Cinemark Pharr Town Center and XD
You may want to visit the new Cinemark Pharr Town Center and XD, one of the latest movie theaters in the Rio Grande Valley. In addition to XD movies, the theater offers additional experience improvements you will not find at other theaters, such as hot beverages, beer, wine, and ice cream. Off course, they also offer the standard fare of hot dogs, popcorn, candy (by the pound), and nachos.

April Showers and May Flowers in 2013
The old saying is "April showers bring May flowers." Things didn't quite turn out that way for us this year. April did bring in some last minute showers at the end. They were good rains; but, they just weren't enough to help with the water restrictions being set by cities in the Rio Grande Valley.
Even with the dry weather, it seems like nature isn't having any of it. Our native vegetation goes with the flow and flowers anyway.
From overheard discussions, the thinking is that we need a good hurricane to drop some water over Texas so we can recover from the drought conditions. That's a tough one. We do want rain; but, a hurricane is maybe a bit much too fast.
Unfortunately, we aren't likely to get a rainy season that would replenish our wells, rivers, and lakes.
Let's hope that May kicks in the rain that April shirked.

RGV Life Now With More Interaction
Google has announced, today, that they have enabled a feature that allows comments on Blogger posts to use Google Plus. This means that bloggers no longer have to do double the work of checking comments on both the blog and Google Plus....and the other social media outlets.
This means that +RGV Life and this blog are one and the same for interaction. This is a welcome change as posts from this blog, in recent years, have seen fewer comments now that readers are able to comment on Facebook and Google+.
We have enabled the feature and look forward to the changes.
