The mist and rain has canceled the procession down Congress Avenue, but the 11am ceremony unveiling a plaque renaming the Congress Avenue bridge for Gov. Ann Richards is still on, says the city.
Good for them. Chronic has more on the renaming here and here.
Update: Nope, the ceremony's canceled, too. Our apologies.
