So during our vacation in Johnson City, my husband and I kept being intrigued by all this artwork…read moreall around town by the Eyfells. The mystery was finally solved when we went to Debra Goldstein Fine Art, thanks to Debra herself. She explained the Sculpture Ranch to us that we'd seen, and this crazy art mansion we'd passed in Stonewall, too. She even took us out in the backyard to see this 3 ton (that's 6000 lbs, readers!) dripped bronze sculpture by Mr. Johann Eyfells that he had put in Debra's backyard with a helicopter. He moved out to Johnson City about eight years ago when his wife Kristen died and never returned to their shared city of New York. How beautifully tragic. Thanks for solving the mystery, Debra, and for the brownies! It was great to meet you! The collection of chairs as art is also fabulous.

I'm an oil painter living near Houston. I wanted to support a Texas business, so I purchased…read moreseveral canvases from Moose after finding them online. I'm very pleased with the quality of the stretchers and the thickness of the canvas Moose uses; however, the canvas surface was very rough, so I applied (and sanded down) another two coats of gesso. FYI: Moose is an online business, not a regular store / shop. Their website does not state this.

My experience with Central Texas Gunworks was honestly shocking…read more My girlfriend and I ordered a firearm that was originally quoted to arrive in about 10 days. Instead, the order took over six weeks to arrive. Frustrating, but we were patient and waited. When the firearm arrived, my girlfriend went to pick it up. The store advertises closing at 6:00 PM, and she arrived after work at 5:55 PM. The gun was paid for so this was simply a pickup. When she arrived, the employees were already outside sitting in their cars getting ready to leave. She politely asked if they could go inside and complete the pickup since it was still before closing. Instead of helping her, the employees laughed at each other and joked about whether they were going to do it, then told her to "just come back tomorrow." She explained she had rushed there after work and arrived before closing. They claimed the credit card machine was broken, which was irrelevant because the firearm was already paid for. The worst part about this, the store owner Michael, sat and listened. and never lifted his head from his lap. Despite arriving before the posted closing time, and after waiting six weeks for an order that was supposed to take ten days, they refused to help her and continued dismissing her request. She was laughed at and treated with complete disrespect. This wasn't just inconvenient, it was unprofessional and humiliating customer service. If your business advertises that it closes at 6:00 PM, customers should be able to expect service until 6:00 PM, not be turned away at 5:55 by employees who have already decided they're done for the day. After a six-week delay, the least a business could do is treat a customer with basic respect. I hope this is addressed because no paying customer should be treated this way.

One of the cheaper options to use if you need an FFL. Although they only call you once when your…read moreitem arrives so it's kind of easy to miss out pick up. Best thing to do is to call when delivery is made to make sure. I used this as a transfer once a while back and they don't have text or email updates when your transfer is ready which would have been nice. I also went here recently for just the TLC shooting qualification. The instructor Mike was really helpful walking through the process. For people that are less experienced in the range they will get taken care of and instruction if needed to keep the range safe. I did have to listen to an insurance sales pitch even though i did take the full class here. But that just seems like a norm these days.

This was my first time on the Dell campus. It is a huge property with many buildings and parking lots. In addition, there were many green, statuese trees. It gives you the feeling that you're at a retreat as the surroundings are aesthetically pleasing. There were more than 120+ fitness enthusiasts present. In addition, for your entry fee of $18 you received Taco Deli tacos and Poppi sparkling water. There was also some cool Glow in the dark and other swag. There were several staff members present and security. Everyone was extremely helpful and super friendly. Great instructors, great participants, great fun!!!

Grab your galoshes and umbrellas and head over to see The Fine Art of Photography at the Gallery at…read morethe J, Dell Center. On view are exceptional works by Grant Reid, a native of Scotland, now living in Austin. Grant's photography covers a wide range of images from his world travels with a concentration on architectural and figurative motifs. All are enhanced by his clever use of abstraction, distortion and painterly gestures which captures the joyful celebration of people and places. Also, check out the photogravures by Dennis Fagan. His work is mainly from his series on the River, with striking imagery that is a marriage of the print, ink, resin and the copper plate. Both artists' works can be seen through February 22nd.

I found out that they moved their location recently into a space that actually is more theater-like inside. I've seen a production from TexArt before a few years back in their old location in a strip mall and the although that show was good, the seats in the old location was kinda uncomfortable. The current theater felt newer and also sold snacks to eat like chips, popcorn, soda, water, and various candies and treats. They didn't sell alcohol (probably bc they didn't have a liquor license) but had beer and wine that they can pour you a glass with a donation to the theater. Overall the experience was really good. The production set, choreography, acting, and flow of the whole show was well put together. I was afraid that I would fall asleep because we went to see the show right after dinner but it was very good and exciting throughout. The only thing that I didn't like about this new location is that it had limited parking so I would recommend to get there earlier. We showed up about 10 min before the show started and got one of the last parking spaces. The previous location was in a strip mall so there was plenty of parking!
