Johnson’s Ranch Presentation at the Cinnabar Theatre ‑‑ January 28th, 7:30 pm. BYOB. Through the focal point of the only documented aircraft crash at the ranch in 1932, the slide presentation will focus on the unique personal, cultural, and military aviation histories associated with a truly storied place, now but a remote marker and campsite on the River Road in the National Park. A forgotten photograph of a curious metal assembly found walking the area 17 years ago, leads to a search and rediscovery of the part, and the subsequent tying of it to the specific aircraft and crash. The story of the pilot, who later went on to be a German POW and a Brigadier General in the Air Force, helps illuminate a fascinating tale of survival, perseverance, innovation, and satisfaction in a pivotal era of the Lower Big Bend. A cool tale. BYOB with donations to Last Minute Low Budget Productions; Questions - Todd Bureau (432) 386-7846.

Big Bend Series by Jadene Mayla
Inspired by the awesome scale and rugged topography of Big Bend National Park, which was recognized by National Geographic as one of its “Best of the World” for 2023 among the 25 Most Extraordinary Places and Communities (see NatGeo.com/BestOfTheWorld) these manipulated giclee photographic prints express the way I see the park. My goal with this and others in the series is to suggest that the viewer look through different eyes to see the natural landscape from the perspective of a natural mystic (like me).
The medium and style choice came out of the way that manipulating photography often highlights or brings to the surface atmospheric details and shadows that otherwise tend to take a back seat to the main subjects. In my direct experience of phenomenological events I would describe as 'mystical' if not 'paranormal,’ I often perceive the life of a place in the atmosphere created by that force which animates it.
Espresso ... Y poco mas – The best home cooking and coffee in town. Our breakfast and lunch menu are all cooked to order from the freshest ingredients. You'll find comfortable seating with great views of the Chisos, strong wifi and friendly service. Call 432-371-3044 for to go orders.
Taqueria El Milagro – Authentic Mexican recipe menu items and super sides. Street tacos just like you like 'em! Open Wednesday through Sunday - 3 pm until 9 pm. Call 432 371-2060 for take-out via our drive-through window. Fun seating for dining in and BYOB!

Corba's Last Chorus ‑‑ All Friends, Family and Fans of Corba Jones are invited to "Corba's Last Chorus - A Celebration of a Life Lived Loudly.” Our family greatly appreciates your prayers, patience and the love you had for the “Lil' General.” We are trying to make plans at the speed at which Dad/Gregg is comfortable, while also giving us to focus on his care and affairs, as well as allowing ourselves to start the grieving process from this life-changing loss.
We also acknowledge how this has affected so many of you. Our family also extends our condolences for the loss you have also endured. It is an emotional time for all.
After getting to spend time with all her children together, Corbie was ready to be pain-free and with the Lord. Corbie will be greatly missed. Rest assuredly, she went to heaven knowing she was loved by you all and had left one helluva legacy . . . thousands of memories and repeat-worthy stories of a loud woman who lived loudly and loved the loudest.
Whereas we do not yet know all the details of the celebration event, we do know this . . . It will be filled with love, laughter and loud music.
