There’s just something about a hotel pool. 🤩 Here are some wet and sunny spots to enjoy around Austin. This picture is of the Austin Motel pool, but many more are listed in the post.
Kind of a funny story about the Lucy’s Fried Chicken neon sign. 😂
You should have seen my grandmother—she was really something.
This is part of a series from Austin Monthly on Austin’s most famous neon signs.
Yeah, the Hideout Theater and basically everywhere else is closed right now. Looking for something new to do with your Saturday night besides watch Tiger King 🙄?
Maybe try the Parallelogramophonograph virtual improv show. It live. It’s spontaneous. It’s real. It’s not Tiger King.
And unlike normal Hideout Theater shows, you don’t have to find parking downtown. 🤷🏻♂️
Another local options Ground Floor Theater’s “Covid Canon” online series of live play readings. 👉 KUT Story
Here is a 40-volume set of posts (of five local Austin bands each) to check out.

I haven’t been glamping before, but I’m bookmarking this as a fun idea for a weekend getaway near Austin.
Tucked into the hills, amongst the cedars, oaks, cacti, and birds, your troubles will melt away in the hot tub, by the fire pit or watching the glorious hill country sunset from your rooftop deck.
Here’s a great site for finding interesting historical sites in your area or when you travel.
This is from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, so it’s authentic and not some kind of sales pitch or ad-driven site.
Here around Austin, they list the Elisabet Ney Museum and O. Henry Museum.
You can also get a nation-wide map of more places to explore. Maps + history + real-world sites? For me, that’s heaven. 🤷🏻♂️
That shalt not forget McKinney Falls as a great day hike around Austin.
