austin texas: Finding history and art in Austin Texas is easy if you know where to look. - 05/18/09 12:06 PM
Growing up in a large metropolitan city like Houston I spent many weekends in the multitude of museums Houston had to offer. There is no better way to beat the brutal Houston summer heat, than in the cool air of a museum drinking in the art. Newcomers to Austin often ask where is the Austin museum district? I want to go see some art and there does not seem to be any in Austin. To them I say you just have to look for it. It is all around Austin. To make things easier for the newly relocated individuals I … (2 comments)

austin texas: New proposed laws in Texas regarding your pets. It's only a bill now so do what you can - 05/16/09 10:47 AM
As a pet owner for over thirty years in Texas I try to stay on top of issues that affect my pets. That said, my last three dogs came from local rescue organizations, Schnauzer Rescue of Texas to be specific. The reason I am writing is to let you know there was a recent bill (SB 1845) introduced to require all pet owners to spay and neuter their pets. When/if this is passed into a law they anticipate the permit fee will be about $300 per pet. If you don't apply for and receive a permit to keep your pet fertile, you could be … (2 comments)

austin texas: Check out what the Top Ten "most searched cities" are on Trulia.... - 01/21/09 08:33 AM
There are several sites that the public can search for homes online. One of the most popular with consumers is Trulia. I have often wondered where consumers are looking at homes. Recently I saw that Trulia had started compiling records of where people are searching for homes. So they have created a list of the top ten cities that consumers searched in 2008. Please note they did not release the actual number of visitors to the site for each city, they only posted the list of cities in order of rank. As usual Austin is solidly in the top ten!
