‘Driver-Shaming’ on Lake Travis Highways: Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right

Written by Cathy Hale | April 12, 2017

Cut off by an aggressive driver with a horn and plenty of attitude on 620?

Did a fancy-schmancy Escalade angrily pass you on the left only to get stopped right ahead of you at a red light. (What is that? Come on, people.)

As you shout obscenities that drown out Prime Country on your Sirius radio, you want one thing. Immediate revenge. We get it. Bad drivers are infuriating. So you grab your phone and take a pic …

Wait — NO! That’s totally wrong. It’s incredibly dangerous. It’s also breaking the law.

If this driver-shaming trend continues it means for every one bad driver, we get two? No, thank you.

#ThrowbackThursday in Lake Travis: Remember Four Years Ago When …

Written by Cathy Hale | April 6, 2017

Once in a while it’s fun to take a look back instead of jumping ahead. Forget the latest commercial real estate rumors and ignore your inner dialogue as you drive by a construction site on FM 620 and muse, “I bet that’s gonna be a bank or a mattress store …”

Do you remember when the news of Oaks at Lakeway first started snagging headlines?

It was June 2013. That’s when we discovered a custom-designed 90k square foot H-E-B was headed our way. We knew it would be big and fab-u-lous, which it is. The only thing we’re wondering is where is our nifty golden sailboat sculpture from the rendering above? I mean, who doesn’t appreciate a flaxen nautical monument?

If you’ve been living in Lake Travis for a long time, you’ll probably remember the hot topics of the day in 2013. If not, enjoy reliving some of LT’s big moments.

Lake Travis’ Infamous Brewing Company Celebrates 4 Years of Brewing the American Dream

Written by Kim Wade | April 5, 2017

With more than 10 of their very own specialty craft beers to choose from, the release of Infamous+Sam Adams Oyster Stout, and a recent brewing agreement with Solid Rock Brewery gives Infamous Brewing Company a myriad of reasons to celebrate.

At Lake Travis Lifestyle, we’re all about supporting local beer. That’s why we’ve followed Infamous Brewing Company during their journey in the Texas Hill Country.

In 2013, we welcomed the new brewery to the Lake Travis area with outreached frosted glasses.

In 2014, we announced the exciting news about their tap room addition and then we showed you what a typical Saturday looks like during tap room hours.

It just makes sense to celebrate their 4-year anniversary. What a milestone!
