CLUES

Green Hidden Heart

Venturing into the oldest Street in town, is the very little we can Foretell, 

Find the shop with a statue of a singer known for Heartbreak Hotel

While you’re there, buy and sell at your Leisure

But keep in mind, the Hidden Heart is the true Treasure

Blue Hidden Heart

Think of a Year when drink was once again made Legal,

When exclusivity made you feel naughty but Regal  

Named after a time when you needed a password for Access

Ponder the clues and a simple Google search will reward you with an Address

Red Hidden Heart

The food served here originated in Spain

Named after cuisine served in small portions as meals or Snacks

Look for a silo of food where the tastes are anything but Plain

Tucked in a part of Downtown known for trains and Tracks

Purple Hidden Heart

Look for a neon heart in addition to our Papel Picado Corazon to Start

This restaurant is at the foot of a resting place for the traveling Weary

Named for the one person in the world that loves you like their finest work of Art

The food here will nurture your soul, but don’t expect to be called Dearie

Yellow Hidden Heart

Next to a bar known for their world famous Nachos

But this place is partially named after Leonardo da Vinci’s Bae,

You’ll look for drinks but you’ll find art, gals and Muchachos

The focus is creativity, cocktails and nighttime

Last year the El Paso Downtown Management District (DMD) held the first ever Start Up Downtown event to initiate the ongoing campaign of the same name, and this year, the event will be streamlined into a night of networking.

Additionally, attendees can expect food, drinks, prizes and the opportunity to talk about our growing downtown economy.

DMD officials share that this event is presented by TFCU, with support from the El Paso Community Foundation and the Downtown Management District.

“Through the Start Up Downtown campaign and core Downtown Programs, such as the Commercial Façade Improvement and Marketing Program, the DMD continually seeks to increase outreach and support to existing businesses and property owners, in addition to potential businesses, investors and business professionals,” DMD officials shared via an emailed news release.

“With the help of partners the DMD is committed to helping provide information and resources to operate in our ever-changing world and take advantage of the new opportunities emerging in our resurging downtown.”

All entrepreneurs, brokers, property owners, service providers, financial support providers, incentive program representatives, and small business professionals are invited to this FREE event and can register for the Start Up Downtown Business Blender Presented by TFCU online.

The Start Up Downtown Business Blender Presented by TFCU will be held on Thursday, November 14th from 5:30pm – 7:30pm at the Aloft Hotel, 303 Texas Avenue.

The results are in for the Downtown Management District’s (DMD) fifth annual downtown survey conducted during the entire month of July, 2019.

The DMD utilizes the unscientific, online survey to gauge the opinions of downtown property owners, business owners, employees, visitors and the general public on the present conditions of downtown, future needs, and the performance of the DMD itself.

The results of this survey were shared with the DMD Board at its August 22^nd meeting.

The El Paso Downtown Management District (DMD) is once again releasing their annual downtown survey!  Public input is a crucial component in shaping Downtown El Paso and the ongoing efforts of the DMD.

“This being our fifth annual survey, we are really starting to dial in what the public is looking for and not looking for, in addition to always paying attention to new trends in public opinion. We strongly value the opinions of the public and take their voices into consideration when maintaining or establishing downtown programs and services,” said DMD Executive Director Joe Gudenrath.

During the month of July, the DMD encourages downtown property owners, business owners, employees, visitors and the general public to take its online survey and share their opinion on the current conditions of the downtown, the performance of the DMD and future priorities for the area.

Participants can register themselves into a drawing for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate/card to a downtown business within the DMD boundaries.

The information gained from this brief, unscientific survey will be used by the DMD to better measure its performance and provide guidance on what is important to its stakeholders and the entire El Paso community.  Past survey results have contributed to the creation of the DMD’s Downtown Ambassador Program and additional grant programs including the Downtown Mural Grant Program.

The online survey is available in English and Spanish. For those without online access, hardcopies can be obtained at the DMD offices located at 201 East Main Suite 107, or by calling (915) 400-2294.

The survey can be accessed by visiting DowntownElPaso.com and clicking on the slider, the “About DMD section” or directly at Downtown Survey.

The Downtown Management District and muralist, Martin Zubia, are looking for a home for Zubia’s latest mural project. The mural, funded by a combination of local grants, needs the right downtown façade to showcase the art.

“Murals are starting to become a defining feature of our downtown and the DMD is excited to work with such an accomplished artist to offer this opportunity to a DMD property owner. The impact of beautification and culturally relevant art is a hard to measure, but is instantly felt,” said DMD Executive Director, Joe Gudenrath.

While property owners will have to comply with grant requirements, they would essentially be receiving a free mural with no additional out of pocket costs expected of them.

The proposed 600 square foot mural features a modern day interpretation of Fray Garcia de San Francisco, founder of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission at the Pass of the North in 1659 (El Paso, Texas and C. Juarez, Chihuahua), in addition to other elements of iconography.

The art will be created with the constantly evolving medium of spray paints, with supplies provided by local business, Kalavera Culture Shop.

The $7,000 project is being funded by grants obtained from the El Paso Downtown Management District and City of El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department’s Artist Incubator Program.

The Downtown Management District (DMD) Board of Directors approved the Downtown Mural Grant application by Martin Zubia on June 27, 2019, and was awarded up to $3,500 for the project.

