Hey Abilene! Yesterday was quite eventful around town, so let’s dive into the highlights. In Buffalo Gap, the Taylor County Sheriff's Office put out a call for help in identifying a suspect linked to a theft at the local hardware store. If you happen to have any info, they’re eager to hear from you. It's always a good reminder for us to keep an eye out for each other and our local businesses.
Meanwhile, over in Hamlin, things took a more serious turn as five individuals were arrested in connection with a burglary ring that had been targeting homes and businesses in Jones County. The Hamlin Police Department has been on the case, and it sounds like they’re making some solid progress. Let’s hope this brings some peace of mind to the affected residents as the investigation unfolds.
On a lighter note, Abilene Christian University was in the spotlight for some positive news! The school received national recognition from U.S. News & World Report, highlighting its exceptional academic programs. It’s always great to see our local university getting the accolades it deserves, showcasing the hard work of both faculty and students.
Lastly, a new development is on the horizon for Taylor County with an RV park set to launch, boasting over 2,300 lots! This could bring some exciting opportunities for tourism and local business. And just to keep everyone on their toes, a lightning strike caused a house fire in south Abilene yesterday evening, but thankfully firefighters responded quickly. It seems like there’s never a dull moment around here—stay safe, everyone!

Hey there! Let’s catch up on what went down yesterday in Abilene. It was a busy day, especially with high school football kicking off Week 5 across the Big Country. If you didn’t make it to the games, don’t worry—there was excitement in the air as teams took the field, ready to show off their skills and vie for those bragging rights.

Hey there! So, yesterday was quite eventful here in Abilene. One of the biggest stories was the bittersweet retirement of Dr. Larry Ellis, our beloved local veterinarian. After nearly five decades of caring for our furry friends, he’s hanging up his stethoscope, and you can bet he’ll be missed. Dr. Ellis has been a cornerstone of the community, treating pets and comforting their owners with his warm smile and expert care. It's hard to imagine our town without him, but we wish him all the best in this new chapter!
