Eight cases have now been confirmed in Texas as officials expand surveillance efforts, release millions of sterile flies and mobilize resources to stop the flesh-eating parasite from spreading.
The upcoming premiere of Paul Simon's concert film on Disney+ and Hulu may resonate with music lovers in The Woodlands, who have been fortunate to enjoy live performances by renowned artists at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. This outdoor amphitheater has a long history of hosting iconic acts, and its setting amidst the trees of The Woodlands has made it a beloved venue for both residents and visitors. As fans in the area mark their calendars for the film's release, they may also be looking forward to the pavilion's own summer concert series, which often features a mix of classic and contemporary artists. The pavilion's schedule may include performances that, like Simon's tour, showcase the enduring power of music to bring people together and transcend challenges.
