LTL Weekly & This Weekend in Lake Travis: November 22-24, 2019

Written by Todd Hower | November 21, 2019

When 100 people per day move here …

Austin’s housing market broke a record in October for the number of homes sold. And the number of homes sold last month in the Lake Travis-Westlake area is higher than that of any other October on record.

When you want fewer residences …

The Square on Lohmans development in Lakeway — a 60-acre swath of land that has been in a holding pattern for more than two years — received the thumbs up to move forward. The very first proposal would have brought 1000 residences to the land. The new plan caps the number of residences at 130.

When you go for the gold …

The Vandegrift High School band won first place at the Bands of America Grand National Championship in Indiana on Saturday with the top score of 97.175. The Vandegrift Band placed first in prelims and won best music, best visual and best general effect captions.

When you’re at home with Baker Mayfield …

In under two seasons as a professional quarterback, Baker Mayfield’s estimated net worth is around $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Considering the lucrative endorsement deals, it’s likely that the former Lake Travis quarterback will have a net worth closer to 20 or 30 million dollars near the end of 2019.

When you have grease from your feast …

It takes three to six gallons of cooking oil to fry a typical turkey. And after Thanksgiving is when large amounts of grease end up in the public sewer system. If you want to avoid an emergency call to a plumber this Thanksgiving, don’t pour your used turkey grease down the drain. Recycling Thanksgiving oil and grease is the cheap alternative. Here’s why turkey grease shouldn’t go down the drain.

When you fall in love with wild turkey …

Not the whiskey, actual turkeys.

When you’re oozing with holiday cheer …

Make sure you add these Lake Travis area holiday events to your calendar.

When you like tryptophan …

Scroll down to the “Save The Date” section to see what’s shaking on Thanksgiving Day in and around the Lake Travis area. Gobble, gobble.
