Galveston's oldest gay bar may close unless it can raise an additional $5,000, affecting local residents and businesses. Robert’s Lafitte, the oldest LGBTQ+ bar in Texas and a longtime fixture in Galveston, could close within weeks unless it raises thousands of dollars for required repairs. Community members say the potential loss would deeply impact a vital safe space.

Moody Gardens launched its new “Dinos Alive” exhibit on April 25, offering an immersive, interactive dinosaur experience for visitors of all ages.
