Here's Why the Killeen, Veterans Day Parade Has Been Cancelled

For the last couple of days, I’ve been trying to make sure that Killeen, Texas is well aware of how the weather change is going to be extremely drastic starting Friday. I hate that the weather is going to be severe tomorrow, especially since it is Veterans Day.

WHY IS THE VETERANS PARADE CANCELLED?

Every year we look forward to seeing the Veterans Day parade and paying homage to all of the veterans in Killeen and around the world. Earlier today, the City of Killeen sent out a message stating that this year's parade will be canceled due to the threat of severe weather conditions.

As of right now, it doesn't look like the city is going to reschedule it, but I will make sure to keep all of Central Texas notified if we hear more about what's going on. After all, Killeen is a military town, and we're particularly proud of that.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY KILLEEN

Veterans Day celebrates the service of all US military veterans, and it’s a day set aside to thank and honor their service and the many things they've sacrificed to serve and protect our nation. There have been so many sacrifices made for this great nation by our brave veterans and from everyone here at Townsquare Media, I would like to say thank you happy Veterans Day. Stay warm out there, and be safe!

Top 20 Restaurants Central Texans Wish Would Come to Temple

A while back, I asked the good people of Temple if they could picture a good restaurant to fill the lot on North General Bruce Drive where the soon to be torn down Long John Silver's stood.

This was before it was announced that a Dutch Bros. Coffee location would open there (which was one of the places I predicted as a contender in our article).

So now Dutch Bros. is open in that spot, but the responses to my survey were interesting because they paint a picture of just how diverse Temple's population is. People recommended some familiar restaurants with locations in the surrounding area, but also a few I'd never even heard of.

Here are the top 20 results of the survey. Let's see what the good people of Temple are craving!
