El Paso's arts and culture scene runs deeper than most people outside the city realize. The Franklin Mountains frame a city that has been building museums, restoring historic theatres, and hosting world-class performances for decades - with a bicultural depth that's all its own. From an art association that has supported local artists since 1950 to a restored 1930 movie palace on the National Register of Historic Places, these five venues tell the story of a city that takes its cultural life seriously. Hispanic Heritage Month this fall is a good reason to rediscover what's here. Find them all in the El Paso Shoutouts directory.

In El Paso, the roof, the AC, and the plumbing all take a beating. Intense sun, monsoon season, and desert heat are not abstract problems here - they are things that show up every summer and punish houses that have not been properly maintained.

It is how you avoid scrambling in July when the AC goes out or in August when the rains arrive. These five El Paso home service companies have built reputations in this city by knowing exactly what the desert demands.
