I LOVE what you are doing Olivia!! You are walking in the shoes of those most affected by this Administration. Your compassion and sanity are lacking in MAGA world.
That spirit is alive in a lot of the country. Tomorrow night I am going to a Day of the Dead Party. And I am about as blue-eyed Anglo as you can get. I'm baking Pan de Muertos, of course.
I grew up in El Paso too! We still have land on the border that the government is ruining with their vehicles and traffic. We deserve to be a thriving border alliance! Please keep the focus on the border, it’s such a beautiful place.
I love the Pink Store and going to Palomas! A group of my friends are going there next week to shop and enjoy the food and the margaritas. We're treated like family when we go there. Thank you so much for doing this series.
I’ve never been to a border town but the one you’re in looks beautiful. I would be in the Pink Place for hours. I love the hanging parrots. Thank you Olivia for showing me this.
Palomas! One of my favorite places. I live not far from Columbus/Palomas and it is my happy place STILL. They have fabulous American trained dentists, numerous optical shops and can set you up with prescription eyeglasses in 2 hours or less. The bifocal I ordered cost $90.00. Way less than any place in US. Great pharmacies (wonderful for face creams) And of course the fabulous Pink Store. I am so glad you gave this part of the border publicity.
The Pink Store looks like a truly fun place to go! I'm so grateful to you for sharing your travels and your personal experiences with all of us. For someone like myself, who is limited in my own experiences, I enjoy being able to see what is actually happening, rather than the lies spewed by the White House. Thanks Olivia!!!

Cynthia! Hello. And you are absolutely right.
Hi Annie! So great to see you here! Are you in EP?
Nope. I live in Oregon.
And most of my El Paso relatives are dead. I'm holding down the Hoy name out here. And how did the Givans get in your name?
I was in San Francisco and Santa Cruz the last 30 years, fell in love and am now married to Charlie Givans and living in Leesburg VA outside DC.
I covered Oregon when living out there, love it!
Where in Oregon do you live now?
Thank you, Olivia, for being our ambassador of kindness.
I worry so much that the world isn’t separating normal Americans from the cruelness that is trump.
Me too.😕The world is definitely watching.

Olivia.
This was a bit of the great piece you did…
Also saw it on the JA show today… loved the sombrero.
Happy Halloween 🎃
What a lovely place. The silver stars on the ceiling were awesome.
They’re beautiful! I want them in my home!
Thanks for this Olivia, I will share with friends and social media.

Thank you, Olivia. I have been to at least 5 border towns in my life! Always beautiful.
Que bonito!! Me encanta la pequeña tienda!!!

Thank you, Olivia, for this beautiful reminder of my youth, and trips to Puerto Palomas with my abuelita.
So glad to see the Mexican side & remembering when it was easy to cross over & back again. Thanks Olivia!
Thank you. One more examlpe of the light that surrounds us.
