SAN ANGELO, Texas — The City of San Angelo, the San Angelo National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the San Angelo Area Foundation are hosting a ribbon-cutting for the grand opening of the new public restrooms at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park, 2121 Martin Luther King Blvd.
The event is planned for 1:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 2, at the park pavilion.
