What’s So Great About North Austin? Let’s Pfigure It Out.

Written by Cathy Hale | January 25, 2017

There’s big news about big retailers coming to the Austin area in 2017. More specifically, our neighbors to the north — Pflugerville and Cedar Park.

If you’ve listened to the rumblings, you may have heard that Costco was coming to the Lake Travis area.

The Hill Country has been dreaming about welcoming a luxury retailer like Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus or Neiman’s Last Call or Saks OFF 5th. Do they wanna try a Saks OFF 6th concept? We’re open to that.

And remember when we heard the sad and shocking news that our beloved Nutty Brown Cafe was relocating to — wait for it — Round Rock?

It seems like North Austin is the cool kid wearing Tractr skinny jeans and Lake Travis is the awkward adolescent wearing Hunt Club jorts. What gives?

What’s so great about our polar pals?

Aggressive Drivers on Lake Travis Roads: Just Stop It.

Written by Cathy Hale | January 12, 2017

Aggressive driving is bad news in Lake Travis.

On busy roadways like 620 and 71, it is also deadly.

Over the years, we’ve lost wonderful community members to auto accidents, so we know better. If everyone is aware of the real dangers that exist on our roads, why do we have so many reckless drivers?

And as a community, what can we do about it?

Yesterday I witnessed a truck get t-boned because a driver made an improper left turn across two lanes of oncoming traffic on 620. During 5 o’clock rush hour. The truck never saw it coming.
