Snow and below-freezing weather has greatly impacted the US. In the Central Texas area, we aren’t used to it, so this winter storm has essentially, shut down our city. Here is information about what’s open, where to get food, and more.

Starting this month, I’m featuring a local Austin business on my Instagram and Facebook that I am supporting and wanting to share! Hope you’ll join me in supporting them as well! This week, it’s Jacques’ Old Fashioned Handmade Goods!

In an attempt to flatten the curve of COVID-19 (aka Coronavirus), Austin is now ordered to STAY AT HOME. What does that mean? I explain what the mayor’s Stay At Home Order entails.

During the current climate, our local restaurants, food trucks, and workers need us more than ever. Since dining rooms and bars are closed, order takeout or delivery are the options until this ban is lifted. We have included more details about that and resources for help among the service industry.

UPDATE* —- In lieu of the recent news from CDC and social distancing, I will not be updating the list in this post BUT I want to share a list that are offering gift certificates to purchase online in order to support our local businesses.
