Ellis Crossroads is a hyperlocal news site focused on Waxahachie, Midlothian, and Red Oak.
The name reflects the compact triangle formed by these neighboring communities: Midlothian to the northwest, Red Oak to the northeast, and Waxahachie to the south. Their roads, rail lines, schools, businesses, and everyday lives are closely connected.
The goal is simple: fast, name-driven local coverage that helps residents stay informed about their schools, sports, community events, and everyday life in the three cities.
We prioritize short, scannable stories over long wire-style reporting. The emphasis is on people, places, and practical local information.
Independent and human-controlled
Ellis Crossroads is independently operated. Every story is selected, reviewed, and published by a person. Automation may help maintain utility information such as weather or road alerts, but it does not publish news stories on its own.
