DTX-PCL: Impact 11/10/2025

When Heyday co-owner Michael McGowan contemplated what to name the new restaurant he and restaurateur Anthony Morel were opening in Celina, he found the answer while pursuing a thesaurus.

“I came across ‘heyday’ and said it out loud. I said, ‘That could be a bar, a brunch spot or a restaurant.’ We didn't want [the name] to ... limit what we could be,” McGowan said. “And, at the time, Celina was really experiencing a boom. ‘Heyday’ became symbolic of us trying to help bring Celina into its heyday.”

What makes them different: McGowan said they are very proactive about not being wasteful. He points to their use of post-juiced jalapenos used in their cucumber and jalapeno margarita.

“We juice the jalapeno, and then you're left with the meat, the actual vegetable,” McGowan said. “We don't want to just throw it away. We reduce it down and turn it into a sauce where we toss elote which ends up on the taco.”

More than 20 months after wildfires swept through the Texas Panhandle in early 2024, burning over 1.2 million acres of land, state lawmakers questioned if Texas has the tools needed to tackle another major fire.

The context: Texas is always a fire-prone state, according to the Western Fire Chiefs Association. The association’s website reports that annual wildfire risk is most severe from February-April, when dry grasses and high winds can cause fires to spread, and August-October, when high temperatures and droughts contribute to fires.

“Our purpose today is to figure out—what is our response going to look like next February and March?” Rep. Ken King, a Republican representing Canadian and other Panhandle communities, said during a Nov. 3 committee hearing. “Are we better prepared … or are we in the same position we were in 2024, when our response was lacking?”

The details: Officials said Texas owns just two firefighting aircraft, with others "essentially [subleased] through the federal government."

During peak wildfire season, this means Texas may have access to limited resources.
