Bicycle Café now open

The long-awaited Bicycle Café at Northwest Highway and Lawther is now open. Open Tuesdays through Thursdays and Sundays, 6 a.m.–10 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays, 6 a.m.-midnight, this café offers healthy food, coffee and adult beverages (beer and wine). Plus, they provide locker rooms for cyclists. Of course, you don’t have to be a cyclist to enjoy this place.

Canal Clothing takes over Lakewood Lighting space

Canal Clothing, formerly the staple dress and accessory shop at Salons in the Park at Skillman and Northwest Highway, has moved to Hillside Village at Abrams and Mockingbird. The independently owned boutique is temporarily located next to Romano’s Bakery, but is remodeling a larger space just to the right of Stein Mart. Canal Clothing also holds complimentary fashion seminars in its store.

Evol Society, REUSE Jeans now open at The Shops at Park Lane

Love spelled backwards is evol. Thus hails the name of White Rock area resident Samuel Bistrian’s newest project, a boutique in The Shops at Park Lane. EvolSociety brings together artists, craftsmen and merchants with a wide variety of products but one overarching goal — to make the world a better place. Bistrian founded Roma Provisions, which provides a free pair of boots to poor children in Bistrian’s native Eastern Europe for every pair sold. Now, he has teamed up with other like-minded entrepreneurs such as Uga Beads, Love Nail Tree, Two Clay Hands and Project 7. The store also sells items by WORN, Pearl, Mishky and M Kenya Designs. Bistrian calls it “fashion on a mission.” Also new at The Shops at Park Lane is REUSE Jeans from Laguna Beach, Calif., which opened next to the Aveda Institute. The eco-friendly shop offers a line of 80 percent recycled denim for men and women, including jeans, jackets, vests, skirts and shorts. REUSE is an acronym for “Recycle. Environment. U. Save. Earth.” It has boutiques throughout the country, and this is only its second flagship store.

Taco Joint to open in former Sol’s space

Taco Joint will open soon in the former Sol’s spot at Mockingbird and Abrams. This will be the second location for the restaurant that serves up cheap and tasty tacos, plus migas, potatoes, burritos and such. Taco Joint will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus beer and margaritas, seven days a week. The restaurant offers ground beef tacos on flour tortillas with yellow cheese and salsa. The best meal at this Austin-centric place is breakfast — migas, fajita and egg tacos, and the “great gordo,” a giant breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs, potatoes and cheese.

Neighborhood parent Krista Curnutt organized fundraising to help pay for funeral expenses. She says she was overwhelmed by the amount of support the neighborhood offered the family. Not only did neighborhood donors cover the funeral expenses, Curnutt says, they also provided meals to the family, helped at the reception, drove students to the services and are still supporting them months later.

Tyrlonda and Andrew Sr. can smile a little these days. Tyrlonda recalls taking out a loan to give Andrew money for a homecoming date. She fussed at him, she says, when he spent the bulk of the money on his own outfit.

“He spent $35 on a hat,” she says. “Can you believe it?”

The mother and father laugh together about his relationship with his sister.

“Once when the kids were 6 and 7, Shurinda was swinging her little purse around, and she accidentally slung it into the tree,” Tyrlonda recalls.

“She started crying. Andrew tried ev-

“I can’t give up. They took his life and left him there to die. I need them to know what they took away from us.” erything to get it down — throwing rocks at it. Finally he climbed up in the tree and got it. She was so happy, she hugged him. That is just the best feeling.”

Sometimes, Andrew Sr. has to force Tyrlonda away from the computer, where she likes to sit and watch YouTube videos of Andrew Jr. dancing.

“Ain’t no getting around the stress of it, but sometimes I have to pull her away,” Andrew Sr. says.

Until the driver who ran over Andrew is found, some members of the Lake Highlands community will remain uneasy, Curnutt says.

“Students who knew Andrew still seem very confused about how someone could commit this crime and why no one has been caught and charged with his murder.”

The Greens say they won’t rest until Andrew’s killer is found.

“I can’t give up,” Tyrlonda says. “They took his life and left him there to die. I need them to know what they took away from us.”
