🎥 To Watch: Haskell House Doc
I can’t wait to watch this! The city’s Parks and Recreation Department released a 25-minute documentary on the Haskell House and the history of Clarksville. The house was built by Peter Tucker, a formerly enslaved man, and his wife, Betty, in 1875 and still stands in Clarksville, one of the first freedom colonies in Texas. [City of Austin]
🚍 Some CapMetro Buses Going in Storage
Admitting their electrification goal was too ambitious, CapMetro is putting 46 electric buses in storage for at least a year. The shelving of the buses also comes after supplier Proterra declared bankruptcy. [KUT]
🤘 Wait, They Did What to Bevo?
This look back at the rivalry between the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University, set to be revived next week, through the Austin American-Statesman’s archives is wiiiiild. Did you know Bevo went to his first game in 1916 and then was eaten in 1920? Help, I’m scared! [Austin American-Statesman]
