- Description
- The Big Apple. The Windy City. The City of Angels. A city’s nickname often reflects its history, identity, and place in the national conversation.
Deep in South Texas, there’s the Gateway City. For Laredo, that title stems from a simple reality: location, location, location.
Situated along one of the country’s busiest trade corridors, Laredo has grown into the country’s busiest inland port, and at times, the busiest port overall. Now, city leaders are proposing a new plan to gradually increase bridge tolls at Laredo’s international bridges, a move they say will continue to fund improvements, infrastructure projects, and continue to strengthen economic growth.
But, as with any major project, the proposal has sparked questions, concerns, and suggestions from all types of stakeholders.

In Laredo, what happens here doesn’t stay here. Because when it comes to trade, that’s the goal.
Our panel examines concerns over the city's proposed bridge toll plan, the growing debate over spending priorities, and whether Laredo is risking a golden-goose opportunity in global trade by wasteful spending and a growing bureaucracy.

- A Laredo gastroenterologist explains why doctors are seeing more colon cancer in younger adults — and what you should know right now.
Did you know? Medical experts now recommend most adults begin colon cancer screening at age 45, earlier than in the past — largely because more younger adults are being diagnosed.
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and doctors across the country are raising concerns about a troubling trend: colon cancer is increasingly being diagnosed in younger adults.
For years, many people associated the disease with those over 50. But that perception is changing.
When actor Chadwick Boseman died at just 43 and James Van Der Beek at 48, both after battling colon cancer, it shocked many and sparked a national conversation about the risks younger adults may face.
So what’s behind the rise? And more importantly — what symptoms should you never ignore?
