We have a local newspaper called "Community Impact ". Community Impact has the best coverage of living and working for the residents in the cities on the northeast side of Austin (Hutto, Round Rock, Pflugerville and Cedar Park). John Garrett, the publisher, and his team do a top notch job on a publication that is supported entirely by advertising.
Two items caught our attention from the January 2008 issue. First was the news that Hutto is the fastest growing city in Texas (annual rate of 667%). Mayor Maxwell of Round Rock reported last winter that Round Rock is expected to double in size by 2012 and has a 10% annual turn-over. California and Florida may be dead… but we're still growing.
The second item is that REI is building a new concept store in Round Rock near the IKEA and Premium Outlet Malls. For those of you from the West Coast (I'm from San Francisco) this is great news. REI has outdoor style that translates well to urban use. Consider the KEEN Oswego Bag that REI carries. High style, recycled materials priced from $55 to $70.
