Positioned on what used to be the only highway through town, Magnolia Table now draws in patrons from around the country and the globe. Though a new restaurant itself, the Table resides in a building with a rich history that has welcomed hungry visitors for decades. The unique Spanish-style structure used to be home to a local staple, the Elite Café. If you're coming in town to enjoy Spring at the Silos, make sure to stop by a grab a bit to eat. #wacohistorywednesday #localhistorymatters Click here for the full story: https://wacohistory.org/items/show/189 (fb)

This Memorial Day, we remember a local hero and advocate. Manuel “Manny” Sustaita was a Vietnam veteran, civil activist, and the founder of Waco Citizens for a Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Though an insurance salesman by trade, he spent most of his life advocating for veterans and their families, Hispanic communities, and other underserved groups in Waco. #wacohistory #localhistorymatters #memorialday Click here for the full story: https://wacohistory.org/items/show/249 (fb)
