Starting the year off with ‘s mural balloons At Clear View Realty.

Tino started these murals to bring some beauty to city after the 2019 Wal-Mart shooting.

“I want the people of El Paso to know they are loved. These balloons are about uplifting the people that bring these pieces to life.”

As a tribute to the victims, Ortega decided to paint 23 separate murals throughout the city.
Each mural has a separate word or phrase in a balloon style inspired by artist .

“The idea of the balloons is always expanding. I want them to grow with the community. My goal in the end would be 23 pieces.”

Quotes are from our 2020 interview

Christmas may be over, but you might still be looking for baby Jesus…inside your bread 👶🏻🥖
If you’re buying a rosca de Reyes, chances are you might be visiting Bowie bakery.

First established in 1951 in the heart of Segundo Barrio, Bowie bakery switched ownership in 1971 to “Don Angel” Marquez, who throughout the years, made the bakery a staple in El Paso. Originally from Zacatecas, Don Angel began baking at the age of 13, thus bringing with him years of experience. The bakery quickly expended to add more locations in town.

Don Angel passed away in 2005, and George Bush sent the family a letter expressing his condolences, as he himself was a fan of their pan dulce while in El Paso (pic 3). The bakeries continue to be proudly owned by the Marquez family to this day.

As the holiday season draws near, we celebrate cherished traditions, including las luminarias—lanterns symbolizing the light of Christ’s birth and the illumination of the spirit.

This tradition dates back to the 16th century, when Spaniards lit bonfires along roads to guide people to Midnight Mass on the final night of Las Posadas. Inspired by Chinese paper lanterns, these lights evolved into today’s Christmas luminaries, which adorn sidewalks, driveways, rooftops, and windows, guiding travelers to their holiday destinations.

In El Paso, Centro de Salud Familiar La Fe keeps the tradition alive with the help of hundreds of volunteers who place around 4,000 luminarias along Scenic Drive each year.
