WHEREAS, Jaime Macias, the owner of Jaime's Place in
San Antonio, has distinguished himself as an outstanding example of
the entrepreneurial spirit of the Lone Star State; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Macias opened his bar and restaurant in October
2020 after converting a two-story home in San Antonio's historic
West Side; since its establishment, Jaime's Place has benefited
from the support of Mr. Macias's wife, Dorothy, and his four
children, Jaime Patricio, Gabriela, Aracely, and Jacob; Patricio
and Gabriela have served as the bar's general manager and social
media director, respectively, while Aracely set up the bar's
digital infrastructure; in addition, Jacob has helped out as
needed; and
WHEREAS, Thriving despite the challenges posed by the
COVID-19 pandemic, Jaime's Place garnered widespread attention
after putting up a sign that read, "Unbow your heads, 78207," a call
to celebrate the West Side neighborhood and its rich Mexican
American heritage; the establishment went on to appear in a 2021
Time
article and in a Food Network web series called
The Día de
los
Muertos Menu
; today, the bar remains a local favorite where family
and friends gather to enjoy a drink and dance to live music; and
WHEREAS, Through his creativity, resilience, and hard work,
Jaime Macias has earned his business the status of a treasured
community institution, and he may indeed reflect with pride on his
achievements; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize Jaime Macias for his contributions to
the San Antonio community as the owner of Jaime's Place and extend
to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Macias as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
