A new full service Veterans Hospital could be coming to the RGV.
In honor of Veterans Day, Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz (TX-15) has introduced the "Sgt. Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Gonzalez Memorial Veterans’ Hospital Act."
The legislation would authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to construct a new Veterans hospital right here in the Rio Grande Valley.
If passed, the new facility would be named in honor of RGV hero and Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Gonzalez of Edinburg, who was posthumously awarded the nation's highest honor for his heroic actions in the Vietnam War.

Big news for RGV foodies! We can confirm that Layne's Chicken Fingers is officially planning its Rio Grande Valley debut.
A major franchisee, Ricki Oberoi, has signed a 12 UNIT deal, with the very first location planned to open in the RGV by mid-2026.
Oberoi, a veteran operator with nearly 50 Wendy's, noted he was impressed by the brand's quality and the fact that their chicken is halal. This is a huge, multi-store investment for the area!
As always, we will keep an eye on this and let you know as soon as a specific city or address is filed. Where in the RGV do you want to see the first one?
