This week, lots of Current readers were drawn to a story about the return of a popular H-E-B product: a throw blanket in the style of the grocery chain’s tortillas.

Also racking up plenty of online views were articles about funky Alta Vista corner store Oscar de la Tienda closing its doors and the outcry that arose after Yelp snubbed San Antonio in its ranking of “taco cities.”
C’mon, Yelp. That’s just uncool.
