Details on the murder that occurred on Juneteenth were sketchy when we posted yesterday (as we mentioned). More details of the event have been culled since then, and here is what the police think happened at this point. Two men in a Ford Taurus were driving near the Booker T. Washington housing development Tuesday night and accidentally hit a 2-year-old boy. The driver of the car got out (to check on the boy, perhaps)......

Lately there are even more empty places to park than usual in Highland Mall's easy-to-find-a-spot-on-the-Saturday-before-Christmas parking lot. Occupancy is the lowest of any local indoor mall. There are about twenty vacancies near the gaping chasm that once housed J.C. Penney. Greyhawke Capital Advisors purchased that chasm last year and is looking for another retailer to put in the space.

They will also show......

Completion of the first leg of the new Capital MetroRail is less than two years away. The 32-mile-long Red Line will run between Leander and Downtown Austin, with stations positioned strategically near the new Northwest Austin development, Highland Mall, Lakeline Mall, Plaza Saltillo, and more. Currently, both the rail vehicle and many of the stations are still being designed, but they're already promising that the former will include Wi-Fi connections. Over the next two weeks,......

Remember when the new Whole Foods opened up and everyone rushed to go see it? Remember those first couple months when no one bought anything and just wandered around aimlessly from aisle to aisle? Well, replace all that lame, non-alcoholic organic food with mother nature's sweet nectar of life: alcohol. Now, multiply that by three. The Statesman recently reported that we will receive not one, but three Spec's Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods over the......
