Good morning, Abilene.

Breakfast On Beech Street has served Abilene since 1996 by providing free breakfasts and sack lunches each weekday morning at Perry Center (at N.

Third and Beech streets) through a joint effort of five local congregations to help those in need.

Mona's Sports Bar 2 is preparing to open in west Abilene on Dec.

1 at 3525 N. Sixth St.—the former Horseshoe Bar is being renovated to offer a safer spot for sports fans, local music, and rotating food trucks.

A new video highlights the vintage fashion and décor at The Vintage Collective, showing a mix of streetwear and classic treasures for local shoppers.

Construction began on Oct.

22 on a new downtown Abilene parking lot that will add about 140 free public spaces including accessible spots (with sidewalk and landscaping improvements) at the corner of North Second and Pine streets. Work will continue into next year, so motorists and pedestrians should use caution near the site.

Abilene Parks and Recreation Board approved renaming the recreation center at Arthur Sears Park after Billy Enriquez, a lifelong advocate who served on the ISD Board and mentored local youth.

Former Mayor Anthony Williams supported the change, noting Enriquez’s significant contributions to neighborhood programs.

A new sports bar is set to open later this year in west Abilene as a video shows its progress (the venue aims to boost local nightlife).
