Celebrating ATXtoday’s third birthday

We’re partying like it’s our birthday... because it is.

An orange graphic of the Austin skyline is in the background. The two ATXtoday city editors, Figi and Morgan, are in the foreground wearing party hats. The text reads "Happy Third Birthday" with the ATXtoday logo in the middle. Orange balloons and sparkles are spread out throughout the image.

Let’s celebrate all the stories we’ve shared over the past year.

ATXtoday’s birthday is Friday, Oct. 18, and we’re celebrating three years of delivering hyperlocal, positive news to inboxes in Austin. Time sure does fly when you’re having fun.

In honor of the occasion, we’re sharing the stories we’re most proud of producing in the last year, from quizzing you on the Capital City’s map to drinking colorful cocktails at local bars.

Let’s toss the confetti, blow out the candles, and dig into some of our favorite stories.
