_{Was this e-mail shared with you? Sign up here.}

July’s winding down, but the calendar’s still packed. From plant workshops and classic movies to a s’mores martini that tastes like summer vacation, we’ve got a mix of fun for every flavor.

Also, Georgetown’s growing again (big time), so get ready for more neighbors, more trails, and more spots to check out next time you head that way.

We’re back to our usual twice-a-week schedule next week, including our August events issue. Don’t miss it if you want a head start on late-summer plans!

🐶 Skip the sterile stress-fest

PetVet365 feels more like a living room than a vet clinic—couches, snacks, and belly rubs included.

✅ Exam rooms with toys, TV, and chill music
✅ Cat rooms built for anxious kitties (designed by Fear Free Certified vets)
✅ Open weekends + custom care plans that actually make sense

👍 Opening in August. Your pet’s new favorite place is almost here.

The Gist: Round Rock City Council approved a $672,184 allocation from the federal Community Development Block Grant program to fund home repairs, sidewalks, and nonprofit services. Local groups benefiting include the Round Rock Area Serving Center ($60K), CASA ($20K), and Meals on Wheels ($20.8K).

Why It Matters: These funds help vulnerable residents with housing needs, food assistance, and support for children in protective custody, strengthening the community’s safety net.

The Gist: A new neighborhood called Woodside is coming to the area near Ronald Reagan Blvd and Hwy 195. It’ll have over 1,100 homes, with a mix of Del Webb Sun City and regular single-family homes, plus parks, trails, and a community center.

Why It Matters: Georgetown’s growing fast. Woodside will bring more places to live, including homes starting in the $400Ks, and some solid community perks.

What’s Next: First homes from Pulte should be ready by late summer. So new neighbors could be moving in soon! Read more here.

Momo Maya sits off Gattis School Road, quietly serving some of the best Himalayan comfort food in town. The steamed momos with juicy chicken, rich pork, or jhol style in spicy achar are the standout.

The wings are packed with flavor. The paneer kathi rolls are solid. Everything’s fresh, made with care, and tastes delicious. Whether you're all about momos or trying them for the first time, this food truck’s worth the stop.

Root to Rise Plant Co. in Georgetown is the kind of spot that instantly lifts your mood. It’s part plant shop, part local market, and all charm. You’ll find healthy, vibrant plants (yes, even Alocasia Dragon Scale), plus funky gifts, vintage finds, and handcrafted goods from over 20 local makers.

The vibe is warm and creative, with a backyard space for events and a DIY hat bar inside. Bonus: the staff is truly lovely.
