POLITICIANS AND CELEBRITIES AT ROAST HOUSE RIBBON CUTTING

(Ed.'s Note: Despite the lack of downtown parking, a throng of elected officials, politicos, business types from the Chamber of Comerce and assorted local celebrities descended to the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the Roast House and Coffee House on 254 Washington St. At extreme left, patriarch Zeke Silva, whose son and daughter operate the coffee roasting enterprise, glad-hands with attendees from behind the counter. Wake up to the day with an exotic, fragrant, and freshly roasted cup of your favorite blend. Break a leg guys, and congrats!)

It takes a lot of courage to open up a small business nowadays. We all need to support our local small businesses, Good luck.

Zeke Silva, Ben Neece - it's the same guy for Montoya. Gotta do the hustle & flow, vatos!

Don't see Capt. Bob or Erasmo, so the celebrity pool there was damned shallow.

Michael Cohen was asking this morning "Why is DOJ treating Donald Trump like a king?"

I have been screaming that for weeks. WTF is going on? You can't indict before the midterms? Screw that. Indict him!!!

Oh, you mean that shop next to Church's Chicken that looks like it's out of business but is actually in business and across the street from the other closed businesses and the home of the homeless gentleman that sleeps in front of the business?

Jeez... good luck.

Your nemesis was taken by ambulance to Valley Baptist. He is being taken to San Antonio for advance care. His friend told people he is bedridden unable to stand or breath without difficulty.

Erasmo Castro and Captain Bob celebrities? More like sad fucks. Folks you really need to up your game when you consider these fools celebrities. It will go to their head. Was la Rata Pelona there? Because these people are bad for business. Las Ratas todo cagan.

The Roast House is the BEST COFFEE SHOP BROWNSVILLE, TX HAS AND THE RGV. They are a family-owned business. Friendly and delicious coffee and pastries. All the haters that are posting negative comments are scared of losing business to the best. The Roast House has the best prices in Brownsville, TX. Best quality and best prices plus awesome service. I wish them the best.

Today I was talking to a friend about the death of Queen Elizabeth and the conversation got to people that die as "celebrities" . Somehow I remembered Dr. Enrique Escobedo (former BISD board member), and I told my friend I had attended his burial because I went with a friend who was a friend of his parents. You want to talk about local celebrities? THAT burial had that. From three former mayors to judges, attorneys, people in the education business (and now in trouble with the law), including the Lucios. As yrs. passed, I WONDER how many of those people remember Mr. Escobedo. How many of those people have even bothered to visit his parents and/or say a prayer for his soul and yet, those people show up to mass on Sunday and call themselves Christians. From the world celebrity to the "local" celebrity", we all end up at the end of the road DEAD AND ALONE, and you never think it's going to happen to you, until IT HAPPENS TO YOU. "THE LION KING" WAS RIGHT. IT Is THE CYCLE OF LIFE.
