Rave On Vintage will close its brick-and-mortar store at 1509 W. North Loop Blvd., Austin, on Aug. 31 and transition fully to online sales. "This is not an end to Rave On, it's just an adjustment to the new way of the world," wrote the owners on Instagram. Husband-and-wife team Mike Hooker and Chelsea Wine opened the vintage decor and furniture store in 2013 in a converted house built in the 1960s in the North Loop neighborhood. 512-215-2669. www.raveonvintage.com
