Weโ€™ve received a lot of questions about the new medical facility on Pecan & McColl. โ€œWasnโ€™t it supposed to be MD Anderson?โ€ ๐Ÿค”

Here is the full breakdown of what just opened in our backyard.

This is the UT Health RGV Cancer and Surgery Center a massive $151 million investment owned and operated by UTRGV.

UTRGV officially engaged MD Anderson Cancer Center to provide "advisory services". That means the worldโ€™s #1 cancer experts helped design the clinical operations and recruit the doctors.

The doors are open now! The facility has already begun a soft launch for select services. However, it will continue rolling out new departments over the next few months and is scheduled to be fully operational by Q1 2026.

๐Ÿ“ Address: 1400 N. Commerce Center St., McAllen (Between Jackson & McColl)

The Monitor has found its new home. We have confirmed that the newspaper's new office will be located at the Trenton Crossing Shopping Center (7600 N 10th St) in McAllen.

The move comes after the paper sold its large Nolana headquarters to UTRGV earlier this year. The new location, which is undergoing a finish out, solidifies the paper's shift to a digital first, streamlined operation.

A few hours ago, the selection committee met and unfortunately, despite a historic 9-3 inaugural season, the Vaqueros were not selected for the 2025 FCS Playoffs.

This result does not diminish the incredible success of the first year of the program! The UTRGV Vaqueros finished with a phenomenal 9-3 overall record and set the standard with a perfect 6-0 home season!

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 โ€˜Freddyโ€™ Gonzalez Memorial Veteransโ€™ 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 โ€˜Freddyโ€™ Gonzalez of Edinburg, who was posthumously awarded the nation's highest honor for his heroic actions in the Vietnam War.

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!

Heads up RGV travelers โœˆ๏ธ
The FAA has announced flight capacity reductions in 40 markets, including major hubs like Dallas (DFW/DAL) and Houston (IAH/HOU), starting today, November 7, due to the federal government shutdown. While both the Brownsville (BRO) and Harlingen (VIA) airports report that they are fully staffed and under normal operations, these national reductions will likely impact connecting flights. All passengers are strongly advised to contact their airline directly or continuously monitor their airline's website or app for the most up to date and accurate information regarding their flight status.

Last night, voters across the RGV sent a clear message by rejecting major school bond packages in Brownsville, PSJA, and Rio Grande City.

This is a major shift from what used to be a "clear win" for school districts. For decades, school bonds in Texas had a 70-80% pass rate. They were seen as a routine, necessary investment in growing communities.

The era of school bonds being a "sure thing" is over. Last night's RGV results are the latest and clearest sign of this new reality.

What do you think is the biggest reason for this shift?
