Live Local by Shopping Local in Lake Travis for the Holidays

Written by Mandy Spivey | November 25, 2015

It can start right after you clean the Thanksgiving dishes. Christmas shopping!

The stores try to suck you into the shopping frenzy with deals on Black Friday. From now until Christmas you’ll be bombarded with advertising to remind you how many days you have left to shop.

And it’s easy to sit in the comfort of your home and go shopping. You can find almost everything you need and have it delivered to your door. A membership to Amazon Prime will have selected items delivered to you in a day!

But what if you’re looking from something more unique? Something that you can’t find online. And a gift that supports Live Local in Lake Travis.

Written by Mandy Spivey | November 4, 2015

You don’t have to travel very far around Central Texas before you find the many historic buildings tied to Texas-born President Lyndon Baines Johnson.

As the 36th leader of the United States, he made huge strides in transforming a nation in the way of education, civil rights and poverty, leaving behind a brightly glowing legacy and park that serves in his memory.

The Texas Hill Country is still home to LBJ and his early family, starting in Stonewall just on the edge of Johnson City. Here is where you’ll find Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site, the birthplace and early living space for the future Senator and President.
