Sep 12 - Austin, Texas Rundown

Monday September 12th, 2022

Happy Monday! Yesterday we honored all of those impacted by 9/11/2001. Things have been a bit slow from headline news today. This weekend was rough within sports for our Longhorns football & Austin FC (both taking a loss, but things are looking promising)

We will also be doing frequent giveaways for cool products, events, and experiences to our subscribers. Our goal is to make these quick, concise, and valuable. To keep you up to date on all things Austin, and get you to experience the city to the fullest.
