Good morning, El Paso.

On Thursday, over 400 men and boys walked Main Street wearing bright red high heels — showing support for domestic violence survivors during the annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event hosted by the YWCA El Paso del Norte Region.

The event raised funds for the YWCA's Sarah McKnight Transitional Living Center — which helps more than 200 families each year.

The El Paso Chamber is lighting the Star on the Mountain red to honor Red Ribbon Week from Oct.

23 to Oct. 31—a national campaign that promotes drug-free living and unites local families, schools, and businesses. The gesture commemorates DEA Special Agent Enrique S. “Kiki” Camarena and supports ongoing community efforts to prevent drug use.

Meta invested $1.5 billion in a data center on over 1,000 acres in Northeast El Paso after securing an 80% property tax break from local governments—construction began on Oct.

13 and the facility now employs 100 full-time workers with nearly 2,000 during construction. The center uses a closed-loop cooling system that permits up to 1.5 million gallons of water per day while local officials monitor its impact on power and water resources.

DJ Benny Benassi will headline Elmont's season-closing day party on Sunday in West El Paso at 2 p.m.—with general admission tickets around $34.77 and VIP tickets at about $62.66—where organizers expect a large turnout.

Dancer Armando Eleazar from El Paso, who moved from Juarez at 14, danced alongside Jennifer Lopez in the film 'Kiss of the Spider Woman'—and he plans to combine dance, music, and acting in future projects.

UTEP President Heather Wilson is updating El Paso on the plan to open a law school at noon today during the El Paso Bar Association meeting.

The plan follows a study announced on November 15, 2024 (which found that the law school is feasible and could support itself after a 10-year start-up period) and aims to meet the region's legal service needs.

Due to the government shutdown, schools may not receive the anti-drug presentations for Red Ribbon Week because the DEA has stopped non-essential work.

Canutillo Independent School District is looking for new ways to teach students about staying drug-free — ensuring the campaign continues despite the delay.

A family therapist in El Paso warns that when parents do not manage their own stress, it can affect their children’s well-being—parents are encouraged to identify stressors, care for themselves, and create a calm space for daily conversation.

She advises taking steps like setting aside time without distractions and reaching out for support if needed.

Monster Jam Road Trip stopped at Walmart at 7831 Paseo Del Norte on Oct.

23 and will feature fan-favorite truck Grave Digger today at Walmart at 4530 Woodrow Bean from 2—6 p.m. with additional stops at Walmart at 10727 Gateway on Oct. 25 from 10 a.m.—2 p.m. and at Walmart at 13900 Horizon on Oct. 26 from 10 a.m.—2 p.m.
