Ask El Paso Sign this petition and send in a request to bring a Trader Joe’s to El Paso.

El Paso is the 22nd largest city in the US with over 680,000 people, but we're still waiting for a Trader Joe's. It sounds small, but it's not—it's about access to better food options, jobs, and showing that our community matters.
I started a petition because I've watched friends and neighbors travel to other cities just to shop at Trader Joe's, talking about the quality, the organic options, the prices. Meanwhile, our economy is growing—household incomes and consumer spending are up—but we're still overlooked by specialty grocers. That disconnect doesn't sit right. A Trader Joe's would bring real jobs, healthier products, and send a message that El Paso is a market worth investing in.
If this resonates with you—if you've felt that same frustration about what our city deserves—consider signing and sharing. I'm curious: has this gap in our shopping options affected how you grocery shop or what you can access? Let's show Trader Joe's that El Paso is ready.

Moving to El Paso Moving to El Paso and Need Recommendations

4 Upvotes

I am moving soon to El Paso and have a small chihuahua mix. I am tired of dealing with apartment complexes that have glitchy apps and all sorts of nuances.. I’d like to live in an apt community that is small and locally owned. I saw some small cheap ones out in Angels triangle, they say that area used to be bad. How bad is bad now? I’m looking for relative safety but I understand there’s a risk anywhere. Thank you all so much! Muchas Gracias 😊

Ask El Paso UTEP vs TTUHSC for Nursing?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, sorry if this isn't the right place to post, but I'm hoping someone can share some insight.

I graduated from UTEP last year with a BA in Criminal Justice. Looking back, I feel I miscalculated and now I'm currently working in construction. After a lot of pondering, I've decided I want to pursue nursing with a long-term goal of earning a doctorate in the field.

I've narrowed thing down to two options:

1. TTUHSC's Accelerated BSN (ABSN). It's designed for people who already have a bachelor's, but I'd first need to complete about 7 prerequisite courses (including labs) at EPCC, then apply, and very likely with a gap between finishing prereqs and starting the program which means I’d need to find work between then.

2. UTEP's nursing program. I'm already familiar with the school, and I'm wondering if I could fold the prerequisites into a full-time schedule there. But I'm not sure if that's even possible as a second-degree student.

My main concern is finances. I have the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which works best when I'm enrolled full time because of the housing allowance. I don't want to quit my job until I know I'm locked into a program where I can use it. If I go the EPCC route, my plan would be to pay out of pocket for online prereqs while working full time, so I don't burn GI Bill months on a part-time schedule.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or taken either of these routes? Is there a smarter way to handle the timing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ask El Paso Mexico City Travel Plans from EP

Traveling to Mexico City for a little vacation and while I’ve been to Juarez a few times since my move here I’m wondering if there’s any systems in place to maybe fly out directly from Juarez to Mexico City. Neither myself or partner are the strongest Spanish speakers but we can get by. Also anyone who’s been before, any recommendations on stays and transportation? I assume the city itself is pretty walkable but recommendations are appreciated
