  • Resumen

  • Good morning, Austin! This is Morgan Riley, and you're tuned in to keep up with the "Word on the streets of Austin." Let’s dive into today’s top local stories and happenings.

    Our lead story today spotlights an important accolade for our city. Austin has been named a finalist for the 2025 All-America City Award thanks to its commitment to environmental sustainability and inclusive community engagement. This recognition highlights our city’s collaborative efforts toward greener initiatives and creating spaces for all Austinites to thrive.

    In other local news, the Capitol 10K drew thousands of runners downtown this past weekend. Known as the largest 10K in Texas, it wasn’t just about the race but a celebration of community spirit with local music, food, and family-friendly events at the Finish Line Festival. Whether you were a runner or a cheering spectator, the event exemplified that quintessential Austin energy.

    On a more personal note, I had the chance to meet Valerie Sanchez, a young entrepreneur who’s been making waves with her sustainable coffee pop-up, Café Verde. Valerie works closely with local farms to source environmentally-friendly coffee beans and composts all waste generated at her pop-up. You can find her at the Pedernales Farmers Market every Sunday. Folks like Valerie remind us of the innovative and community-centered spirit that makes Austin so special.

    Now, let’s talk about what’s on the horizon. The Moontower Comedy Festival kicks off today and runs through April 19th, bringing top comedians and local talent to stages across the city. It’s an opportunity for a good laugh and a great way to support Austin’s vibrant arts scene. For film buffs, the Indie Meme Film Festival starts today and showcases South Asian and Iranian cinema through screenings and filmmaker Q&A sessions. On a different note, tonight’s Tuesday Twilight event at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center offers a more tranquil vibe, with live music, featured artists, and, of course, Austin’s spring blooms.

    Looking ahead to weather, we’re enjoying a sunny morning with highs around 75 today. Expect some clouds rolling in by the evening, but the week looks clear and pleasant—perfect for outdoor activities and community events.

    As we close, let’s take a moment to celebrate Austin’s resilience and unique energy. Whether it’s a major accolade, a race bringing people together, or a local entrepreneur like Valerie keeping things green, our city is a testament to innovation and inclusivity.
