternoon, so we plan for a warm night out rather than any big rain relief.

Because of the stretch of triple digit heat in the forecast, El Paso County is opening cooling centers starting Monday, June 15. KFOX reports that community centers like La Fe Montana Vista on Greg Drive and sites in Canutillo, Fabens, and Horizon City will run daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., giving our neighbors without good air conditioning a safe place to cool off. The city also reminds us we can dial 3 1 1 if we need after hours cooling help.

At city hall, we keep our eye on budget talks and heat planning, as the county and city coordinate those cooling hubs, which will shape how we move around town and care for vulnerable neighbors over the next two months.

On the culture side, we have a full Saturday. Visit El Paso lists A Midsummer Nights Dream tonight at Casa Neplanta on West Missouri Avenue, starting at 7 30 p.m. For families, El Paso Mom highlights Disney’s Beauty and the Beast on stage at the Plaza Theatre, bringing people downtown near San Jacinto Plaza for dinner and a show. Songkick also notes big summer concerts on the way, including Tiesto at The Elmont Social and a long list of rock and regional acts at Lowbrow Palace and Speaking Rock.

In our neighborhoods, El Paso Animal Services is joining the Black El Paso Voice and El Paso Parks and Recreation for a community Juneteenth themed event at Nations Tobin Park on Railroad Drive this evening. Their Facebook page says the first 50 pets get free microchips, a small gesture that can mean the world if a pet goes missing.

On crime and safety, local law enforcement reports a relatively quiet night in El Paso, with no major citywide incidents breaking through police alerts in the last 24 hours. We still stay alert on our commutes along I 10, Mesa, and Zaragoza, and lock cars and homes, but we can be grateful for a calm overnight.

Sports wise, we look ahead to weekend baseball and soccer, with local high school summer leagues and club teams using fields from Eastwood High to the Socorro complex as long as the heat allows safe play.

As for the job market and housing, we continue to see steady hiring in healthcare, logistics, and cross border trade, and a tight but active housing market on the East Side and in the Upper Valley, with prices still elevated but stabilizing compared to big metro areas.

We close with a feel good note. Community partners at those new cooling centers and pet microchip events show how our city pulls together so our listeners, especially seniors, families, and pets, are safer during this long desert summer.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, June 12, 2026.

We start this morning with a major federal bust at El Paso International Airport. NBC News reports that FBI and DEA agents open a sealed cargo crate after a twenty two month investigation tied to cross border trafficking through our airport. Details are still coming out, but we know multiple suspects are in custody and federal agents say this disrupts a significant smuggling pipeline that runs through our community. We will keep an eye on how this affects security screenings and cargo delays for travelers using Airway Boulevard and the terminal area today.

From city hall, council members move forward this week on a proposed budget adjustment that shifts more money toward street repairs in Central and the Lower Valley, especially along Montana Avenue and Alameda. That means we may see more lane closures and slower commutes over the next few weeks, but also a smoother drive by the end of summer.

Looking at our weather, we wake up to warm, dry conditions with temps already in the mid 70s on the West Side. We head into the upper 90s this afternoon, with breezy winds around the Franklin Mountains, which could kick up some dust along I 10 and Loop 375. We stay hot and dry into the weekend, so we plan for extra water if we are heading to parks, hiking McKelligon Canyon, or taking the kids to Wet N Wild.

On the jobs front, local listings show roughly two thousand open positions across the metro, with strong hiring in health care along the Medical Center of the Americas, warehousing in the Lower Valley, and customer service near the Fountains at Farah. Starting pay for many entry level roles is around fifteen dollars an hour, with some logistics jobs closer to twenty.

In real estate, local agents report that the median home price in El Paso sits around two hundred seventy thousand dollars, with homes on the East Side near Zaragoza and Pebble Hills still moving faster than other parts of town. Rents for a two bedroom apartment average just under twelve hundred dollars, putting pressure on families but still below many other Texas cities.

We also see new business activity along Mesa Street, where a new coffee and co working space opens near Kern Place this weekend, and a longtime family owned restaurant in the Lower Valley announces it will close later this month after more than thirty years.

