Welcome to 2021, where construction is still ongoing and traffic is a mess amidst an ongoing pandemic.
Is it just me, or does it seem that North Mesa has been under construction for what appears to be a lifetime?
Last year during the GO-10 project, freeway traffic was diverted onto Mesa Street, causing damage to the street due to heavy traffic flow, requiring the road to be redone.
State Highway 20, better known as the North Mesa Street rehabilitation project, began last year in April, with the entire project projected to be completed by Spring 2021.
Yet here we are talking about the Mesa Street construction all over again and just weeks away from the estimated date of completion.
El Paso Stop Using Parking Lots as Back Roads to Cut Into Traffic
Now more drivers and businesses further up along N. Mesa St. are encountering problems during the road work. Just yesterday, Monday, February 8, the road crew started setting up the cement blocks along N. Mesa St. after Brentwood Avenue. Before we were able to pick a lane out of the three to drive on at Brentwood Avenue but not anymore. Now from Brentwood Avenue, you can only continue up N. Mesa St. in the far-right lane. Which is now the only open lane.
When the road is down to just one lane that means you can expect all sorts of craziness. There are people thinking they can find a short cut to squeeze their way into the traffic on the road. Those people I am talking about are the ones that cut through business parking lots to try and get ahead in the line.
Human Remains Found at Sunset Heights Could Explain Ghost Stories
El Paso Water Utilities crews uncover human remains in the El Paso Sunset Heights District while digging in the area to replace old water lines.
The discovery of the human remains came after El Paso Water Utilities crews stumbled across them while digging to replace old water lines near Upson and Fewel St.
My family has owned a home in the Sunset Heights neighborhood for decades, and the find of human remains has me fully invested.
My intrigue stems from my love for archeology, and honestly, if I had not followed a career in radio, I would have probably found myself at some dig site sifting through ancient dirt uncovering the past.
TikTok Trend: How to Order an El Paso Sunset From Starbucks
The TikTok world has created a new trend that puts Starbucks baristas on the spot to make random beautiful, but tasty drinks.
Which you might be thinking that they do that anyway, but the twist is customers are asking them to make a drink that represents something very specific. One of the first videos I saw highlighting this TikTok trend involved asking a barista to make Disney in a cup.

Being in the media world, sometimes you just have to jump on a delicious trend. So while it makes me cringe to drive-up to a Starbucks and say, I saw this on TikTok, I have no regrets.
