BROWNSVILLE F.D. DOUSES TRASH FIRE BACK OF EL JARDIN

By Shirley Escobedo

The Brownsville Fire Marshal’s office is investigating a fire at the historic El Jardin Hotel that occurred Wednesday afternoon.

At approximately 2:35 p.m., the Brownsville Fire Department responded to a fire report at the location of 1100 East Levee Street.

According to Brownsville FD, crews came across a heavy fire load in an exterior trash area in the back of the building.

Brownsville FD’s spokesperson says the crews were able to control the fire, and only minimal damage was reported, preventing the loss of several million dollars in property.

El Jardin hotel is currently under renovation by the Housing Authority of the City of Brownsville (HACB) to restore the former hotel into affordable housing for lower-income families.

Homeless person likely passed out smoking his crack pipe. The State of Texas and Cameron County and City of Brownsville and the Va and Catholic Charities are all too busy. Whi is in charge? No one is caring for nor attending to downtown Brownsville's human urchins.

If you just publish the damn Epstein list, this would all be over!! But you can't do that because Donald Trump is a major player in this scandal.

Tribunal declara "inconstitucional" la orden de Donald Trump que busca eliminar la ciudadan铆a por nacimiento

Se trata de la primera vez que un tribunal de apelaciones concluye plenamente que la orden de Trump es inconstitucional, aunque el inquilino de la Casa Blanca podr铆a apelar directamente al Tribunal Supremo.

Our country should reopen Insane asylums to address the issue of mental illness. Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States, or about 59.3 million people, experienced a mental illness in 2022. All of them democrats.

El fuego no empez贸 ayer.
Empez贸 hace d茅cadas, cuando El Jardin se convirti贸 en refugio de sombras —
no de turistas, sino de fantasmas con la pipa encendida.

Ben Neece puso c谩maras para grabar la decadencia en alta definici贸n.
Y a煤n as铆, nadie ve.

Los techos gotean historia. Las banquetas respiran crack.
El downtown es un poema que nadie quiere leer,
pero todos pisan.

Tal vez el incendio fue un accidente.
O tal vez fue el edificio intentando purificarse.

Un motel, una mecha.
Un juicio olvidado en cada habitaci贸n.

Too much stress in the USA and then you realize nothing was worth it and then you go crazy. Normal stuff.

Impressive: Bienvenidos amigos de Mexico. Close to the hotel is the Colonial Hotel, another haunted place.