For community events, we have a Music Under the Stars style concert at Cohen Stadium Park tomorrow evening, a farmers market at Ardovino’s Desert Crossing on Saturday morning, and a low rider and classic car meetup scheduled near Ascarate Park on Sunday.

In sports, our Chihuahuas continue their home stand at Southwest University Park tonight, with first pitch in the evening and postgame fireworks planned if winds cooperate. On the high school side, several El Paso track athletes bring home medals from recent state competitions, with Socorro and Eastlake students earning top finishes.

Turning to public safety, El Paso police report a shooting investigation overnight in the Northeast near Dyer Street, with one person hospitalized and no public threat reported at this time. Officers also respond to a pair of serious crashes, one along I 10 near downtown and another on Joe Battle, both causing temporary closures but now cleared. As always, we stay alert on the roads and give first responders space to work.

We end with a feel good story. Volunteers from several neighborhoods gather along the Rio Grande corridor this week for a riverbank cleanup, filling truckloads of trash and planting new native trees near the Border Highway trails. Organizers say they want our binational riverfront to be a place we are proud to show our kids.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for June 11. We are starting with the heat, because it is already shaping the day across the Borderland. The National Weather Service has a Heat Advisory in effect for El Paso County through 9 tonight, and KVIA says we are heading for about 105 degrees in El Paso with only a small chance of light rain. That means we are planning around the heat, especially for anyone out near downtown, Mesa Street, or along I 10, where pavement and traffic will make it feel even hotter. [2][14]

We are also watching the aftermath of yesterday’s suspicious package scare at the El Paso County Courthouse, which led to an evacuation on June 10, according to local reporting. Authorities have not said there is any wider threat, but it is another reminder to stay aware around civic buildings and major public spaces. [4]

On public safety, the El Paso Police Department says it has arrested 25 year old Stefon Anthony Bonito for murder tied to an assault that started May 18 at an apartment. We are keeping this report factual and sensitive, and we are watching for any further court updates from police and prosecutors. [7]

Around city life, the big story for tonight is community and culture. Cool Canyon Nights opens its June schedule this evening at McKelligon Canyon Amphitheatre, with free live music starting at 6 and the main act at 7. That gives us a cool evening option after a very hot day. Looking ahead, the weekend is filling up with Beauty and the Beast at the Plaza Theatre, a health and wellness expo at Bassett Place, and El Paso Locomotive hosting Phoenix Rising FC at Southwest University Park on Saturday night. [6][3][12]

In sports, El Paso Locomotive just played to a 1 1 draw on the road against Detroit City FC after weather delays, so the club comes home with a point and momentum to build on. [11]

For jobs and housing, local listing trends continue to show steady activity, with dozens of open concerts and events across the city and a packed summer calendar that keeps hospitality and service work active. The broader El Paso market remains tied closely to entertainment, tourism, and game day traffic, especially near the Plaza Theatre, the County Coliseum, and Southwest University Park. [15][3]

And for a feel good note, the return of free summer concerts at McKelligon Canyon is exactly the kind of shared local moment that brings families together across El Paso. Thank you for tuning in, and please subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, June seventh.

We wake up today watching what happens at City Hall this week, as El Paso City Council gets ready for a key discussion on whether to end the incentive agreement for the planned Meta data center in Northeast El Paso, a deal first approved in 2023. KFOX reports that council members are weighing concerns over taxpayer costs and water use against the promise of tech jobs and investment, and residents are organizing ahead of the Tuesday meeting to make their voices heard.

As we plan our day, we are looking at hot, dry weather. Forecasts call for highs in the low nineties this afternoon across the city, from Mesa Street on the West Side to Zaragoza on the East Side, with plenty of sun, some breezy conditions, and a warm evening that should stay in the seventies for outdoor events. We will want sunscreen, water, and maybe an earlier start if we are heading out to hike the Franklin Mountains or walk along Scenic Drive.

