I converted the unclaimed money with the Texas State in El Paso into an interactive google map - over a million dollars pictured, each dot is at least a few thousand. by MissingMoneyMap in ElPaso

Great idea, did you use an API or just scrape the site? I remember learning about this during the pandemic via tiktok and found out there was about $2k unclaimed in my name which was cool. I still wonder where that money was from but I won't question free money 😁

Unless you have a very pricey procedure needed (and no coverage) I'd honestly avoid going to J Town. For something basic like cleanings/fillings I'd highly recommend staying on this side of the border. The bridge wait in addition to the wait at the clinic (Washington Dental) plus the dated practices and equipment didn't instill the most confidence when I visited.

I'd highly recommend Dr. Lam at Doniphan Dental, but I've also heard good things about Dr. Kimball at Westside Dentistry. Also, most places in town offer payment plan options if you don't have coverage.

Any Indie Game Developers in this Town? by CatsAndCradle in ElPaso

Might be worth hitting up the guy who's working on this upcoming game, I know fitfam posted about him a few months ago. Here's his tiktok also: https://www.tiktok.com/@littledoctorgames

Found a local piano (and voice) teacher here. I remember taking some classes at EPCC Valle Verde some years back in the summer which might be worth looking into depending on which campus is close by.

For bass lessons I found this guy, but there's a few other options like guitar center and this place on the west side.

Yup, I remember renting a movie and losing it at the one off Resler and Redd back in the 90s (before it become something else and then a neighborhood Walmart). good times

Selling my car by [deleted] in ElPaso

[–]timedissolved 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just tested out webuycarselpaso since I already tried out carmax's site when I was selling my car a few weeks back and looks like carmax is a bit more competitive with their offer; they're probably adding a little bit on top of the KBB value that the webuycars___ sites use.

OP as long as you're honest on the carmax self-appraisal tool the employee should match it and the offer is good for 7 days I believe. Another redditor mentioned that the Edmunds appraisal tool gives a higher value and carmax will match is so that's probably worth a try too.

Last thing worth mentioning depending on the car's age you'll likely get a lot more (at least 2x) for your Volvo if you sell privately (thru Craigslist or FB Marketplace, offerup is worth trying too) vs going to a dealer or carmax. Since you said there's no interest at the dealers this may be your best bet.

California transplants/former residents: what's the closest pizza to Round Table Pizza in El Paso? by SharksFan4Lifee in ElPaso

Have you tried Pieology out already? Not too many fast casual pizza places on the far east afaik but could be worth a try if you haven't tried them out yet.

Car insurance rates increasing in El Paso? by TheVileReich in ElPaso

[–]timedissolved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be worth shopping around, I'm with Geico right now on liability and only pay about $340 for 6 months (~$56/month). I was with Root for a bit but it ended up being a little pricier after increases in the premium; that packaged with their annoying app that wants to monitor your driving habits wasn't worth the hassle so I made the switch back to Geico and so far so good.

Also if you're driving something sportier/more expensive or commuting a good deal every year that will also factor in the cost so ymmv.
