Listen Later

Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, November 30, 2024.

We start with breaking news: a single vehicle crash overnight sent one person to the hospital with serious injuries. The incident occurred on the eastbound lanes of Mesa Street near Paragon Lane. Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the injured individual[1].

In other news, the City of El Paso is marking Small Business Saturday today, inviting the community to shop local at The Market at WinterFest. This annual event supports local businesses and encourages residents to explore the unique offerings in our city[1].

On the job market front, there have been no major hiring announcements in the past few days. However, Texas Tech Health El Paso recently announced a partnership with UTHealth Houston to enhance research funding and workforce development, which could lead to new job opportunities in the healthcare sector[1].

Moving to real estate, the City of El Paso recently approved a multi-family housing development project in downtown El Paso, which is expected to bring new residential units to the area. Additionally, demolition of the former site of Naked Harem is set to begin next week, making way for potential new developments[2].

From City Hall, the El Paso City Council voted to increase benefits for those retiring from the El Paso Fire Department and El Paso Police Department, a decision that will impact the lives of our city's first responders[2].

Weather-wise, today is expected to be sunny with a high of 66 degrees, making it a perfect day to get out and enjoy the holiday festivities. However, we remind everyone to stay safe and cautious, especially with increased traffic and pedestrian activity[3].

In new business activity, The Salvation Army has been hard at work preparing for the holiday season, and Operation Noel is once again providing coats to children in need. These are just a few examples of the community spirit that makes El Paso so special[2].

Looking ahead to community events, the holiday season is in full swing, with various events and activities planned across the city. The El Paso Christmas light show has returned to the Loya house, and local organizations are offering free Thanksgiving meals to those in need[3].

In local school achievements, EPCC student Daniel Dominguez won the Top Crown at the Mister Teen Universe International Pageant in the Teen Category, a remarkable achievement that we are proud to highlight[2].

On a feel-good note, residents gathered at Lincoln Park to bear gifts for sick children who won’t be home for the holidays, a heartwarming display of community compassion[2].

Finally, in today's crime report, the El Paso Police Department’s Special Traffic Investigation unit responded to a fatal crash in Northeast El Paso, and one person was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after a crash near Ft. Bliss. We urge everyone to drive safely and responsibly, especially during the holiday season[1][2].
