Hello, neighbors! It's me again, Gabriela Couvillion, your host of the Austin Daily. First, today's weather: Partly sunny and warmer. High: 93 Low: 68. Here are the top stories today in Austin: This Sunday, April 17, is Easter Sunday and while Easter activities started on Friday, there is still lots of fun going on Saturday and Sunday! From egg hunts to egg colorings and photos with the Easter bunny, there are lots of events for all to enjoy! Take the family to celebrate and have a Happy Easter! (kvue.com) Reddit user SavageManZhou created "the Austin city skyline and landmarks entirely in Minecraft" and "recently shared images" of the "stunning recreation" that he started in 2020 and has been updating ever since. He said, "When I first started, I didn't intend to build the whole downtown skyline, [I] initially was only planning to finish the Texas capitol." He added, "It turned out well, so I added more buildings and garages around it along with the governor's mansion."
