Burnet Road in Austin is the emerging hot spot in the city. A street once filled with car repair shops has renewed itself as a “must be” location. You still see a car shop or two but Burnet Road is now home to chic shops, restaurants, cafes and ice cream – definitely worth the visit.
Also not to be missed in Austin is Scholz Garten. Sitting right next to the University of Texas campus, the ambiance and the beautiful patio are another “must see”. You simply cannot go to a UT football game without a stop at Scholz’ on the way – that is of course if you can get in! Still a lot of fun at any other time it has been a favorite in Austin since 1866. It is always a stop on an Austin visit.

Tonight is the night! The stunning light show, The Bay Lights, is returning to the San Francisco Bay Bridge and this time it will be permanent. This immensely popular light display first started a couple of years ago and has recently taken a hiatus. Now it will be back – better than ever for all to enjoy. There will be a beautiful fireworks display to celebrate the relighting of The Bay Lights and the opening of Super Bowl City and a concert by Chris Isaak on The City Stage. What a fun event! We are excited! If you are in the area. try to enjoy it. If not, the relighting will no doubt be on the internet. www.powerhiking.com
