Happy Sunday, y’all!

Running a little behind this week thanks to the many photoshoots and events I’ve had (fun fact, I’m a professional automotive photographer as my main career - photos HERE).

So, here is your weekly post where you’ll get the ATX FYI on what’s going on in the community! This includes new openings, events, new brands, recaps, and so much more!

Would love for you to comment below and let me know what you want to see MORE or LESS of!
