What do you have against Las Cruces?
There are a lot of great restaurants in Las Cruces/Mesilla. Have you ever been to La Posta? There is a reason that place is always busy.
OT: Next Big Thing for El Paso?

What are you talking about? It's nothing against our little sister city to the north. It's simply that a restaurant that's also being built in a city of 120,000 is not "The Next Big Thing" lol 😅
Of course it can. There are a number of great restaurants only in Las Cruces. Are you saying only big cities can have great things?
You certainly care since you are still commenting on a thread you supposedly don't care about.
The food is fine but you can get the same thing just about anywhere in El Paso.

Denver are you serious rn lol. Obviously and clearly I'm saying that if they have these crappy chain restaurants in places like LC and Odessa then I don't care that they're coming to El Paso and it's no Big Deal. I said nothing about the thread. You can't possibly be that dumb that you misunderstood that. Stop being a troll or just dumb as a box of rocks!
Not at all. Like I said, there is a reason there is a wait every time I visit La Posta.
There is a Cheesecake Factory in Lubbock. According to you, it wouldn't be a big deal if El Paso got a Cheesecake Factory.
Not anymore, the buzz has worm off with them. They obviously hate El Paso and hate money or someone on their marketing team is just looking at owe Capita and not the Big Picture. A cheesecake factory in EP would do bigger numbers than Tucson, Albuquerque and Lubbock. I don't even go to cheesecake and I love next to one. I'd rather a franchise that appreciate's El Paso maybe some Papa's franchises or Maggianos, Carrabba's, Bonefish Grill, Yard house, longhorn, etc .. Even then a new restaurant I don't think is what this thread was started. We were talking about Arena, Sports teams, Aquarium, Museum's, etc...
Well you're wrong. It would be a big thing if El Paso got a Cheesecake Factory.
I wasn't arguing and I'm not here to convince anybody about anything. If you don't think that it wouldn't be a big deal if El Paso got a Cheesecake Factory, then that's perfectly fine.
No way, man. Their menu is too big and they excel at execution. They take up so much space that all the people don’t fit so they make people wait forever. Just tell people to go to Chicos. The wait isn’t as long.
Went to McAlister’s. Did not disappoint. Turkey Jalapeño crunch was great.
Love the sarcasm!
As far as Chico's, I used to enjoy going there. They are now vastly overpriced and the quality has gone way downhill over the past number of years.
I have never been impressed with Cheesecake Factory. But it would do huge numbers in El Paso. To me, the food is average and the menu has too many choices.
Fair enough! One reason I do love it is because of all the available choices.
I agree. They have a huge menu and truly excel at execution. I've never had a bad meal there. Great place.
Major battle (but the war continues) won by Tiguas:
"El Paso’s Tigua Indians can legally operate bingo-based games at their Speaking Rock Entertainment Center in the Lower Valley, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision on Wednesday".
Bingo based only, not casino. This will bring back lost customers.

I wouldn't call that the "next big thing".
Indoor shooting range? There are several of those. Zip Lines are a good idea. Then again we had a great Tramway and it couldn’t even stay open.
I thought the Tramway closed because there were maintenance issues or something. I don’t remember it being lack of use.
Kalahari Resorts are Awesome 👍 Would rather see that in El Paso than Great Wolf Lodge that pulled out and is trying to be asked to reconsider and build one on the far east side. It appears everything has been going west, so it'd be good for a Big project on the east side.
I wish the northeast would get more attention as the east and west sides get everything. Northeast is growing too, more development planned near Bowen Ranch.
Why is the Tramway closed?
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has operated the tram for the past 19 years. TPWD suspended tram operations after an engineering analysis. Despite passing annual inspections, the analysis concluded that the tram had exceeded its life expectancy and was no longer suited for public use. Out of an abundance of caution, TPWD closed the tramway.
When will the Tramway open again?
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is performing a feasibility study to determine the future of the Wyler Aerial Tramway.
Northeast voters turn down bond issues to enhance the area but are getting investments anyways. It's kind of a running joke amongst El Pasoans. The NE voters turn down everything while the rest of city votes yes and yet they end up winners of the bond votes anyways.
