“FENIX

I decided to take the path of the hero, who transforms pain into love, who fights without fear, who shapes his own destiny, putting himself in the service of the Divine, doing things with more consciousness and love.
LISTEN TO YOURSELF, STAY SAFE, LOVE YOURSELF”

“FENIX

Decidí tomar el camino del héroe, aque que transforma el dolor por amor, que lucha sin temor, que forma su propio destino, poniéndose al servicio del Divino, haciendo las cosas con más conciencia y amor.
ESCÚCHATE, CUÍDATE, ÁMATE“

“Paso Del Norte Port of Entry has played a big roll in my life. I’ve crossed this USA/Mexico border for many occasions with friends and family. I’m glad to continue that tradition with my daughter Natalia, who inspires me every day to be a better person and dad. Thank you to Cricket Wireless for collaborating on the design and sponsorship of this mural. ”

On today’s … we’re looking back at one of El Paso’s most iconic symbols—the Star on the Mountain! ⭐️

First lit in 1940 by El Paso Electric, the star began as a seasonal display. The original was only 50 feet wide, barely visible from the Highway, and didn’t last long—a storm blew out most of its bulbs.

But El Paso doesn’t give up. A bigger and better star soon followed, growing to 403 feet long and 300 feet wide. By 1946, improvements brought it to its current size—459 feet long, 278 feet wide, using 459 lights—and it became the shining beacon we know today.

🌟 Historic Moments:
✨ 1979 – Lit for 444 nights in honor of American hostages in Iran.
✨ 1990-1991 – Shone every night until all Fort Bliss troops returned from the Gulf War.
✨ 1993 – Became a nightly feature thanks to a joint project by the Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce & El Paso Electric.
✨ 2007 – Upgraded with a remote system (no more hiking up the mountain to turn it on!).

Today, El Pasoans can sponsor the star in honor of loved ones or special occasions, ensuring El Chuco continues to shine bright. 🌟

With the help of so many people I had the opportunity to paint a mural for Love Your Block.

Thank you and the students that came out to paint. The project needed a strong start and it couldn’t have happened without you and them.

Thank you .a._arts12 for your help figuring out those leaves and vines.

Thank you for coming out and helping me add the finishing touches.

Thank you for your love, support, and for believing I can put out good work.

Thank you for your patience, guidance, and confidence. I have had so much fun painting outside this year and have learned so much.

Thank you to Anel, , & the Love Your Block team for making this possible.

In 1999, Artist Carlos Callejo coordinated subject matter for the murals with about 70 students from all over El Paso. One of the subjects they painted was Martin Luthor King Jr. On MLK day, we want to spotlight this mural from the memorial row of Lincoln Park.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an American Baptist minister, and fought for the civil rights African Americans through non violent means. From 1955 until his assassination in 1968, he was the leader of the Civil Rights Movement. King participated in and led marches for African Americans right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other basic civil rights. King is best known for 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. King helped organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. In 1965, he helped organize two of the three Selma to Montgomery Marches. In his final years, he expanded his focus to include opposition towards poverty, capitalism, and the Vietnam War.

The MLK mural contained the activist surrounded by the American flag, and future generations of children. At the very bottom tells the viewer to turn your dreams into a reality. A reminder of the iconic “I Have A Dream” speech. The mural was inspiration for everyone that saw it, but had a great impact on those with colored skin.

“Martin Luther King sacrificed himself for people of color,” said artist Gabriel Gaytan about the civil rights leader. “All these icons on the murals, fought for the people, for our rights, for our civil rights,” said Gaytan.

MLK Day was established in 1971, and signed into legislation in 1986. We will see more murals of this iconic leader in the future. Today, he still inspires generations of people to continue the fight for equality.
