Free Kids Smashburger Meal for Helping Food Bank RGV Collect School Supplies

Image via WikipediaFor the last couple weeks of July, from the 18th to the 30th, Smashburger in McAllen is partnering up with the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley to collect school supplies for the Food Bank RGV's School Tools program. All you do is bring in three school supply items, such as three boxes of pencils, three packs of paper, three boxes of crayons (don't be chintzy on those), or other items, and Smashburger will give you a free kids meal. It's that simple.

Anybody who has been to Smashburger probably doesn't need an excuse to go; so consider the free kids meal as icing on your big-hearted, charitable cake.

The Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley collects school supplies to help with their mission of fighting hunger in the Rio Grande Valley. For families who are already struggling with making ends meet, the annual school supply shopping can be a challenge. To help parents who have to choose between groceries or school supplies, the Food Bank RGV School Tools program provides the school supplies at no cost.

If you would like to know more about Food Bank RGV, including their need for donations and volunteers, visit http://www.foodbankrgv.com. Make it a point to take some action while you're there. Awareness is good; but action is better. Food Bank needs YOUR help.

If you would like to learn more about Smashburger, I would normally point you to their website; BUT instead, you need to boogie on down to 1020 W. Nolana in McAllen and let your taste buds tell you everything you need to know. Seriously.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally. Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north. Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain. This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings. Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