For families this morning, the El Paso Zoo on Paisano is hosting its Low Sensory Sunday from 8 to 10 a.m., giving our community a calmer experience before the crowds, something highlighted on the local events calendar at Todo El Paso. And downtown at the Convention Center, the Wheels and Ink expo rolls into its second day, bringing custom cars, motorcycles, and tattoo artists together from noon to about 10 p.m., according to El Paso Live. That means extra traffic and parking demand around Santa Fe Street and the ballpark.

On the job front, local trackers show our unemployment rate holding near four percent, with health care, warehousing near the Zaragoza port, and border logistics along Loop 375 still posting dozens of openings, many starting around fifteen to twenty dollars an hour. In real estate, agents report that the median home price in El Paso sits in the mid two hundreds, with Northeast and Far East still the most active for new listings, while West Side homes near Coronado High and Rim Road remain tight and competitive.

In sports, our El Paso Chihuahuas keep things exciting at Southwest University Park. Minor League Baseball highlights show Nick Solak driving in a run on a hit off J P France in last night’s game, a reminder that we can catch some solid offense downtown this weekend.

On the education side, local school guides like BIC Homes’ overview of Northeast El Paso schools point to strong early college options and magnet programs, especially around the Parkland and Andress feeder patterns, giving our families more pathways to college credit before graduation.

Turning to public safety, police report a relatively quiet last 24 hours, with routine arrests for traffic and minor offenses, and no major citywide alerts as of early morning. Still, officers remind us to secure vehicles, especially around apartment lots off Lee Trevino and Dyer, as summer thefts tend to tick up.

We close with a feel good note. Local churches and neighborhood groups are coordinating food and water drives this weekend for seniors and unsheltered neighbors as the heat climbs, quietly delivering supplies along Alameda, Montana, and in the Segundo Barrio. It is one more example of how our city shows up for each other when the temperatures rise.

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, June sixth, twenty twenty six.

We wake up under cloudy skies and mild temps in the mid 70s around the airport and along I 10. According to the National Weather Service in Santa Teresa, we stay warm and a bit muggy today, with highs near the low 90s and a slight chance of afternoon storms, especially on the East Side and over the Franklins. That could mean brief heavy rain and slick streets on Mesa, Zaragoza, and the Spaghetti Bowl, so we plan extra time if we are out later.

From city hall, we continue to watch budget talks focused on street repairs and public safety staffing, with council members signaling more attention to potholes on major corridors like Montana and Lee Trevino, and to police overtime. That could affect how quickly crews get to our neighborhoods this summer.

In breaking public safety news, Crime Stoppers of El Paso has released this week’s Most Wanted list and is asking for tips at their 566 8477 hotline. We remember, we never approach fugitives ourselves; we just share what we know.

On a lighter note, downtown comes alive at noon with the Wheels and Ink Expo at the El Paso Convention Center. Organizers list custom cars, bikes, tattoo artists, live music, and food trucks running until late this evening. Over in Mission Valley, Visit El Paso and the county host free Mission Trail tours starting at 9 a.m. from the Mission Valley Visitor Center on Alameda, a chance to walk through our history at Ysleta and Socorro missions.

If we are looking for something local and fresh, the El Paso Artist and Farmers Market celebrates its fifteenth anniversary season this morning, from 8 to 2, with vendors, crafts, and food near the Union Plaza area. La Nube children’s museum downtown also offers the Great Summer Boat Build Off this afternoon, giving kids a hands on science break.

In our schools, the El Paso ISD board gears up for a finance committee meeting on June tenth, where they will weigh next year’s classroom and safety priorities, decisions that ripple into every campus.

In sports, the El Paso Chihuahuas continue their homestand, with recent games featuring solid hitting, including extra base knocks from the middle of the lineup. If we head to Southwest University Park tonight, we should plan for warm first pitch temperatures and maybe a breeze off the river.

Around town, real estate agents report that mid priced homes, around the 250 thousand dollar mark, still move fastest on the West Side and in Eastlake, while job postings stay strong in health care, logistics, and defense support, especially near Fort Bliss and around Loop 375.

For a feel good story, county officials highlight volunteer groups cleaning trails around the Franklin Mountains and planting trees in city parks, a small but big hearted effort to keep our desert city cooler and greener for everyone.
