Our August issue, printed at our very own printing facility, is in your hands just as summer typically reaches its peak temperature-wise here in Texas.

In this edition we’ve included our Impacts section (see pages 8-9), which is often cited by readers as one of the hottest—or most popular—parts of our paper. Our To-do list (see pages 10-11) offers readers ways to stay informed about local events and meetings no matter how hot it gets outside. And our dining feature (see Page 31) and business feature (see Page 29) highlight local businesses to visit so you can get out of the heat and enjoy their offerings.

And speaking of going places, our Transportation Updates (see Page 13) features local projects undergoing construction that are intended to reduce traffic in the area, making visiting local businesses hopefully a bit easier.

Don’t forget that you can contact us to submit local upcoming events at communityimpact.com/ltw-calendar; ask us questions about or pass along transportation news at [email protected]; or ask us about how local government works or events going on in the area at ltwfeedback@community impact.com. And if you wish to contact me directly, I can be reached by the email below my signature. We love to hear from our readers!
