City Commissioner Ben Neece adds his dab of color when he opens the Spanish Moon Thursday night for his Grand Opening.
"It's been a process because the second-floor structure required immense work to reach its present stage, but I'm getting there. By opening Thursday, it's going to inspire me to work even harder on the project.
"If we baby-boomers aren't willing to step forward like a George Ramirez and lead the younger generations who are succumbing to the beauty of our living museum, then it ain't never gonna happen. But it is going to happen."
The Spanish Moon will specialize in coffee originating from Jamaica and Chiapas. It is an evolving undertaking that will also include alcohol. Music will be a top priority. Thursday lineup is Neece walking the walk rather than just talking the talk.
Mayolo will open the show at seven with Doc Scully following. Neece himself will take the stage and Linda the Sound Bombers will close the evening.
"Downtown is rising from the dead," offered Neece. "A sushi restaurant opened last week and TSC Trustee Trey Mendez told me that a pizza joint is going to open in the Fernandez Building, which he opens. And the Half Moon's reopening is imminent. I like it. It's time for the people of Brownsville to start liking it."

Who cares? McHale writes up every bar where he drinks. Downtown is dead!
Downtown needs to be revived, but what about removing all those prostitutes in Adams Street?
Should’ve gave it a better name how about the “burning hospice Bar”or the “shallow breath Saloon” or even the “Falling stairs showhouse”
For once, this doofus son of Barton wrote something funny. I particularly got a kick of Shallow Breath Saloon. It's rough climbing them stairs. May I suggesr: Viagra Blues Bar? or The Creaky Joint or On My Neece Inn? Burning Hospice...funny guy...more so cause he hangs out with octogenarian musical legend Turkey Silva
Fuck you, Diego ! Your stupid, Super-Fly photo is ridiculous ! Go back to the "Broke back Mountain " photo, menso .
So Neece lives inside a cafe?
