The Digest

• Coming to a downtown corner soon….Sagrado will open in former Fuzzy’s spot on University Parks. Owned by the family behind El Mar Seafood, you know it’s going to be good.

• Waco loves a new restaurant unlike anywhere else. Jorge’s Cantina experienced this first hand two weekends ago as they opened their doors to over 2,300 people.

• Closed: After 20 years Waco Consignment Furniture closed its doors due to rising rent costs.

• Amnesty for parking tickets. Last year Judge Bobby Garcia introduced an amnesty from arrest warrants for unpaid tickets this month and will waive fees or set up payment plans for anyone facing financial hardship. Last year 2,770 warrants were cleared. 🚙
