& NOTES

New Play Space

Some of the neighborhood’s most influential community groups are working together to build a new playground (opposite page), which will be accessible to all children, regardless of any physical, mental or sensory disabilities. Funds are being collected from a wide range of sources, but you can help make the plan a reality by taking part in Run the Highlands, set for April 28. Join the race at lhjwl.org/run-the-highlands-race-info.

Funny Book

If you haven’t passed by El Arroyo Restaurant in Austin, you’ve likely seen its hilarious signs. Filled with messages like: “Treat your mom to a margarita, you’re probably the reason she drinks” and “Willy Wonka was the original Hunger Games,” it’s easy to see why it’s become a viral sensation, written up on Shareably and Bored Panda. The owner, Lake Highlands High grad Ellis Winstanley, capitalized on the fame by publishing “El Arroyo’s Big Book of Signs,” available for $24.99 at elarroyo.com/store.
