📰 Most-clicked stories this week
Support beyond hospital walls: An interview spotlighted Shannon Medical Center’s Care at Home manager Jessica Cruz, who discussed help with walking, bathing, grooming, hygiene, meals, transportation, and medical costs. Shannon is hiring caregivers — see services and hiring info.
Season wrap on local waters: Texas Parks and Wildlife has stocked over 700 rainbow trout in the North Concho River, the final batch of the season. San Angelo Inland Fisheries offers tips for anglers — see schedule and fishing advice.
Music returns to longtime venue: Buffalo Social Club’s 2026 band lineup is set for the Lone River Stage, with Texas country shows during the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo in April, announced on Facebook — check out the full lineup.
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.

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 This week’s top finds
Wings without the fuss: RJ3 Chicken Shack keeps weeknights easy with crispy wings, juicy tenders, and the comfort of Shack Mac. When cooking feels like a no, their sauces do the talking and dinner’s done… low effort, high reward. Real-deal flavor, zero fuss.
Nostalgia, but wearable: Threadpix Vintage in San Angelo is a trove of true throwback finds: worn-in band tees, denim jackets, snapback caps, even VHS oddities, all curated by people who truly dig this stuff. The result is a new-old favorite that feels like it’s been yours forever.
Small-town cool-down: Touch Of Life Wellness Center brings targeted cryo to San Angelo life: slimming, toning, or a refreshing cryo facial. De-puff, speed post-workout recovery, and keep moving. It’s cold therapy that feels oddly satisfying… without stepping into a giant freezer.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
Most popular house this week
This 4-bed, 3-bath Bentwood Country Club stunner was built in 2020 and spans 2,478 sq ft, plus a 246 sq ft guest or pool house.

A heated pool and outdoor kitchen shine.
