looks like Old Folks Night at the Half Moon. Get some young acts, dude!
A man was hospitalized Friday morning after jumping from the second floor of a downtown parking garage, authorities said. Stunned witnesses said the man, who has not yet been identified, told a friend, “I love you, man,” before leaping. The garage is located near the downtown Whataburger, according to the police department. Officers arrived at the scene around 2:15 a.m. and found the man with a “serious laceration to his skull” and other injuries. He was taken to the hospital in serious condition. What prompted the man to jump is still under investigation, police said.
A woman living on Brownsville's east side says she can't believe a group of coyotes are hanging around her home. She has photos and videos of the animals in a field nearby her house. Animal experts say coyote sightings are common in the city, and they are likely more visible now because of the harsh winter. The wintry conditions have made it harder for the animals to hunt for food. Tim Payne with the Texas Department of Natural Resources says the coyotes aren't likely to attack, and that Texas has no record of a coyote attacking a person. He suggests if you come across a coyote, protect yourself by throwing things at the animal, waving your arms and making loud noises and the animal will likely shy away. Remember to keep an eye on your small pets because they will be a target for the coyotes. And if you have coyotes around your home and are leaving food out for them, stop doing so immediately.
Police are trying to identify a man who robbed a Jack in the Box. The robbery occurred at 1 a.m. April 11 at the restaurant by Hiway 77N. It is Crime Stoppers of Brownsville's Crime of the Week. Police said the man was seen walking past the restaurant several times before he went inside to one of the restrooms. When the man came out of the restroom, he went to the counter, used a handgun to threaten an Hispanic employee and demanded money from the register. He left with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police described the man as 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 140 pounds with hair in a pony tail, brown eyes and a beard. He wore a gray hooded sweatshirt with a black zipper down the middle, black sleeve cuffs and a pocket on the left breast. "The man is extremely dangerous," said a police spokesman, "so we are advising everyone to not try and detain him. Simply call police."
A kitchen fire claimed the life of a dog and injured its owner on Saturday. At about 6:17 p.m. Saturday firefighters responded to a house fire on the 300 block of Wilcox. When firefighters arrived they saw smoke coming from the roof of the home. Officials said a 70-year-old woman was home and burnt her hand as a result of the fire. Fire crews evacuated the woman from her home but were unable to rescue her dog. The woman was treated for first degree burns by the fire department. Officials said the fire started in the kitchen but the cause is still being investigated. Damages to the home are estimated at $5,000, officials said.
Police are investigating what they call a "frightening" road-rage incident that occurred Saturday night when the driver of a sedan fired five shots at a family traveling in a sports utility vehicle, with one of the bullets grazing the leg of the 3-year-old girl strapped in a car seat behind her parents. The names of the family members were not released Sunday. "You could see that the bullet grazed her leg and knee. But she is OK and already back home with her family now," said one witness. According to investigators, the family was southbound on Allen when they saw another car driving erratically in the same direction about 10:30 p.m. Saturday. "They thought it was a DWI or something, and decided to get around it," Officer Gil Gilbert said. "But as they passed it, they heard what sounded like three shots being fired into the air." When the family stopped at a red light at the intersection with Avenue A, the sedan's driver pulled up next to them and fired five shots through their back window of the car, Gilbert said, adding that he may have felt like the family cut him off.
Café Mayapan is as rich in history as its menu is in traditional healthy Mexican cuisine — and both pay homage to the region's indigenous roots. The restaurant uses grilling and steaming for most of its foods, and when in season, fresh farmer's market produce. The restaurant is run by local nonprofit organizations, such as La Mujer Obrera, that work to improve the lives of low-income families in part by providing access to healthy food, job training and jobs. Walking into the spacious, colorful restaurant, you'll notice the Aztec artwork on the walls and tables, and feel at ease with the low-volume background music that never interrupts the lunch conversation. The wait staff is extremely friendly, which may forgive that their service can be slow at times. Then comes the food. The Chile Con Queso as an appetizer was a great start, a good-sized bowl of long green chile slices in a spicy chicken broth with tomatoes, onions and cheese. The hearty, soupy dish was easy to eat on a tortilla chip or wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. A fan of tortilla soup, I also had to try the Sopa Azteca, made with chipotle sauce and tomato broth, cheese, avocado and crisp tortilla strips. Served in a medium-sized bowl, the tasty and filling sopa alone may be my next lunch. On this visit, my lunch companion tried and loved a restaurant specialties — the fish filet prepared Veracruz style, served with fluffy rice, Mexican squash, green olives and other vegetables. Although misspelled on the menu, there's no mistake the Fish Filet Veracruzana was perfectly cooked, seasoned and topped.
This is one ugly cantina!
