Ranked
Austin is the No. 5 top tech market in the US and Canada, according to a recent CBRE analysis. The ranking looked across 13 metrics ranging from tech talent concentration to office rents.
Seasonal
It’s pool season, and if you don’t have one of your own, we’ve got a suggestion. Try using Resort Pass, a tool where you can find day passes to hotel pools across Austin. We’re eyeing the lazy river at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort.
Kids
Four CapMetro buses are showcasing artwork from Martin Middle School, Manor Rise Academy, Del Valle High School, and Danielson Middle School as part of the “Art on a Bus” program. Students were asked to theme their work around being a community hero. (KXAN)
Outdoors
Lockhart State Park is now 453 acres after Texas Parks and Wildlife acquired 188 acres of two adjacent properties, which were both family ranches. (KXAN)
Eat
We all know that Austin’s signature dish is breakfast tacos (or barbecue, we claim both). But did you know our neighbors over in San Antonio are serving up puffy tacos? Explore more local dishes around the world with the Taste Atlas.

Gong Cha | Multiple locations | Try This: the “Double Coconut” with added boba + star jelly
Sweet Memes | Multiple locations | Try This: the iced sakura latte
ChiCha San Chen | 6501 Airport Blvd., Ste. 100 | Try This: the taro bubble milk tea (which comes with taro paste)
Terrazzo Tea | 1923 E. 7th St., Ste. 150 | Try This: the “Tarozo” and add strawberry heart jelly

This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill. Amy’s Ice Creams is currently serving three flavors of ice cream made with Shiner: Shiner Cheer, Shiner Raspberry Lemonade, and Shiner Summer Shandy. I don’t mean to be dramatic, but I literally screamed with delight at my screen when I saw.
