Today’s front page headline of the dead tree edition of our English almost-daily newspaper is “Five new restaurants to try in El Paso”. The story in the right hand column is titled “Complex with padel court, food coming to West El Paso.”
Newspapers used to have a saying, “If it bleeds, it leads.” In El Paso they’ve adapted that to “If I can eat it, you can read it”.
I’m not blaming the daily rag. El Paso is a small town. We don’t really need a local daily paper because things don’t happen on a local daily basis.
Or do they?
i keep wondering what the hell is padel?
