The lowdown: When a home's design is equal to its jaw-dropping surroundings, you know you've found something special. This modern lakehouse, just 90 minutes from San Antonio in the Highland Lakes area of the Texas Hill Country, architecturally plays to its 258 feet of open waterfront of Lake LBJ. Rich, warm wood and beautiful blue hues of the elegant interior complement the soothing palette of the lake, while flowing seamlessly out to the tranquil pool, patio, and balcony areas that lead to open waterfront. A thoughtfully placed double stall boat house does not obstruct the views.

San Antonio's Welcome Walk & Festival returns to celebrate immigrant and refugee families

Mayor Ron Nirenberg will join the free, family-friendly celebration.

Returning for the second year, a special event this weekend will celebrate the journey and cultural heritage of immigrants and refugees who have made their home in the San Antonio area. Hosted by the City of San Antonio and local nonprofit Culturingua, the Welcome Walk & Festival takes place at the Rosemont at Denman Estate Park from 10 am to 2pm on Saturday, November 12.

On its website, Culturingua shares its mission to "cultivate, promote, and preserve Middle Eastern, North African, and South Asian (MENASA) cultural, linguistic, and artistic heritage to invest in human, community, and economic development." Since 2018, the group's innovative programming has focused on building bridges to foster human development and civic engagement in order to serve the Bexar County community.

According to the Welcome Walk & Festival event page, over 250 members participated in the 2021 event. The celebration was such a success that city leaders encouraged Culturingua to make it an annual occurrence.

"As the need for refugee resettlement has grown, San Antonio has taken the lead to become a welcoming ground, and ultimately home, for many refugees and immigrants seeking a new life in the U.S," the event description reads. "San Antonio Welcome Walk & Festival is an event that was created to embrace these new faces in the community."

Saturday's celebration will kick off with a one-mile walk with San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, symbolizing the journey of immigrants and refugees to the United States. Nirenberg will also deliver remarks during the event, along with other local leaders.

“For more than 300 years, San Antonio has been a city of immigrants and refugees,” says Nirenberg in a release. “When we talk about San Antonio to the world, they know it is through our diversity that we find strength, and through the embrace of our diversity that we find unity.”

Nirenberg added, “I cannot think of a better to express who we are as a community, here in San Antonio, than to start with a welcome walk in which everyone is welcome to join us.”

The free, family-friendly event will feature food vendors, children's activities, an immigrant-owned small business market, and more, including:

  • The launch of Nourish to Flourish Mobile Commercial Kitchen, a culinary training facility that empowers immigrants and refugees with guidance, skills, and mentorship when entering or expanding into the culinary industry.
  • The kickoff of San Antonio for Global Entrepreneurship Week, an international celebration of entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world.
  • The San Antonio launch of Kiva, an internationally renowned, global microlending platform that expands access to capital for entrepreneurs with zero-percent interest character-based loans. Three locally- and immigrant-owned restaurant owners will present their Kiva loan request to the community.

For more information and to register (for free) in advance, visit the event’s website.

Election News

Texas voters re-elect Abbott, Patrick, and more of the same in mid-term election

The results of the mid-term election are in.

Texans maintained the status quo in the November 8 mid-term election, re-electing Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton by similar majorities.

Results of all elections can be found at results.texas-election.com/races.

  • Abbott won by 55.11 percent, with a tally of 4,335,425 votes, while runner-up Beto O'Rourke earned 43.52 percent or 3,424,074 votes.
  • Patrick garnered 54.08 percent or 4,216,864 votes, against Democratic challenger Mike Collier, who earned 43.18 percent with 3,367,033 votes.
  • Paxton trailed with 53.75 percent or 4,178,494 votes, against runner-up Rochelle Mercedes Garza, who got 43.36 percent or 3,371,361 votes.
  • Sid Miller was re-elected Commissioner of Agriculture with 46.63 percent or 4,372,741 votes, versus opponent Susan Hays who earned 43.37 percent or 3,349,247 votes.
  • Wayne Christian was re-elected Railroad Commissioner with 55.7 percent or 4,296,565 votes, beating top contender Luke Warford who scored 40.24 percent or 3,104,474 votes.
In San Antonio, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar was re-elected, besting Republican challenger Cassy Garcia by 56.6 percent to 43.4 percent.

Austin's race for Mayor will go to a run-off. None of the six candidates earned more than 50 percent, so voters will choose from the two top candidates — former Austin mayor and state senator Kirk Watson and State Rep. Celia Israel — in a runoff election on December 13.

In Dallas, County Judge Clay Jenkins was re-elected, as was District Attorney John Cruezot, who earned 59.36 percent of the vote against challenger Faith Johnson's 40.64 percent. The city also passed Proposition A, which will raise hotel occupancy taxes from 13 to 15 percent, with the funds to be used to renovate Fair Park and the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center.

In Fort Worth, the new Tarrant County Judge replacing Glen Whitley will be Tim O’Hare, a former mayor of Farmers Branch who had the support of Donald Trump; he defeated Democratic candidate Deborah Peoples, who has run for Fort Worth mayor twice.

Houston experienced issues with polling places that did not open on time, or malfunctions that caused delays and temporary closures. A group called Texas Organizing Project successfully petitioned Harris County to extend the voting hours until 8 pm, but the Texas Supreme Court ordered Harris County election officials to separate out any ballots that were cast after hours.

A location at Texas State University in San Marcos also suffered malfunctions with five out of eight machines, causing wait times of four hours or more.

Five cities — Denton, San Marcos, Killeen, Elgin, and Harker Heights — approved propositions to decriminalize low-level possession of marijuana, following the example of Austin, which passed a similar proposition in May.

For the first time, voters were given "no straight ticket" option to vote quickly for all one party or another requiring a click on each individual race — the result of HB25, a law pushed through by Republicans in the Texas Legislature in 2017, which killed the straight ticket option.
