Spanish Village Announces Closing Date
Iconic Tex-Mex spot Spanish Village weathered the pandemic and announced its closure in July 2021 — but local businessman Steven Rogers bought the restaurant and helped celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2023. But today Rogers announced that Spanish Village — known for its house margs and El Clásico enchiladas — will close on March 31, also alluding to a yet-to-be-announced project. “There’s absolutely no arguing the impact Spanish Village has had on the Third Ward. The Medina family built something incredible, and I have been honored to be able to continue that,” said Rogers in a statement. “Despite the restaurant closing, it’s important to me and to the community to honor that legacy.” Rogers is currently developing the neighboring 8,000-square-foot property and solicited feedback from Third Ward residents as to what should go there — perhaps a diner, or a mixed-use complex, they said. “I’m excited to begin this new chapter with a project that will benefit them.”

The Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott line is available exclusively online and at rodeos state-wide, including the ones in Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. "Inspired by the time spent on our family ranch, this collection honors the state I call home and puts the modern cowgirl front and center — right where she belongs," said the Austin-based designer in a statement.
Incorporating traditional Southwest designs, textures and materials — howdy, turquoise! — the Yellow Rose pieces also seamlessly blend the bright, colorful style and versatility that the brand is known for. For example, two of the brand’s best-selling stones are combined in the Bronze Veined Turquoise Magnesite Red Oyster ring, reminiscent of a Southwestern sunset.
The 56-piece collection includes the all-new Beau suite — featuring a hand-sketched and sculpted silhouette of Scott’s horse, Beau — and heritage Kendra Scott pieces in new vintage gold and silver metals, plus a curated collection of artisan jewelry available exclusively in-person at the Houston Rodeo. Prices range from $60 to $298, with Rodeo-exclusive jewelry ranging from $98 to $5500.
And, in true Kendra Scott fashion, the brand is bringing the customer experience to life with a play on Kendra Scott’s iconic Color Bar: hat customization! Rodeo attendees can personalize GIGI PIP hats with a broad offering of hat bands, pins, feathers and one-of-a-kind adornments. Hats start at $112, with customization accessories ranging from $2 to $48.
