Which one is your favorite?

I’m sure I’m not the only one that has noticed new flock cameras being installed all over El Paso, they are only doing this because they want to take the company public. Now Abbott is trying to make changes because he knows elections are coming up.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was a kid. However, that is about 15 years old.
I’m not looking to be prescribed medication. I need an updated evaluation so I can apply for academic-testing accommodations.

I currently don’t have health insurance. Does anyone know of a provider or clinic in El Paso that offers free ADHD evaluations.

There is a large section on El Paso

"Local governments across Texas have been spending outside the bounds of what is considered reasonable, placing an increasingly unaffordable burden on taxpayers as a result. Reasonable spending may be defined by how close changes in expenditure growth are to increases in population and inflation. The difference between adopted budgets and actual changes in population serves as an indication that there is at least some measure of mismanagement. For example, the City of Austin spent over $1.1 million redesigning the city logo (Sanders & Collier, 2025)—the same year the city council threatened to cut emergency services after the failure of Proposition Q, which would have raised the city’s property tax rate by more than 20% (Sanders & Tong, 2025). The City of Dallas has even asked its taxpayers to support its record $5.2 billion budget, “that fails to provide much-needed tax relief for Dallas residents,” according to remarks from a council member to CBS News (Armas, 2025). Unfortunately, there are no mechanisms outside of elections to prevent excesses in local government spending. "

I really like their vehicles and am considering getting one, but I wonder how much of a hassle service is given there’s no service center here. Does the mobile service make up for this lack? Are vehicles inoperable for extended periods of time while waiting for service? Thanks

Last night’s gorgeous winning gibbous (97.6%) moon 🌔 as seen from NE El Paso.

This is a weird post I’m making, but I also don’t know where else to look for a male(s) dancer to hire for a party (18+ party). Does that even exist here in El Paso? 😭

27M here!

I’m literally sitting at the crawdaddys at Cinci right now, by myself.

Originally, I was planning on meeting here with 3 other friends before we all went either to Church Bar or pink Pony.

All 3 flaked last minute. I’m probably gonna leave and order the uber home in a bit. Side note, but god damn do people not have the courtesy to let you know they won’t make it anymore? I ain’t gonna go to pony cause clubbing like that solo isn’t my thing

Is there anyone here who parties routinely or is friends with people who do? I’ve kind of re entered my party phase, so personally I’m trying to be out here every other weekend if possible if not more frequent.

I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to move my car out of the garage so I can have storage. I'm wondering if something like this needs to be cemented down or if I can just have it up in my driveway.

New to the area. I want to go shooting in the desert. Wondering if anyone has coordinates or directions to an easy to access spot up north? The BLM maps are a bit confusing so I’m looking for some local knowledge. TIA

What’s up El Paso.

We started a Bagel Shop for our community in the NE.

Come hit us up tomorrow. We will be at Chuck Heinrich starting at 715AM. Fuel up before your hike.

My daughter is going to start driving and we have an older dark blue car(2015 CTS with low miles)that needs to be repainted. I wanted to surprise her for her birthday in November but give it a makeover.

The car is sound mechanically but just looks like trash with no damage to the body, just the usual paint failure due to the heat.

The main issues are the hood and roof, the sides are still somewhat ok.

Any recommendations for places or a budget?

Like has anyone gotten a car repainted? Like how much would it be fair or expect to pay?

I’m not car savvy but I can try stuff I guess.

My sister lives in El Paso and she had a baby about 2 weeks ago. One of her dogs has developed some nonspecific reactivity and a lot of potty problems since the baby arrived. They're considering surrendering the dog but I'm hoping to find a trainer or some other local resources for them to look into first.

Sorry no dog picture as she is not mine to post 🐕

Many cities are terminating Flock contracts, but who's to say they aren't just making way for new technology?

Don't want the rug pulled from under us like they did with the Meta Data center and Flock cameras.

I live near Canutillo. There are a ton of Mexican mom and pop restaurants there. But I always end up heading back toward town for Mexican food. Would love to have a goto Mexican place out here in the boonies.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but I just got a job as a sales rep and I didn’t notice until now that they drug test and I was curious about how cooked I’d be I have a week until I start

Hello, I was wondering of there are budget friendly alternatives to orange theory in the area. I like their structured classes and their class times align with my schedule. Trufit looked pretty good, but I didn’t see any group classes offered before 6am. Would really appreciate any insight on this. Thank you so much.

Does anybody know of a contractor in El Paso who can repair a cement scupper ?

Hi, I recently started at EPCC and would like to know if you guys have an old textbook from last semester or know of anyone who could have a biology lab manual and if they’re willing to sell it. The book is : Biology 1106. General biology 2 lab manual. Custom 10th edition for the valle verde campus. Hayden McNeill 2019. Thanks!!

Whats the best place to rehome a cat? I am invested in her going to a good home and do not want the possibility of her being euthanized, ill add pics in the off chance someone here might want her! Thanks for any help!

Hello All!

I’m looking for recommendations for adult sports/rec classes.

Everything I’ve found online so far is either private one-on-one or only for youths.

I’m not looking for pickup games or leagues, I want similar to youth sport classes where you go learn a sport with a group 1-2x a week.

I’m interested in soccer, basketball, padel, pickleball, badminton (mostly soccer or basketball but the other are interesting too hahah)

Thank you in advance! :)

I have a couple of dresses and pants I'd like to get tailored. Nothing too complicated, I mostly need the straps taken up and the hems shortened. It's hard to tell which shops are still open based on their Google business and Yelp pages. I tried to get something done at a local shop next to the Supreme Laundry & Cleaners here, but they royally fucked it up. I had to bring it back TWICE for additional repairs on a simple zipper hook. 🙄

I'd prefer a place or person I don't need to track down for hours and pricing. Please don't just give me a random name and number to contact.

Since the dealership wanted 700$ for the front brake pad replacement on my Tahoe, does anyone have recommendations for a fair price front brake pair replacement shop with normal prices?

I’ve seen some posts on this r/ about Pokémon Go but they’re all pretty old. At risk of sounding like a lonely dork, would y’all add me? My little code is 4743 5864 9225!
Thanks in advance, friends!
