TEXAS -- How cute! These bears rock-climbing in Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park in Southwest Texas are the content we need to see today. Ya know, I was already contemplating a visit to Big Bend National Park in Southwest Texas. But I think it may be watching these bears rock climbing that has finally inspired me to make a plan forthwith. My first stop at Big Bend National Park? Oh, it's definitely going to be to the Santa Elena Canyon.

Looking for a new series to binge-watch, a new TV show to get hooked on with your partner or pals, or just want to know if any of your favorite shows have a new season or special out soon?

As someone who's always happy to find an excuse to visit the El Paso Zoo, this might be one of my favorite World Cup celebrations yet. You know the World Cup has completely taken over El Paso when even the animals are getting involved. As the tournament heads into the Round of 16, the El Paso Zoo has found a creative way to celebrate soccer fever by pairing some of its animals with each of the remaining countries still chasing the World Cup trophy.

Sometimes all it takes is one photo to transport you back to childhood. One glance at the colorful exterior of Pancho's Mexican Buffet, and suddenly you're remembering the smell of fresh tortillas, drizzling honey over warm sopapillas and trying to decide how many tacos you can eat without having to be rolled out of the restaurant.

As times have changed, so has how America celebrates the Fourth of July. Independence Day photos from the early 1900s show groups celebrating at low-key public events. If the kids got a chance, they may have whipped up a fun costume complete with pretend fireworks made out of paper. Years later, cities started to go all-in. Residents would unfold their lawn chairs along the street for the annual Fourth of July parade.

The highlight of this year's Fourth of July party doesn't have to be fireworks lighting up the sky. Instead, use your creativity to work in the kitchen to make one of these show-stopping red, white, and blue dishes to win over your guests. This is for your guests who want to feel like they're eating healthy while also indulging in some sweet dessert during the holiday.

In 2026, the USA turns 250. Here are some of the key moments in the history of El Paso over those past 250 years. The Spaniards hit El Chuco in the late 1500's, Way, WAYYYY before those English peeps were even close to getting mad enough at the King to go into business for themselves over here. We had a head start so, we already had it going on over here before the war for independence was even a thought. The USA, as a nation, came together ... officially ... July 4th, 1776.

Data Centers coming to El Paso have got a lot of folks upset for various reasons but, maybe, they don't have to be here at all. More and more folks are jumping on the anti - data center band wagon. I'm not crazy about them myself but it looks like they could have a home near El Paso rather than in it. One of the nearby oil fields. There's a list of reasons why peeps are against the data centers being built in and around El Paso.
