Hungry? Get thee to the Food Truck Park at the Pan American Courts at 3301 San Bernardo and enjoy the delicious Asian street food from Katsumi Goya. The brussel sprouts/jicama salad was a homerun as was the fried avocado bun. Still hungry? Try the taquitos and the Lenten fare at El Puesto, the other truck in the park. They are open Wednesday through Saturday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Margie Ramirez Ibarra runs a tight, efficient operation at the Webb County Clerk’s office. Ms. Rodriguez in that office was quickly able to locate and copy documents filed in 1972. Ibarra directs the second largest income-generating department in the county.
Dr. Ike’s at Taylor and IH-35 did a great job building some odd-sized replacement window screens. The locally owned store, with its diverse inventory and walking-talking knowledgeable employees in the aisles, is a pleasant throwback to an old hardware store. They even sell oil cloth.
The MC enjoyed lunch at the Longhorn Steak House at Hillside and San Dario. The steak was excellent, but the real delight was a perfectly baked spaghetti squash. Except for the nearby parents who couldn’t control the volume of their children’s inside voices, the experience was pleasant.