The Downtown Mural Grant Program provides funding to existing business and/or property owners to establish or restore murals within the DMD boundaries. All proposed mural projects will be reviewed by a panel of local art professionals to determine the quality, suitability, and appropriateness of the proposed mural, and make a recommendation to the Grant Review Committee.

The Mural Grant Program is one of four downtown grant programs offered by the DMD, such as Iconic Signage and Lighting Program, Pedestrian Corridor Improvement Grant Program, and the Commercial Façade Improvement Program.

The maximum mural grant available is $10,000 and each grant dollar must be matched by a private investment dollar (1:1 ratio).

Property owners within the DMD interested in taking advantage of this program should contact Terry Mais, at 915-400-2294 or tmais@elpasodmd.org.

Property owners have until July 12^th to express interest in this opportunity.  Final determination for building applicants will be done by the artist.

Once again, the Downtown Management District (DMD) Welcome Ambassador Program will be placing friendly ambassadors, armed with warm smiles and highly identifiable purple shirts, in key areas of downtown to assist visitors on weekends and during events.

Ambassadors will be back in time for the busy summer season to greet the public and guide them through an ever-evolving downtown experience.

“The DMD is happy to provide this service if it means a more satisfying downtown experience. Our ambassadors understand that sometimes it’s not easy to know the ‘what and the where,’ in downtown, so a little assistance is welcome. Just look for the smiles and purple shirts!” said DMD Executive Director, Joe Gudenrath.

More specifically, the program places friendly, identifiable, knowledgeable and trained ambassadors in public downtown spaces to greet visitors, answer questions, provide maps, and assist people as needed.

The DMD implemented the program in 2016 as a response to a growing downtown, an increase in visitors and the desire to help make the downtown experience a positive one.

Downtown Ambassadors roaming around the El Centro Shopping District and the Las Plazas Arts District during the following times:

• Friday Nights: 4:30pm to 8:30pm
• Saturdays: 11:30am to 8pm
• Sundays: 12pm to 4pm

From May 8-10^th, the Downtown Management District and five great downtown restaurants are teaming up for the Downtown Eat Authentico! Restaurant Crawl, presented by TFCU.

“Based on feedback from the public, and by popular demand we chose to make this a spring and fall event, not just once a year,” said DMD Executive Director Joe Gudenrath.

Attendees will get a five-course meal, with each course at one of the five different downtown restaurants. Spots are limited and may sell out, so we recommend tickets be purchased early to reserve your spots in the crawl.

Participating restaurants and dishes include:

• B-17 Bombers Oyster Pub, serving an appetizer of Shrimp Tacos (Shrimp and fresh pico de gallo on corn tortillas) & Oyster Shooter (shucked California coast oyster with house-made cocktail sauce, lime juice and spices).

The Downtown Management District (DMD) will be hosting the Second Annual Downtown Running of the Bulls 5k and fun run, and are adding a contest to this year’s event.

The run is presented by Corona Premier, and will take place on October 20

This year the DMD will have a naming contest inviting the public to help name all eight (8) bulls.

Via a Wednesday news release, officials announced, “Each bull has been carefully recruited for their willingness to relocate and participate in our fun run, but they refuse to use their real names for fear of public backlash in the event of an unforeseen goring. We’re asking the public to help us find new names!”

DMD officials be giving away free tickets to the run, and all it takes to qualify for a chance to win is participation.  Participants need to comment on the upcoming posts asking for a name suggestion, on both their Instagram and Facebook pages with a suggested name for that particular bull.

“Suggesting a name in the comments sections will automatically enter participants for a chance to win a free ticket to the run…our bulls are proud professionals so be kind with the pseudonyms, please,” officials added.

The contest will run from September 27^th to October 2^nd, with all names announced on October 3^rd, in addition to the winners of the run tickets.

Registration is open online; runners and walkers of all ages are welcome to run among the bulls with participation tokens now being given in addition to medals for top finishing runners in seven (7) age brackets and three (3) fastest teams.

Registration for $30 includes a “build your own” breakfast burrito from Porkie’s BBQ, an exclusive draw string bag, t-shirt, and access to the activity zone, following the run.

The DMD is actively seeking volunteers interested in participating in the Running of the Bulls. Volunteers will have an opportunity to support downtown in a fun event and will receive a free t-shirt, and meal for their efforts. Interested volunteers should call the DMD at (915) 400-2294

It’s vital we don’t take this support for granted, and that we keep our finger on the pulse of the public so we can continue to improve our programs and aid in the prosperity of our downtown. This survey offers the kind of insightful criticism and positive feedback that is crucial to the course we set in the coming year.” said DMD Executive Director, Joe Gudenrath.

Business Services includes grants, marketing, web/social media coaching, business development, and available property listings.

2. Connections and Information

When determining where to locate your office or establish a business, information and understanding about the area is critical. Basic demographic information currently exists for properties and businesses within Downtown El Paso. We will supplement that content with information gained from additional research, surveys and on the street analysis.

With the support of property owners, we’ll maintain a list of available properties. Lastly, we continue to expose El Pasoans to local businesses through our ongoing promotions and events.

Entrepreneurs will be invited to this free event (registration at online) to learn about downtown’s changing economy and hear from current downtown business owners.  From there, they will be able to speak 1 to 1 with a variety of service providers who cater to small business development.
