El Paso Set To Reopen Quality of Life Services

As we are ALL aware, so much was shut down in 2020 including museums, pools, libraries. For over a year, we've had to all readjust to this weird way of life, but on March 29th (Monday), El Paso city leaders have announced that there will be big steps to slowly returning to normal, saying that with more citizens getting vaccinated, now is the time to open things back up.
