Like live comedy? Check out Steve Treviño during his three-night stand at the Backyard. And there’s plenty of live music to choose from: everyone from Venus E to the Huser Brother Band to The Can’t Hardly Playboyz. And it looks like the monthly Eastside Market at Brotherwell Brewing could be the biggest and best one yet.
Plus, Carrie Maddux talks about her Waco Moms website, Kevin Tankersley interviews a Baylor professor helping design safer playgrounds, and Tessa Kriesel details the many problems that come with moving to Waco in a blizzard.
