🌦️ The Forecast
📰 The Local Rundown
🇺🇸 Where to Honor Veterans on Wednesday
Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and two cities in our area are holding public ceremonies that morning, both at 11 AM.
North Richland Hills hosts its 19th annual Veterans Day Celebration indoors in the City Hall lobby at 4301 City Point Dr. The program includes a wreath of honor, the NRH Police and Fire Honor Guard presenting the colors, patriotic music and a keynote address from Bill "Big Sarge" Hansen, a U.S. Marine Corps and Army National Guard veteran.
In Trophy Club, the town's celebration runs from 11 AM to noon at Veterans Memorial Park, 501 Parkview Dr. Free parking is available at Independence Park West and along nearby public streets; just don't block driveways or mailboxes.
If you have errands that day, note that Trophy Club's town offices are closed for the holiday, while police, fire and EMS stay on duty, and the Colleyville Public Library is closed too.
🕊️ A Walk for Peace Brought Neighbors Together in Colleyville
People of different faiths, along with nonreligious neighbors, gathered in the gym at First United Methodist Church of Colleyville on Saturday for the Peace Together walk, an interfaith gathering meant to promote peace and unity, the Fort Worth Report reported.
After singing together with a choir, the group set out on a nearly 3-mile walk to McPherson Park, passing schools, synagogues and churches along the way. "We must not wait until hatred reaches our own doorstep before we recognize the importance of standing with our neighbors," said Howard Rosenthal, president and founder of Peace Together. Omar Yousuf, president of the Islamic Center of Southlake, shared a message from the Quran about God creating people from different tribes so they might get to know one another.
Water, shawarma wraps and coffee waited at the finish. Walkers lingered at the park pavilion afterward, some swapping phone numbers while a few kids played cornhole.
🍽️ Local Table 🍽️
❤️ Local Favorite: Breakfast All Day at a Keller Family Kitchen
❤️ Local Favorite: Kassandra's Mexican Kitchen | 813 Keller Pkwy., Keller
Juan Perez named his restaurant after his daughter when he and his wife, Gloria, opened it in Keller in 2004, according to a 2021 Community Impact profile. Perez worked his way up from busboy to the kitchen before saving enough to open his own place, and over the years he has named some menu dishes after longtime regulars.
Breakfast is served all day, from the Mailman Special to a carne asada and egg skillet with homemade tortillas, and weekday lunch specials run from 10 AM to 3 PM. Among the most popular dishes, Community Impact noted, is the Parrillada Mix, fajitas with chicken, steak, shrimp and sausage. Kassandra's is only open on weekdays, 9:30 AM to 9 PM, so Monday is a good day to go.
