Iconic La Pops to open new location this month in Abilene
Abilene's La Pops, the iconic yellow building on Arnold Blvd., is planned to open a new location, putting them back in the heart of the city, and just around the corner from an old location. "We're happy to be back in the middle of the city because we're kind of on the outskirts of Abilene," said La Pops owner Yolanda Salazar. "A lot of people still don't know that we're open or that we even exist, just because of where we're located. So it's kind of exciting that we're actually in the middle of the city." The new location is 1441 Barrow Street, where the old Papa Murphy's was, and will feature a drive-through window, which the current location lacks.

"We found this building, and it just all worked out for us to be able to sign the lease and get the deposit put down."

Perform in Buffalo Gap, Texas for “Neighborhoods”
After releasing a pair of EPs independently in 2023 and 2024, and a slew of singles last year, the now-19-year-old West Texas songwriter Solya is gearing up to drop her debut album this Friday, with Queen of Texas building upon those four songs released in 2025 with six more. Before the album drops, though, Solya filmed a “Neighborhoods” session in Buffalo Gap, Texas (outside of Abilene) where she performed acoustic solo versions of the pre-released album tracks “Movie Star” and “Tell Me It’s Over”—the latter of which, as she notes, chronicles the “liberation” she experienced after stepping away from “a toxic relationship.”
