A longtime Mexican restaurant in downtown Bryan closed its doors Monday afternoon.
The owner of Los Nortenos, Julian Cedillo, sold the building housing the popular eatery since 1985.
Cedillo thanked customers who came from Texas and surrounding states to his restaurants, which dates back to the early 1970’s.
Cedillo says an investor has purchased the property and he plans to travel in his new Corvette.
Julian Cedillo visits with WTAW’s Bill Oliver.
The rabbi who directs the Texas A&M Jewish Student Center posts on social media that his son, who was shot last month in a terrorist attack in Australia, is out of the hospital. Yossi Lazaroff has several videos on his X/Twitter account @AggieRabbi about what his son Leibel has done since his release after a five week hospitalization that included 11 surgeries. The videos includes playing piano at a memorial service at the Sydney Opera House where he was given a standing ovation. That performance was four hours after he was released from the hospital. Another video shows Leibel Lazaroff at the location where he was shot on Bondi Beach. Click below to hear some of audio from the Chabad.org videos shared on the @AggieRabbi X/Twitter account.
