Austin will observe the first anniversary of the Austin bombings at a memorial ceremony today. The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. at City Hall, and speakers will include Mayor Steve Adler, City Manager Spencer Cronk, Police Chief Brian Manley and Pete Winstead, president of the Greater Austin Crime Commission.
