LOVE III, CMO MAYOR PRO TEM CITY OF MIDLAND What makes a Texas city beautiful? That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? I do know one thing—every city official thinks their own city is beautiful in its own way. I know that I do. There’s something about West Texas that gives my city that something extra, but I’m sure you feel the same way about Spring, or Waco, or Colleyville, or wherever you call home. This issue of Texas Town & City is devoted to city beautification. Don’t think that city beauty is something that just happens on its own without some assistance. The truth is there’s so much we can actively do to help enhance what’s already appealing about our towns. You’ll read arti- cles about Scenic Texas certification, Governor’s award winners, and many articles about what individual Texas cities are doing that’s unique in the field of beautification. And there’s more—this issue continues to ramp up toward the Annual Conference with lots of information about what to expect October 9-11 in San Antonio. It will be a great week on the River Walk. I hope you’ll visit with me at the event and let me know why your city is the most

  • Fuddruckers Hits It out of the Park with a Limited Edition ‘Game Changer’ Burger, Marking the Iconic Fast Casual Chain’S New Partnership with the Houston Astros
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Toni Niece [email protected] FUDDRUCKERS HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH A LIMITED EDITION ‘GAME CHANGER’ BURGER, MARKING THE ICONIC FAST CASUAL CHAIN’S NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HOUSTON ASTROS HOUSTON, TX – April xx, 2016 – Fuddruckers is proud to announce its new partnership with the Houston Astros. The landmark, Houston-based fast casual chain has been named the Official Hamburger of the hometown heroes. The duo of local teams has joined forces to introduce the “Game Changer” burger at company-owned locations in Houston, Austin and San Antonio through June 29. The Game Changer offers a home run for the taste buds with a combination of an all- natural Nolan Ryan’s Beef patty and half a Black Angus hot dog under one bun, topped with cheddar cheese, chili and beer-glazed onions. According to Peter Tropoli, Chief Operating Officer of Luby’s, Inc. “America’s favorite pastime has always been closely tied to the Fuddrucker’s fast casual and landmark Luby’s cafeteria brands – both longtime supporters of little league in their respective communities. Astros fans will now see the familiar Fuddruckers and Luby’s logos in Houston’s Minute Maid Park and can anticipate future promotions celebrating this exciting partnership that encompasses both chains.” The decision to use Ryan’s eponymous beef line for the limited-time offering goes beyond its quality. The eight-time MLB All-Star pitcher played for both the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers over the course of his four-decade career, while his son, Reid Ryan, the President of Baseball Operations for the Houston Astros, played an instrumental role in the Fuddruckers partnership.

  • ASTROS DAILY CLIPS Wednesday, September 9, 2015
    ASTROS DAILY CLIPS Wednesday, September 9, 2015 Scott Kazmir coughs up four runs as Astros drop second straight to A’s By: Jose de Jesus Ortiz / Houston Chronicle OAKLAND – Scott Kazmir turned and leaned to the side as he agonizingly tracked Mark Canha’s line drive Tuesday night. He then shook his head in disgust after the shot sailed through the air on the fair side of the left field pole for a three-run home run, pushing the Astros closer back to the AL West pack. Brought in to bolster the Astros’ rotation for the pennant stretch, Kazmir could not match his protégé Sonny Gray in his first outing against the A’s since Oakland traded him to his hometown team on July 23. Gray and reliever Ryan Dull combined for a shutout and Canha broke open a one-run game with his three-run home run to propel the A’s to a 4-0 victory before a crowd of 11,364. “It’s always frustrating losing games, especially at a time like this when we really need to take care of business,” Kazmir said. “You have to stay positive and trust what’s gotten us here this entire year, and we’ll be just fine. “We can’t let a game like this really bother us and we can’t let it carry on for tomorrow’s game and the series after that.” The AL West-leading Astros are now off to an 0-2 start on their crucial 10-game trip through Oakland, Anaheim and Arlington.

  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS –May 30, 2018 Hits keep coming for Rockies in victory Thomas Harding / MLB.com | May 30, 2018 DENVER -- It took nearly two months, but the Rockies have finally made themselves at home at Coors Field. A season-best fourth straight night of double figures in hits -- including Trevor Story's first-inning RBI triple, eight doubles that included two by Nolan Arenado and one by starting pitcher Kyle Freeland, and David Dahl's two run, pinch-hit homer in the seventh -- led to an 11-4 victory over the Giants on Tuesday night. The Rockies, who had 15 hits, built their lead in the National League West mainly on solid starting pitching and a 19-13 road record, which covered for a slow start at Coors Field. However, they are 4-1 on a nine-game homestand, and they're in a stretch of 12 of 15 at 20th and Blake. "We're picking up lately," said Carlos Gonzalez, who went 2-for-5 with an RBI and is 8-for-13 in his last three games. "I feel like we'd been spoiled by the pitchers the entire year. At some point, we knew we were going to get things going." The three-game series concludes Wednesday night, with the Giants sporting what could be one tired bullpen, for two reasons: First, manager Bruce Bochy matched aggressively by using five relievers in the Rockies' 6-5, 10-inning victory Monday. Then injuries struck Tuesday. 1 A two-run first that included Story's triple came against Giants starter Jeff Samardzija (1-4), who didn't come back for the second inning because of right shoulder tightness.
