📰 In the news
Savor a storied setting: Miss Hattie’s Restaurant in San Angelo serves unforgettable burgers inside a Victorian beauty once a late 1800s bordello, closed by Texas Rangers in the 1940s, with seafood on the menu — read the full story.
Service reach extends beyond campus: Kappa Sigma at Angelo State raised $19,000 for veterans during the Feb. 21 Military Appreciation Day SEAL Jump, marking the third straight year surpassing $50,000 in donations at Foster Field — see who led the effort.
From trauma to recovery: Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue recently highlighted neglect cases during Justice for Animals Week, including Casey’s recovery with a prosthetic near San Angelo, and a rescue involving over 160 equines — read the full story.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Creative recharge spot: With working studios and a laid-back gallery, The Chicken Farm Art Center features resident artists you can meet, plus quirky ceramics and handmade gifts. Casual, welcoming, and full of ideas, it’s a place to chat, discover, and leave with something crafted right here.
Backyard upgrade, sorted: Climate Right Construction builds deck additions, pergolas, and screened-in porches that turn after-work hangs into mini staycations. Expect a local team, clear estimates, and designs tailored to San Angelo homes. Trade wobbling lawn chairs for a sturdy perch and soak in those West Texas sunsets.
Seafood night, settled: Whether you’re team peel-and-eat shrimp or rooting for an oysters Rockefeller comeback, Wharf Restaurant keeps it classic with coconut shrimp and a rotating catch like salmon, mahi, or scallops. A low-stress, high-flavor hang for seafood night with friends, minus the fuss.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
