Good morning, El Paso. It’s nice to see El Paso getting a larger variety of food. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Mexican food, steaks, and burgers, but it’s nice to mix it up every now and again.

In today’s Border City Buzz:

• Fire Station Re-Opening

• Pet Vaccines & Microchips

• New Teriyaki Chicken Spot Opening

Let’s get to it. And by the way, I know what I’m voting for below.

🦏 El Paso Zoo Loses Accreditation

The El Paso Zoo has recently lost its accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, primarily due to the need for maintenance in older sections. However, the zoo's animal care, including their veterinary practices, received high praise. The zoo is actively upgrading its facilities and plans to either appeal the decision or reapply for accreditation.

This accreditation is crucial as it impacts access to various funding opportunities, which are essential for continuing to enhance the zoo's offerings. The city remains committed to improving the zoo, demonstrating its dedication to both animal welfare and visitor experience.

🍚 Teriyaki Madness Opening

For years I have been saying that El Paso needs more chicken, rice, and vegetable type of places and it looks like I am just in luck.

I like this type of food because I can eat out without feeling too unhealthy. I hope it’s good!
