I give up

January 24, 2022

The front page of the “El Paso Times” sent me over the edge this morning.

Writing about a new building in town the headline was “Facility to has educational services, private events”.

I understand that mistakes happen.

Unfortunately the Times has significantly reduced their content.

Now their lack of quality makes me wonder if they check anything before they publish it.

I have supported the Times with my subscription for decades even while I disagreed with their favoritism.

I can no longer justify spending almost $700 per year for a subscription.

We deserve better

Your city in 5

The city produces a five minute informative piece each week.

I enjoy watching.

It is available this week on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQQ7Rfptovk

Not slowing down

October 29, 2021

As we get older many of us slow down.

I can report that I did something the other day faster than I have ever done it.

I pumped $50 dollars of gasoline in my car.

We deserve better

Good customer service attracts customers

October 13, 2021

There was a time where upon landing at the airport one could walk down to the baggage section and find their baggage already waiting for them.

The service was excellent.

Many out of town travelers told me how much they enjoyed their experience at our airport.

With the highest homestead property tax rate and the second highest industrial property tax rates of the 50 largest cities in the United States we don’t look too good to companies that might want to relocate here.

Little things count. First impressions count.

Couldn’t we at least make flying into El Paso a more enjoyable experience?

We deserve better
