Hey there, neighbor! So, yesterday was quite the day in Abilene, starting with some exciting news from our local KTAB/KRBC/Telemundo station. They snagged a Lone Star Emmy for their coverage of historical and cultural news, marking their fifth win! It’s always a thrill to see our local media recognized for their hard work, and it’s a great reminder of the talent we have right here in town.
On a different note, we had some serious discussions happening after a tragic event at the Abilene Regional Airport. Authorities are looking into a recent fatal crash where a driver hit a shocking 234 mph before the incident. It raises questions about whether our city should continue hosting these high-speed racing events. It’s a tough balance between adrenaline-fueled excitement and ensuring the safety of our community, and I’m sure many of us have mixed feelings about it.
In other news, there were some unsettling developments regarding crime in our area. A former Abilene ISD bus driver was charged with injury to a child after allegedly hitting a student while on duty. That’s definitely a story that hits close to home for many of us who rely on school transportation. Plus, there’s an Abilene man facing serious charges for both robbery and carjacking just days apart, which is concerning for everyone as we navigate daily life here.
Finally, it looks like the holiday spirit is starting to bloom! Breckenridge is gearing up for its annual Mingle & Jingle festival, and I can already hear the bells ringing in my mind. It’s always heartwarming to see our neighboring towns celebrate the season, and I’m sure many of us are looking forward to some festive fun. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for more holiday happenings as we head into December!

Hey there, neighbor! So, yesterday was quite the day in Abilene, and I wanted to fill you in on some of the highlights that had everyone talking. First up, we saw U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington take a moment to reflect on his time in office as he prepares to step down from serving District 19.

Hey there, neighbor! Let’s catch up on what happened yesterday in Abilene. One of the most heartwarming stories came from the world of veterans. There’s a local veteran on a mission to help others heal from their inner battles through the use of psychedelics. It’s a powerful initiative that seeks to address the invisible wounds many service members face after coming home. It’s great to see our community supporting those who’ve fought for us in such innovative ways, isn’t it?
