Lago Vista Physical Therapy: Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Written by |

Lago Vista Physical Therapy BuildingWalk in to Lago Vista Physical Therapy and you’re likely to catch the tail end of a lively exchange between patients.

From a stationary bicycle, one gentleman notes how crazy expensive it is to replace a bumper these days.

Exercising on a set of steps, another patient says he knows a guy — the best guy — who does body work for less. A series of beep sounds, and it’s time for the first patient to move on to his next drill.

Auto Repair & Service in the Lake Travis Area

Written by |

Va-room! Va-room! Va-zonk?! Car trouble.

Most days in your week are filled with places to go and people to see. And those places to go and people to see usually involve the use of an automobile.

It would be nice to have a vehicle that never breaks down, it’s just not realistic. Your vehicle has a lot of moving parts and things that simply wear out and break. So having a mechanic you can trust is invaluable.

If you haven’t found that reliable and honest LT area auto shop, no worries. We have scouted out some of the top places for auto repair and service in the Lake Travis area. If you do have a favorite Lake Travis area auto shop that we didn’t mention, please share that with the LTL community in the comments below or on the Lake Travis Lifestyle Facebook Page.

Gift Like A Boss: How Free Tastings Mean Happier Holidays

Written by |

Twin Liquors tastings

Most of us will happily drink just about anything — sure, we lust the good stuff but let’s get real here — a sixer of Lone Star gets the job done on the cheap, and fits nicely in that garage fridge.

We all know that there’s a time when pulling out the craft brews, higher priced wines, and guest whiskey is key. And there’s hardly any better occasion for the good stuff than the holidays.

The most fool-proof way to give the very best in spirits this year (and secure VIP status at that Christmas party), is to really know what it is you’re gifting in that fancy little wine bag with the tinsel on top.

Hill Country Galleria Improvements Coming in 2016: H&M and Centralized Dining

Written by |

Can you name five stores in the Hill Country Galleria?

According to a recent survey, many of you that live in the Lake Travis area don’t know — or didn’t know — the retailers located in your own backyard.

In fact, when you were asked for a list of ten retailers you’d like to see in the Hill Country Galleria, three of the ten you named were already there.

You may have seen the article in Community Impact that highlighted some of the shopping habits of Lake Travis area residents. According to research conducted by the owners of Hill Country Galleria, consumers within a 30-minute drive of Bee Cave spent $222 million on food and beverage outside the area in 2014. That means you were probably shopping at Barton Creek Mall, Neiman Marcus Last Call and dining downtown.

But what you might not know is this translates to a revenue loss of more than $3 million to the city of Bee Cave.

Hmmm. So we spend money, but we don’t spend it here. Or at least we didn’t in 2014.

Will a $16m investment to improve the Hill Country Galleria change our spending habits?
