San Antonio Fave El Mana Is Closing 😢

El Mana, the cozy Mexican spot on South Zarzamora, is shutting its doors after 8 years! The owner called it a 'bittersweet' goodbye and thanked everyone for making it more than just a restaurant. If you’re craving their enchiladas or puffy tacos one last time, you’ve got until July 26 to swing by. Gonna miss those chalupas! Who else has memories at El Mana? #Food #SanAntonioEats #SupportLocal

Comfort Cafe just leveled up—Sweet Serenity, their new bakery and coffee shop, is now open in Leon Valley and it’s totally pay-what-you-can! The best part? It’s run by folks in recovery, and every treat or coffee you grab helps support their journey. From croissants to crazy crepes (hello, Nutella!), you can snack and sip for whatever you can afford. Cash only for now, but Apple Pay is coming soon. Who’s down for a guilt-free pastry run? #Food #SanAntonioEats #SupportLocal

Why We Still Need Mom-and-Pop Diners

Stumbled on this old-school diner in Hamilton and wow, it’s not just about the food (which is classic, nothing fancy). Places like Hyde’s are where the community actually hangs out—think post-game celebrations, family catch-ups, or just grabbing a bite when you need some company. Even the menu tells a story, with Appalachian roots still showing up in the soup beans. Seriously, these mom-and-pop spots are the heart of the neighborhood! #Food #SupportLocal #DinerLove

Music School’s Home Hunt Drama

Imagine pouring your heart into a music school for 13 years, only to be told you have to move—and then no one wants you because you’re ‘too noisy.’ That’s what’s happening to Connie Cooper and her Ballantyne School of Music. She’s scrambling to find a new spot for her students before the lease is up, and it’s way harder than she thought. Turns out, music schools all over Charlotte are struggling to find space. She’s not giving up, though—virtual lessons and a fundraiser are keeping the music alive! #Education #CharlotteMusic #SupportLocal

Why Your Peaches Might Cost More Soon

Ever wonder why your favorite fruit suddenly gets pricier? A wild hailstorm just wrecked a ton of crops in Colorado’s fruit basket, wiping out peaches, apples, and grapes—plus a bunch of produce meant for food banks. It’s not just a farmer problem: less fruit means higher prices at the store and fewer donations for families in need. With wild weather on the rise, supporting local farms and food banks is more important than ever. Next time you grab a peach, remember the storm behind the sticker! #FoodPrices #SupportLocal #ClimateImpact #Business #Industry

Cherry Crisis: Why Your Fruit Costs More

Talk about a rough season—Bulgarian cherry farmers just lost their entire crop to a freak spring freeze, then a locust invasion. That means no local cherries, higher prices at the store, and families struggling to make ends meet. This isn’t just a cherry problem; weird weather is messing with food everywhere. Pro tip: support local growers when you can, and maybe try growing a little something at home. Every bit helps! #FoodPrices #ClimateImpact #SupportLocal #Business #Industry
