San Marcos Premium Outlets is a wonderful place for some decent to great deals. I noticed some…read morestores that have closed down or have moved locations since the last time I was here. They tend customer service ranges from decent to great depending on the store. The stores that I love going to are Coach, Victoria's Secret, Kate Spade and Watch Station. I checked out Aerie recently and liked the store as well. These stores tend to have great deals and the customer service is usually good. I appreciate that they have a food court and a couple of stands available for a snack. I tried taquitos and greens in the food court which had yummy food. Their Aunty Annie's stand is one of my favorite spots. I look forward to returning to the premium outlets.

It's a nice place to stroll around, though I do miss some of the familiar shops. The fresh air is a…read morewelcome change from being cooped up inside. They've got a decent selection of places to grab a bite, which is always a plus for an old timer like me. It's a pleasant enough spot for an afternoon outing, I suppose.

I was so impressed by this industrial end of AUSTIN. The section of town is full of artistry and…read moremurals. It's a bucket list essentially if you are new to town. It's not just the eye catching murals, it's also the sandwich, shops, coffee, and sidewalks that allow you to stroll by each of these businesses. I recommend coming out here on the weekend and take a stroll around. If nothing else is open, you are not far from eateries and shopping alike. It's centrally located around downtown.

I visited for the first time last week for the Elmo Arts & Yelp event and came back with my…read moreboyfriend to check things out again. I had so much fun at the event, I couldn't wait to get back, and what a great way to spend Sunday Funday! This industrial complex is located next to the Missouri Pacific train yard, and it boasts multiple warehouse buildings. Each building offers something different, from a cheerleading/dance studio, print shop, restaurants, breweries, wineries, and more. Most of the buildings adorn murals painted by local artists, expressing the vibe and warmth of an artists and locally owned business park. There is something for everyone here.

The lines for the parking spots do not match up with the wheel stops. We unfortunately didn't realize this, and parked according to the lines causing our wheel to be pinned by the cement wheel stop.

There's a little bit of everything, including a Cinemark movie theater. Parking is always a breeze. The "mall" is pretty spread out, so be sure to wear comfy shoes if you want to walk the entire thing without re-parking. Oh, and be sure to bring a large shopping bag to carry all your purchases in. You're certain find something(s) you just can't live without, but didn't know you needed. :)

I spend a great deal of time at The Domain. I asked myself why while I was back at the Domain…read moreagain today. The Domain is now a sought-after destination - where shopping (casual and high-end), dining, night life and other fun experiences converge. You can go shopping, meet a friend for happy hour, or do something completely fun and adventurous in the course of the day or evening. One of my Finance groups hosts a monthly Finance meeting at The Domain. Shopping...some of my favorite fun stores are at the Domain such as J. Crew and Anthropologie. I love these two stores because they have unique goods at great prices, in general, and specifically, have amazing sales. If you are a big baller, you can shop at stores like Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany's and whole host of other high stores. I'm a tiny baller. Smile. Dining - At the Domain you can get reasonably priced foods to high end fare. Some of my favorite places to dine in the Domain include Glorias, Flower Child, Paul Martin's and Haywire. Important to note, most restaurants have great happy hours and associated amazing prices. Nightlife - Some say that The Domain (especially on Rock Rose Avenue) is the new 6th Street (known for its bars and Live music). I would not venture out that far. However, if you want to party in the wee hours of the night, you can do it at The Domain. Fun Experiences - You can transport yourself to fun such as IPIC movie theatre, Museum of Illusion or the Battle of the Games. Last weekend I discovered the Barkin Creek Dog Kitchen & Bath...so, The Domain is not only for humans. Love The Domain...I am sure I will see you there!
