The Woodlands, Texas- #1 on the coolest suburbs to visit! That’s my home town right now!!!
The Woodlands, Texas
This suburb is a master-planned community built within 28,000 acres of forest, 25 miles from downtown Houston. After opening in 1974, the town has wooed many young Texans; the average age is 36. One main attraction is its thriving town center, filled with great restaurants, bars, and major retail outlets, all accessible by foot or trolley. Fox Sports Network and Anadarko Petroleum are headquartered here, and an elaborate park and lake system is navigable by water taxi.
See: Check out a concert with 17,000 of your friends at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion.
Taste: How can a town that is less than 40 have a pub that’s 107 years old? Simple: it was shipped from Ireland. At the well-traveled Goose’s Acre Bistro and Irish, dine on sirloin shepherd’s pie or a Monte Cristo O’Brian sandwich.
Although I only spent 24 hours there, I really am in love with Austin. The night life was ridiculous, so diverse on 6th street with themed dive bars, tattoo shops, night clubs, cyclists, and everyone partying in the middle of the street. During the day I got directed to south congress St. to a bunch of sweet vintage shops and boutiques.
Miss it already, can’t wait to come back.
Texas. I don’t even know where to begin with my “home state.” I always resisted calling it that because I felt like I moved around too much to have one of those, but now that my parents have left Texas I really do feel like it’s home…too little too late, I guess?
I can’t say I am as unabashedly pro-Texas as most of my fellow Texans are, but I will always have a special place in my heart for it. With that, I give you the commercial that sums up a lot of those fellow Texans I mentioned above :) Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Texans LOVE their state!

It is things like this house that make me homesick. The creative community in my hometown is insane. I went over to visit my friend Randy and 30 minutes later music is playing in his living room. Doors are always open and people are constantly in and out. All good company. Will always love you 409.

Have you ever had a gut feeling so deep that you didn’t have one single doubt about it? Not one? That’s me right now. It’s so scary to think about, but I am certain this is going to happen (even though people would laugh in my face if I told them). It makes me so excited for the future that I can…

Yesterday I was drawn to a particular theater called Tinseltown for one reason and one reason alone- a $3.25 ticket price. That’s every day before 6pm. After six? $5.25. How completely beautiful is that?
Tinseltown is located inside Six Flags Mall. When we pulled into the parking lot,…

off to the frio river! my family and i have been making an annual pilgrimage there every summer for the past 12 years and each trip is just as refreshing as the first. the river’s natural setting is so simple yet so beautiful. the frigid cold of the clear, glassy water shaded by monstrous oak trees combined with the steady ebb and flow of the current…it really is the best mental detox imaginable. and so i bid thee adieu until wednesday tumblr friends!
ps THE SUBURBS IS OUT TODAY AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO AT LEAST GO LISTEN TO IT KTHANKSBAI
