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.
Smoke shop near school gets OK from Visalia City Council
View Comments
Potential holes in Visalia’s municipal codes were exposed Monday night after the public and school board members questioned whether a smoke shop should be allowed near an elementary school.
Ultimately, the Visalia City Council voted in favor of upholding the planning commission’s recommendation to allow a smoke shop, PRD Cigarettes, to operate around 500 feet away from Houston Elementary School in a 2-1 decision.
The distance is less than two football fields away, or about 100 feet farther than centerfield of a typical baseball stadium.
Council members Brian Poochigian and Brett Taylor voted in favor of the motion, while Councilman Greg Collins was the sole no vote. Mayor Steve Nelsen and Vice Mayor Phil Cox didn t attend the meeting.
