East Austin historic neighborhood redevelopment pushes completion to 2024 | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: The redevelopment of Rosewood Courts in East Austin, a historic public housing complex for African Americans, is well underway, with heavy equipment transforming the site into the new Pathways at Rosewood Courts. Initially expected to complete by fall 2024, supply chain and labor issues have delayed the project to mid-2025 for the first building, and the complete site by late 2025. The multi-million dollar project by the Austin Housing Authority will offer 184 new apartment units and 12 affordable townhomes. Despite initial skepticism, the redevelopment aims to honor the community's past while providing modern housing and new opportunities for residents.
The redevelopment of a historic neighborhood in east Austin is taking longer than expected. FOX 7 Austin's Rudy Koski spoke with the Austin Housing Authority about the delay.

Rhode Island man suffers serious complications after botched veneer procedure in Houston
SUMMARY: Back in March, Shiron Robinson underwent a veneer procedure at Forever Veneers, an unlicensed Houston clinic, which cost him $8,700. Misled by their Instagram page boasting 54,000 followers and seemingly satisfied clients, Robinson flew from Rhode Island for the procedure. Post-treatment, he experienced severe issues including trouble chewing, open pockets in his gums, and a veneer coming off. It was revealed that Jaden Moror, who performed the procedure, lacked a dentistry license and now faces felony charges. Robinson continues to face significant dental problems and financial strain, seeking further dental care while cautioning others against misleading social media advertisements.
