Your inner foodie will thank you.

Have you ever wondered what “in season” actually means when it comes to fruits and vegetables? Well, in-season foods are more likely to be at their nutritional peak, chock full of the good stuff your body needs for optimum health.

Based on where you live and the current time of the year, certain foods are traditionally harvested and more readily available nearby. Some people believe that in-season foods are exactly what your body needs at that time of the year.

Written by Todd Hower | July 17, 2015

It’s officially HOT!

The Texas summer arrived this week and now it’s a good time to find your places to escape the heat. We had a nice break while it lasted, but it’s looking like the Lake Travis area is going to be in a high pressure hot-zone for a while.

Maybe that is why everybody decided to get out of town.

The Fourth of July weekend is the start of summer travel for many and that sure seems to be true. You may have noticed that your Facebook feed is filled with friends and family taking pictures of summer vacations from all over the globe — from the Texas beaches to Italy!

5 Reasons to Retire on Lake Travis

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 16, 2015

It’s no secret that the Lake Travis area is exploding with growth lately.

We have the future development of The Oaks at Lakeway, promising some of the finest in entertainment, shopping, and dining all in one place. North on 620 and all along Highway 71, many neighborhoods are still growing and developing, along with businesses to serve Lake Travis area residents.

With more and more people moving to Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country, it’s tempting to get a taste of what everyone is drinking when they visit the glittering shores of the highland lake.

And it’s not just families making their way out here; just as many people are choosing to retire on Lake Travis and make it their permanent abode on the water. We get to see and enjoy some of the best living around, so we have a pretty good idea of why people would want to get here as fast as they can.

Written by Todd Hower | July 10, 2015

Too bad every weekend can’t be a 3-day weekend.

Spend all day on the lake.

Watch the sun go down.

And when it gets dark, the night sky above you is filled with spectacular fireworks.

It’s going to be hard to beat the 4th of July weekend we just experienced … but it’s a new weekend! And it’s hard to find reasons to complain about the amazing summer we are having. Let’s hope those triple digits don’t show up anytime soon (and let’s hope I didn’t jinx it by saying that).

Get out there and enjoy the lake, the live music, the hill country — and this beautiful place we call home.

Here is your Lake Travis area weekend roundup filled with places to go and people to see. As always, thank you for supporting our local businesses, events and live music scene — Live Local!
