CONCRETE PLANS FALL INTO PLACE FOR A D'TOWN BOOKSTORE

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Búho hatched in early 2022 as a means to cater and serve the curious minds of Brownsville, Texas.

Búho is currently in the research and development phase, focusing on learning more about what the community would like to see in a bookstore. A site for the store has been tentatively listed as 1140 E. Washington Street.

"Brownsville, Texas is the largest metropolitan area in America whose largest city does not have a traditional, full-service bookstore," founder Gilbert Hernandez wrote on his social media page.

"Businesses like Barnes &Noble point to our area's low literacy rates as their reason for not establishing a location here. While the focus on averages based on questionable, incomplete data, Búho  focuses on individuals; we're here to serve Brownsville readers like you who love books while welcoming all curious minds who would like to pick up reading. 

"We invite your to visit our upcoming pop-up book fairs while we are building the foundations for Búho upcoming brick-and-mortar bookstore in downtown Brownsville. Everything is falling into place. 

"Since we know that a café can easily compete in Brownsville, our series of pop-ups will gauge our city's taste for books.

"Make sure to visit our debut pop-up/market study at the Amigoland Convention Center on March 13 from 1-6 p.m."

‘God just really laid it on our hearts’: Central Texas surgeons make trip to war-torn Ukraine to offer resources, hope.

Concern about local health problems that are not on the other side of the world, but its about white on white. Local health problems don't concern these gringos.
WHY? because health problems here are Hispanic's.

It won't last. Brownsville doesn't read; it eats!


If Barnes & Noble leaves you, that means you're not into books.



fact.

So just drive to McAllen for 2 Barnes & Noble and a better way of life. Better restaurants, stores, education, people. Browntown produces nothing but misery. People can’t read anyway in Browntown.

I give this place maybe 3 weeks till they realize that they need to close down. No one in Brownsville is interested in reading books. You have a better chance at success at doing parody videos for da' blimp. Poor retard does videos thinking people enjoy them, but only watch them to see how weird and creepy he can be.

Like the Cafe con Libros in the movie Desperado. The least English literate city in south Texas.

In the city of Brownsville READ & BOOK are just four letter words. People don't even read the traffic signs!

Yet another hipster startup business trying to establish itself in America's smelly scrotum that is downtown Brownsville. The bookstore will fail, just cut your loses. Amazon killed the bookstores along time ago.

Open a walking street downtown prefer elizabeth will make more money and will keep the corruption going. So sean pendejos, walking streets are becoming more popular than bike trails.

The entire towns in the RGV are better than Brownsville, why?, stupid city commissioners and millions for bike and hike trails that no one knows how to use. The city is spending thousands on maintaining the desert bike and hike trails. McAllen, Pharr, Edinburg, Weslaco, Harlingen, Mercedes and more to come are better organized. Where are the tourists in Brownsville,
in the upper valley. Brownsville is trash city of the RGV plus Brownsville grows more tires in every street corner. That should bring tourists to take pictures of the ghetto city of the RGV.

BISD no longer requires that students have the ability to read. Only Idea schools, but are considering a change.

Juanito will no longer find books on alleys. Scavengers are looking for books everywhere to go sell them at the new store, with comments like: dis belonged to my grand father or my ancestors from a long time ago. FACT.

With all the cartel devil worshippers that live around here except a few copies of the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.

The city ordinance now requires that home restrooms have a reading shelf next to the toilet. The new city manager just approved it. Ya al' know who!
