7-11 with Laredo Taco inside. Read on a SB facebook group where one of the members things this is going to be one of their concept stores. Havent seen anything to actually confirm that though.

I did the growlers to go at Cobble & Spoke yesterday... awesome idea and the bears were great but I learned the hard way not asking the price before getting the bill. $95 for 5 32oz cans. The wife was happy so I was happy.

Cobble & Spoke only carries beers that aren't available in stores so their prices are higher, but holy crap that's $9 a pint.

I've gotten several 10%+ abv beers in crowlers from Cobble in the past few weeks. Those get pricey fast.

I've definitely have spent more $/week in the lockdown than i normally did due to not having to drive home.

I got a growler of Ommegang Flying Saucer 25th Anniversary (>10%) from the saucer on Sunday in their "$15 any nonTX draft". Hughies has $12 64fills on most beers on the weekends, TX beers on Tuesdays, and $8 fills on two fire sale beers on Wednesdays.

I shouldn't post this but hopefully the people reading this thread aren't a bunch of little snitches. There's a fella in the Gazebo@Haden giving haircuts and beard trims.

He told me haircuts are $5 and he does a great job. I didn't inquire about beard trims but would assume it's the same. Kind of a mix and match deal.

He's been out here the last two days. Perfect weather. If your wig is needing snipped you know the spot.

Definitely a fan of Laredo Taco. I want to be bold and say the Chick-fil-a of tacos. Their lines go quick.

Anyone following the Bike Trail? Sounds like they've finally started on the first part, between Wirt and Blalock.

Drove by Kirby's today, looked to be doing well. I can't wait to check it out myself. Hope it propels more stuff in the area.

I'm guessing that was a fatality accident that has kept Gessner and I10 closed all day? Prayers for whoever was in that vehicle, it looked smashed to bits.

What's going on between witte and gessner between i10 and Westview? It looks like a road only wide enough for one car has been laid. Don't think it reaches all the way to gessner.

Haven't been over there in a while but I think you're talking about the former drainage ditch where they put in covered drainage. That's just north of the SBISD Maintenance and bus barn across from the Chase call center.

Is that the ditch that goes behind HEB? There was once a rumor of a bike path there.

I laugh every time I drive over that thing because the dirt has now settled and it's back to being a ditch.

Torchys and Mias look like they are getting close to opening soon. I did notice that they opened up a wuhan testing site in back parking lot. More testing means higher numbers!

Anyone know why La Michocana smells like an unflushed toilet? I'm a big fan but it does hurt a little taking the first breath in there.

You think flavor comes from clean?

My new go to lunch spot is the Hecho En Mexico bus at Gessner & Nob Oak. The big burrito, quesadilla, and gordita are my favorites. I've been sticking with beef fajita and pastor. Haven't tried the cabeza, tripa or flor de calabaza yet. It is a little different than other taco trucks as they are "Chilango" which google says is Mexico City style.

I've recently discovered Tostaderia Madero's right there at Clay and Blalock

The tacos (breakfast and lunch) and tortas are pretty legit especially the barbacoa

I'm still searching for my local SB replacement for Tierra Caliente on West Alabama. May have to give Maderos a try.
