City Cast Austin
🐊 Life-changing Cajun in Mueller
October 17, 2024 · Kelsey Bradshaw
🏁 Y’all, I think I’m a bad Austinite and Dallasite. I’m reading this story about how Formula One was once held in Dallas. I had no clue, and now I need to go read everything about F1 before it starts this weekend!
Thank you to Tecovas, our exclusive launch sponsor and Western wear favs, for their support!
What's CITY Talking About?
🎸 Willie Watch Parties
If you weren’t able to get tickets to Austin City Limits’ 50th Birthday Bash featuring Willie Nelson at the Long Center tonight, I have good news: You have three watch parties to choose from! Armadillo Forever — the Armadillo World Headquarters experience at South Congress Hotel — is hosting a livestream party, along with Deep Eddy Cabaret, and The Pershing. [Armadillo World]
🎙️ What You Missed From the Cruz-Allred Debate

🚏 CapMetro Adding Bus Stop Benches After Audit
Why am I so scandalized by this? After an audit last month found that less than half of CapMetro’s bus stops have benches and even fewer have a shade structure, the agency is adding more benches. [KUT]
🦈 Austinite Headed to ‘Shark Tank’
Destin George Bell, the founder of Austin-based running app Card.io, will be on the Season 16 premiere of “Shark Tank” on Friday. No word yet on if Bell was able to make a deal with the sharks! [Austin Business Journal]
