Town & Country Leather and Chase Flooring Celebrate a New Showroom in Bee Cave

Written by Mandy Spivey | November 22, 2013

Texas loves leather. The ruggedness. The versatility. The feel of well-conditioned cowhide. I have been drawn to leather all of my life, and even study leather crafting a bit on the side to supplement my love for all things tanned and western. So when I found out that Town & Country Leather was opening their third and newest showroom in the Lake Travis area, I had to check it out.

Out off Highway 71 in Bee Cave near the Galleria sits an historic building that you might remember used to house Estancia home furnishings. Oh, but did you also know that it was the ol’ honky-tonk Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys used to entertain area farmers and ranchers in years past?

Indoor Soccer Training in the Lake Travis Area: The Avila Method

Written by Cathy Hale | November 21, 2013

Soccer is alive and well in Lakeway thanks to the vision of Eryck Avila, owner and trainer at Avila Soccer. If you haven’t heard about this amazing training facility located in Lakeway, you’re in for a treat. From the mini Cristiano Ronaldo who is perfecting his “nutmeg” to the greenest soccer newbie, all levels are welcome at Avila Soccer.

Not only is the location convenient to Lake Travis area residents, it’s indoor, which means on the hottest of summer days, you’ll be comfy and cool. This is a great option for families with smaller children who may need a break from the summer heat or want to continue training indoors when things cool down a bit. Plus, Avila offers soccer clubs (Lonestar, Dynamo, Lake Travis, PAYSL, Town and Country), camps and leagues for children and adults all year.

Your Guide to Lake Travis Area Medical Care

Written by Mandy Spivey | November 19, 2013

Medical emergencies are never fun. I should know; when I had a fever that struck in the middle of the night and couldn’t stand up because of the intense stomach pains, I knew I couldn’t rely on good old fashioned taking ‘er easy and sleeping on the couch to pull me through.

Since I am relatively new to the area as well, I was up for the extra task of figuring out where to head for emergency treatment, and to my surprise, I had a few options. The Lake Travis area is home to several urgent and primary care centers, along with a full-service hospital that opened in April 2012.

Do you know which facilities are open and closest to you? Never fear, as we break down the Lake Travis area medical care centers to help guide you in the right direction.

Revival in Bee Cave: Cool Stuff for Your Home

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | November 18, 2013

Revival, located on Hwy 71 between RR 620 and Bee Cave Parkway, provides a “unique experiential shopping environment, with products and services focused on community and authentic living.”

If you’ve never been – maybe you’ve driven by it hundreds of times but never stopped – you might want to take the time to pop in next time. You’ll be glad you did. The storefront is inviting, but also deceiving because the entire place is actually much, much bigger than what you see from the highway.

I’d heard about Revival from designer friends that rave about it. One person described it as a “mini Round Top.” Turns out that was a pretty accurate description. Except that it’s here for us in the Lake Travis area to enjoy anytime we want!

Lake Travis Area Coaches Spotlight: Patrick Hinson – Lady Cavs Basketball

Written by Sean Shapiro | November 15, 2013

When the girls head basketball coach position at Lake Travis High School opened two years ago, Patrick Hinson didn’t apply. But when the job opened again this spring, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

“I didn’t want to just jump at anything,” Hinson said. “We knew we wanted to stay in the area and I was helping a great team at Pflugerville. But when it opened again, I couldn’t not try my hand at it.”

The decision paid off and after seven years as an assistant at Pflugerville – which went to the Class 5A state tournament last season – Hinson is running his own program at Lake Travis.

We caught up with the new coach earlier this week and learned what he likes about Lake Travis, on and off the court.
