A rusted BF Goodrich sign, the front-end of a ’56 Ford Fairlane and an old-fashioned Texaco gas pump. To anyone who hasn’t eaten at Jake’s Texas Tea House on Sixth St. and Austin Ave., you would think the downtown restaurant is a stand-in for a mid-century filling station.

Austin Avenue is known to many Baylor students as home to various art galleries, cafés, and restaurants. Hidden among all the shops lies The Legacy Café and Art Gallery.
The Legacy Café and Art Gallery is owned by Waco local James LaFayette.
“Basically we call it a kind of own home feeling,” LaFayette said.

Four weeks after the shooting at a midnight screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” in Colorado, 17 percent of moviegoers are still reluctant to head to theaters.
That’s the finding of the most recent survey by consulting firm Screen Engine, which has been polling Americans each week since the shooting.
While the figure has declined slightly from 21 percent in the first week after the shooting, the still-significant number demonstrates that the after-effects of the movie theater massacre, in which 12 people died and 59 were injured, are still being felt.

here was bloodshed on the battlefields of the Civil War and there was bloodshed on the homefront of two families: the Hatfields and the McCoys.
The epic feud, which began in 1865 and was filled with murder, theft, and deceit, not only made for an Emmy nominated miniseries, but it’s also historically true.
Baylor alumnus Kevin Reynolds directed the Hatfields & the McCoys miniseries, which aired May 28-30. He graduated from Baylor with a law degree in 1976.
In 1978, Reynolds decided to attend the University of Southern California after practicing law in Austin for two years.
