In January 2024, an explosion tore through the hotel basement, injuring 21 people and blowing out windows and walls in the 20-story building at 810 Houston St. The hotel and its restaurant, Musume, where the explosion was believed to have taken place, had been open for less than a year before the incident. The explosion was believed to be caused by gas, but no official explanation has been given . For nearly three years the hotel has remained closed. But hotel general manager Kathleen McCarthy said she hopes the newly renovated Sandman Signature and Musume will be ready for guests by December. The Star-Telegram took part in a hard hat tour on Wednesday afternoon. Here’s what is newly repaired and restored at the 107-year-old building: What’s new and the same at the Sandman Signature?

Here, students spill from the universities, artists paint their stories on alley walls, and families gather beneath the shade of pecan trees.

Celina Star Cafe Owners Are Bringing A New Brunch Spot To Preston Road
A fter nearly a decade of serving breakfast and lunch at Celina Star Cafe , the family behind the longtime local diner is preparing something a little different. Brunch Factory, a new upscale breakfast and lunch concept, is planned for Celina West along Preston Road, near Costco.
