Mehr Your Waco Weekend

Your Waco Weekend isn’t about FOMO. It’s a weekly field report from a small American city in motion, where old storefronts become condos, urban master plans promise relevance, and the past never quite leaves the room. Part cultural dispatch, part civic analysis, each episode examines how places change and what holds them together. Because what happens in Waco, Texas, is happening everywhere.

Episode Ellen Mote's Contour Lines Cover

Ellen Mote's Contour Lines

Waco artist Ellen Mote [https://ellenmoteart.com/] has spent years moving between creative disciplines without settling permanently into any one identity. In this episode, she talks about jewelry design, cyanotypes, painting, and basket weaving. Along the way, the conversation turns into something larger about attention and creative reinvention. This episode also explores a side of Waco’s creative culture that rarely fits into tourism slogans or polished branding campaigns. From the Austin Avenue Art Walk [https://www.austinavenueartfair.com/] to ad hoc galleries in coffee shops and vintage stores, it’s a look at the kinds of environments where unfinished ideas still have room to evolve. Sometimes the most important thing a city can offer artists is enough breathing room to keep exploring. ----- Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wacoinsider.stubstack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://wacoinsider.substack.com/] to sign up for our weekly newsletter.

Episode Sherman Ayres Steps into the Light Cover

Sherman Ayres Steps into the Light

At 72 years old, Sherman Ayres stepped onto the Texas Music Cafe stage [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?app=desktop&list=PLVs1plZIhe_fDYbL6CETtVCowlvgKc_TL] last July to record a live album [https://open.spotify.com/album/0cgiYwJF9r7K9XEdUjHMar?si=ThPctoB5TR24gnVVfhjcWA] built from songs he’d been carrying around for decades. From sitting behind a drum kit in Ohio when he was five to recording sessions in Memphis in the ‘80s and a corporate career at M&M Mars, he discovered an unexpected second act in Waco. But this episode isn’t really a late-life comeback story. It’s about what happens when creative work survives long enough to finally find the right room, the right people, and the right moment to be heard. ----- Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wacoinsider.stubstack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://wacoinsider.substack.com/] to sign up for our weekly newsletter.

Episode Cameron Park, Disc Golf & The Cat with No Name Cover

Cameron Park, Disc Golf & The Cat with No Name

This episode heads into Waco’s Cameron Park, where scenic overlooks and weekend disc golfers usually define the place people think they know. But public spaces also collect what others leave behind, and sometimes a routine morning turns into something harder to resolve. A chance encounter with a stray cat on the edge of a creek forces a choice that is less sentimental than practical: keep walking or take responsibility. What starts as an interruption becomes a fourteen-year reminder that obligation often arrives looking like inconvenience. ----- Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wacoinsider.stubstack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://wacoinsider.substack.com/] to sign up for our weekly newsletter.

Episode Lust, Violence, Religion: Life in Historic Waco Cover

Lust, Violence, Religion: Life in Historic Waco

Baylor’s homecoming parade knows how to sell the polished history of Waco: plenty of green and gold, marching bands, old stories told like family recipes. But somewhere between the parade route and the parking lot at George’s Restaurant, that cleaner version of the city runs into the one with blood on its shirt. This week’s episode starts with a parade float promoting a local history book called Lust, Violence, Religion [https://www.amazon.com/Lust-Violence-Religion-Life-Historic/dp/1934302694], and ends with a stranger in a dark parking lot demanding to know why anyone would bother remembering the ugly parts. ----- Hit subscribe so you don’t miss the next episode of Your Waco Weekend—and visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wacoinsider.stubstack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://wacoinsider.substack.com/] to sign up for our weekly newsletter.
