Food Coma at Roaring Fork North
Oh. My. Stars. Or some equally astounded proclamation. I ate more food last night at Roaring Fork North than any human should ever eat in one sitting. Going into it, I thought, ah, I’m doing the Spartan 300 Challenge, doing a good job of watching what I eat, I’ll just nibble on some stuff ……

Third Third Base
Not a typo, but in fact a real brick-and-mortar third Third Base. Opening this July at The Grove in South Park Meadows. I have very few experiences with Third Base OR South Park Meadows (one apiece), so perhaps I am mildly unqualified to comment. But I do know this: Austin must have the fewest sports…
