The Crayola Experience at the Shops at Willow Bend is temporarily closed, according to a sign on the door.

The details: The sign on the door states that mall redeveloper Centennial has changed the locks on the site Feb. 7 due to "delinquent rent.” Crayola’s phone number is disconnected, and the website states the facility is temporarily closed.

One more thing: The mall’s ongoing redevelopment plan is aiming to transform the mall into a mixed-use development, featuring retail, office, residential and parks. Willow Bend’s initial redevelopment plan with Centennial was reworked due to the closure of Macy’s within the mall. A representative with The Shops at Willow Bend said in a statement there are no updates on the mall’s redevelopment.

In the upcoming March 3 primary elections, Texas voters will have the opportunity to nominate their chosen candidates for the November midterm election. From top state officials to county commissioners, primary elections shape who is ultimately elected to dozens of seats, driving the future direction of the Lone Star State.

Yet less than one-fifth of registered Texas voters participated in recent primary elections, data from the secretary of state’s office shows.

The big picture: March Matters, a group that works to get more Texans to the primary polls, found that 146 of Texas’ 150 state House races were effectively decided during the 2022 primaries, with just four competitive seats during that year’s midterm election.

Data also shows that primary voters tend to be older and represent the more extreme wings of their political parties.

What they're saying: "When primary voter turnout is so small, when only a fraction of voters are voting, your vote counts more,” said Mark Strama, who leads the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life at the University of Texas.
