Spooky Footage Captured Outside Former Houston Elementary
It s no shocker that El Paso is flooded with stories of haunted places; it s a very old city full of history- some good and some not so good. Usually when you hear of a haunted school, your mind immediately goes to one in particular: El Paso High.
Today, however, we hear of another old El Paso school that has had a spooky history; Houston Elementary School. To many, Houston elementary isn t even a school that is on their radar, but it existed! My sister actually went there when she was younger, so it was a bit of a shock when it ceased to exist as an elementary school.
Enjoy The Beautiful Scenery And Adventure When You Float The Rio
The weather has been heating up and people in the Borderland are looking for ways to keep cool in the sun. A great way to spend an afternoon or morning is to head down to Las Cruces to float the river with friends and family.

He was able to remove language from a bill today in committee that would have banned delta 8 products and severely damaged the hemp industry in Texas.
Here’s What we Were Taught in Oklahoma About The Tulsa Riots
This week marks the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre. In 1921, exactly one hundred years ago, a race war broke out in Tulsa between a white mob that wanted to lynch a young black man and African-American citizens who were going to protect him. After two days of violence, there were at least 36 deaths (mostly blacks) and one of the most prosperous black communities in America was left in smoldering ruins. I grew up about 10 miles from where this occurred.
The Greenwood District in Tulsa was nicknamed “Black Wall Street” because of its middle-class and upper-middle class prosperity. Dick Rowland was a teenage shoeshiner who was well known and well-liked even by the wealthy white business leaders. There was some kind of incident between 19 year old Rowland and a white teenager named Sarah Page. The “incident” was never definitively defined but Page said later that she thought it was nothing but a huge m
