(Ed.'s Note: On any given night, pedestrians in downtown Brownsville can see the young people of the city's barrios learning dance and music at the George Ramírez Brownsville Performing Arts Academy in the heart of struggling downtown.
Ramirez played a key role in the years-long project to transform the derelict Stegman Building at E. 11th and Washington streets into the Brownsville Performing Arts Academy. Ramirez told the local daily that his dream was that the newly renovated space could someday be “the heart and soul of Brownsville.”
Ramirez had envisioned the academy has a certified center for El Sistema, an education model created in Venezuela in the mid-1970s and today considered the world’s most advanced method for teaching classic music and dance to at-risk children in disadvantaged areas.
George, we are sure, would be happy seeing his dream is on its way to becoming reality.).

Waste of money 💰 the city can't even fix the streets of Brownsville . Taking away the streets for zero bicycles lanes. Fixing the bike and hike trails a priority over the needs the taxpayers of Brownsville. The city of Brownsville must import tourism that left Brownsville for other cities of the RGV.
Camille play shit, mitte oranization, museum, bike trails and on and on geared for gringos...forget about the city cater to gringos ONLLY...
George is happy seeing it from heaven and because he saw it when he was in earth, our Brownsville children can enjoy it.
