Voting in the Lake Travis Area on May 6: General Elections & Special Elections

Written by Cathy Hale | May 3, 2017

If you haven’t noticed, Central Texas roadways are peppered with campaign signs — both professionally printed and hand-scrawled. That’s because it’s election time.

On Saturday, May 6, residents who haven’t participated in early voting in the Lake Travis area are headed to the polls. Voting will take place for City of Bee Cave, City of Lakeway, Dripping Springs, Llano, as well as many other municipalities.

Unlike many elections that roll gently through the Texas hillside, this one is causing quite a stir.

Last week, an article in the Bee Cave Bee about LTYA sparked a hot debate on Facebook. In addition to lively debates over City Council members, there are special election items that have been creating a buzz in Lakeway and Llano.

To prepare you for the big day, we’re giving you a snapshot of the May 6, 2017 Joint General and Special Elections ballot, so you know exactly what’s what.

#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.

“Every painting is a voyage into a sacred harbour.” – Giotto di Bondone

Art inspires.

Art transports.

Art elevates the space it inhabits, bringing with it a connection between artist and viewer.

Lake Travis has a new gallery on the scene to take in and enjoy, exhibiting some of the finest paintings, sculptures, and even jewelry to a growing clientele.

Spending an afternoon perusing fine art at Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery, you might feel more like you’re on the Upper West Side than in the Oaks at Lakeway. Where Austin severely lacked fine art, gallery owner Lisa Russell sources and delivers to the Lake Travis area.

It’s a labor of love that started when Russell first came to Austin over a decade ago, bringing along her fine sense of taste.
