Howdy, Austinites! Here’s Your Daily Dose of Austin Awesomeness – Thursday, May 16, 2024
Y’all ready for a day that’s as mixed as a margarita at your favorite Tex-Mex spot? The weather’s servin’ up a little bit of everything today – so grab your sunglasses and maybe a raincoat, just in case. And hey, it’s the Texas State Capitol Dedication Anniversary! Let’s dive into what makes today in Austin as special as finding parking on South Congress on the first try.
