Yesterday's El Paso Citizen Police Academy had CAP and a Texas Ranger speak to us about crime scene…read moreinvestigations. On my watch list now is Lonesome Dove and on my read list is Empire of the Summer Moon. To be honest with you, since the training is at Safety Town at Bassett around dinner time, I've been disinclined to eat there since the food court has really terrible Asian food, they just give you a lot to make up for it. BUT yesterday I found a hidden gem, literally it's in the far right corner of the food court. I think it's called Mr. C - Snack Shop which is really odd because it has everything from burgers to tortas, to loaded fries. They also have all the agua frescas, and fresh fruits alongside the snacks like elotes and chilindras. This carne asada torta was the bomb. So much flavor, they weren't stingy with the meat and I only got one gristly piece of meat. It's filled with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado salsa. It comes with hand made fries which I normally don't like since they're limp and have skin attached, BUT these fries were covered with cheese sauce! Omg that just brought it to the next level... Best of all, it was around $10 which is a deal for the food court and in these inflationary times. Oh and all the movies at the mall on Tuesday are $5.75 all day! You want a safe place to play for your kiddos that they can climb? There's a kiddie area in the food court and I saw them sanitizing it pretty regularly, alongside the Easter Bunny pics. I admit I never really go to Bassett mall unless there's a big event, like this weekend's Kids Fair, or shop at Costco, but there are still local stores doing their best to survive and we can go and #supportlocal

Since the first time I ever venture to this mall they have done some renovations. They have worked…read moreon a new food court, which is decent. Other than that it's not much going on here. They have a Dave and busters, express, target, few other stores and even a movie theater. The movie theater is the reason I normally come back. Since it's one of the smaller ones I have noticed it's never packed which is really nice! So shopping doesn't get as crazy as it would at the other malls. There are several people mainly seniors that are walking together as a exercising routine. One thing I would caution anyone is that Costco is right close by and their gas station is over by Dave and busters entrance, with that being said be carefully when going in and coming out because the gas station is always packed with cars in line.

Such a cute hidden little gem located in the west side of El Paso. I love how everywhere you look…read moreyou see a painting. Came here to look around when a cousin of mine came to visit. There is a few bars and places to eat along with a new coffee place that just opened. I definitely recommend trying out 2ten if you want your coffee fix and you're in the área. I tried the Horchata latte and it was amazing. I loved everything about this place.

TI:ME gives me so much hope for El Paso's future and I hope that in fifty years Montecillo is still…read morethe thriving neighborhood it is today (or is becoming depending on how you look at it). With so many new things coming to EP and visions finally happening (trolley system coming soon!), I'm so happy to see a completely locally owned shopping center open up. No out of state franchises, no nationwide corporation, it's all just homegrown goodness. And not just that, I do believe TI:ME can become a staple of EP, easy. The Venue at Montecillo was the first glimpse EP got at what Montecillo would be like and although there is a flow to the design, these are two completely different areas and I love it. The first thing I noticed when TI:ME was finally ready for the public was the word "Time" written in Old English Font. At first I didn't know how to feel about that...did they just take the easy way out and copy the most recognized logo for almost, I don't know, the last two hundred years, give or take? Or is it merely a coincidence, an oversight? I'm willing to bet on the former, but it grew on me and I kind of can see why going with something so easily recognizable would be eye-catching (especially for out-of-towners). I just wish they wrote "TI:ME" instead of "Time" because the colon is definitely part of the name and all caps is their actual logo (in a different font by the way...Arial Narrow maybe). I went back and forth because it does seem like a blatant ripoff of The New York Times logo...as simple as it may be. Mind you, this inner turmoil with the name took place in the matter of seconds so before I even made it up the steps I had decided I was okay with it (not that me being okay or not being okay with it really matters). TI:ME is anchored by three eateries, Catina Malolam, Stonewood, and Hillside Coffee & Donut Co. All equally impressive in design and menu. Each is completely different and has a unique style. What is the rest of TI:ME? Mostly re-purposed shipping containers. It's cost effective to work with and is just gorgeous to look at (when done right...and it's done right here). TI:ME only utilizes the first floor of the shipping containers used and although I would've loved to see the second and third floor of these containers used, I'm still a zealous fan of this, in it's very European meets San Francisco way. The shipping containers are divided up so there's anywhere from two to three boutiques in each. TI:ME was smartly designed and provides a pleasant amount of shade if you decide to stroll from shop to shop and shelters you from the noise that is Mesa St. And the collab of EXIST (check out @exist1981 on Instagram if you don't know what I'm talking about or better yet just Google it) pieces throughout the center is possibly my favorite thing about it. Also vying for my love and attention is the mixed materials used to design this place. I seriously love any place that can take old and put it with new and make it beautiful. Wood is used in many different ways here which is utterly refreshing to see in a city that usually sticks to bricks or stucco. The many woods used are mixed in with metals and cements and the occasional bricks. The only material I'm not particularly fond of is the cinder-block. It feels like an afterthought and it makes me think that wasn't originally intended to be part of the design, but was done to meet a deadline and cut costs. Not just that, the craftsmanship is shoddy at best. It appears rushed and looking at it, I don't doubt that it will need to be mended sooner rather than later. My craftsmanship remarks also apply to the brick fountain in the center of TI:ME which already has loose bricks. In TI:ME the cinder-blocks and bricks will actually look beautiful because of the natural wear and tear from the wind and rain, but to have to look at it now when it could have been built a little better is just a tad disappointing (see what I did there at the beginning of the sentence,,,eh, eh?). Regardless of the far and few kinks of TI:ME, I absolutely am obsessed with it and the surrounding Monticello area (and what it will be very soon)! I think they did a great job executing a brilliant idea.
