The Starcks, The Rabbs, and a Plantation House

Image
By Diego Garcia III | Editor of The Brownsville Beacon If Brownsville were split into boroughs like New York City, Southmost would definitely be one of them. Southmost is one of the oldest parts of Brownsville, and has recently gained notoriety for having some of Brownsville's best authentic home-style Mexican restaurants. Vera's Backyard Bar-B Que was recently featured on The Texas Bucket List. Brownsville residents regularly make their way to taquerias and eateries on Southmost.  When I was an elementary school student, I was bused to Morningside Elementary for school. Our school bus always drove down Southmost, and I clearly remember passing by a drive-in theater on the way to school. Eventually, the drive-in would be torn down and an H-E-B would eventually be built around the area where the drive-in was. If you continue driving down Southmost past Morningside Road, Southmost begins twisting, turning, and curving. Eventually, you'll reach Sabal Palm Grove Road. Whe...

It's interesting to see road issues persist on Boca Chica Boulevard some 60 years later. A woman didn't want to wait for a train stalled...

The Brownsville Blogosphere's Landscape is Changing

Image
By Diego Garcia III | Editor of The Brownsville Beacon The times, they are a changin'. The Brownsville Blogosphere has been going through an evolution of sorts. It seems 2020 has seen changes everywhere. Jerry McHale, publisher of the McHale Report , often times refers to Brownsville as the blogging capital of Texas. That's probably because the city's newspaper is a shell of the shell it used to be. The old Herald  offices close to downtown sit abandoned and dormant. Their skeleton crew works out of an office in the VentureX Building off the expressway. Because of the Herald's lack of local reporting, bloggers have usually reported on local stories and provided Brownsvillians with the goings-on around town. But the bloggers aren't what they used to be. Brownsville has starred to see a shift from blogs to video blogs, or vlogs, that are posted to Facebook and YouTube. For years, the gold standard has been blogs by Brownsville blogging royalty - Juan Monto...
