The spirit of McAllen crossed borders 🤝🏼 Through the Inter-American Relations Committee and the legendary Friendship Caravan, McAllen didn’t just build roads—it built relationships. With 25-car caravans and full community participation, the connection with Mexico became more than commerce—it became friendship. Watch now to relive the moments that brought two sides closer together. 🌟 Watch now: https://youtu.be/PYi-QUiUix4 #SpiritOfMcAllen #CrossBorderFriendship #McAllenHistory #InterAmericanRelations #RGVLegacy #FriendshipCaravan

That Cut article on “Ugly Cakes” hit a nerve. I’m a small baker, and yes — I make cakes that are bold, nostalgic, sparkly, a little wild. And guess what? People love them. I love them. Not everything has to be sleek or minimal to be beautiful. Some of us find joy in the loud, the quirky, the over-the-top. And that joy? It’s real. It’s valid. And it deserves respect. So no — I’m not baking for Instagram likes. I’m baking for people who want to feel something when they celebrate. I’m baking for joy, whimsy, and wonder — especially when the world tries to make us feel small. ✨ Just because someone at The Cut said cakes like mine are “ugly” doesn’t make it true. I’m not baking for algorithms or aesthetics. I’m baking for JOY. For big feelings. For people who light up when they see a cake that’s bold, nostalgic, sparkly, or just a little bit weird — because that’s what makes it beautiful. You don’t have to get it. But you also don’t get to shame it. This isn’t a trend to me — it’s art. It’s therapy. It’s a love letter to the people who still believe in celebration. So yeah… let people eat cake. Especially the weird, wonderful ones. 💖 — Berta Buggs #LetPeopleEatCake #BertaBuggs #NotTooMuch #UglyCakeClub #MaximalistMagic #JoyIsThePoint

Hey Bookworms! Come meet Anamely Salgado one of our local authors from the RGV. “Paperbacks of My Mother Cursed My Name are out. Thank you to everyone who has read this novel or even just added it to their tbr. And an extra special thanks to those who have told others about it. This story centers on an immigrant family whose matriarch's fear of the government and their power to separate her from her loved ones negatively impacts the way she thinks and acts and taints her relationships with her family for the rest of her life. Community support and understanding is a shining light in her journey. "Home is where the heart is" may sound cliché but it's true for the characters in this story and it's true for people in real life.” ~Anamely Salgado Join us this Thursday June 19th from 5:30-7:00 PM for a short Q & A with the author! Books will be available for purchase. See ya soon, Marty
