February is here and so is this weekend!
Let’s get this Super Bowl LI party started with a look at your weekend ahead and — in case you missed us — a look back at what went on this past week.
Good news if you like to see things start greening up around here. Bob the armadillo did not see his shadow at the West Pole, so spring is right around the corner!
It’s your last week to find those sunglasses you lost and see Lake Austin without water before the LCRA starts filling it back up on Thursday, February 9th.
New places are getting ready to open this spring in the Oaks at Lakeway, and it looks like a burger joint will be up next. On Wednesday, we posted a sneak peak of the brand new Austin-born, barnhouse-themed Hat Creek Burger Co.
Start your weekend with a goodbye to Orka. And then get ready to watch some really expensive commercials with some football in between. Have a lovely weekend, all!
