📰 In the news
Spotlight on community leadership: Justin Jonas was named San Angelo Chamber of Commerce 2026 Man of the Year in February, honoring leadership and service that shaped the city’s future and strengthened the business community — read the full story.
Celebrating culture through music: Lakeview High School’s mariachi band in San Angelo recently earned straight 1s at the UIL State Mariachi Festival. Led by Rosendo Ramos, the program helps students build skills that last — learn more about their journey.
What dog owners should know: Snake season is underway in the Concho Valley, and vets report more rattlesnake bites. A local club offers snake avoidance training to help dogs avoid snakes and alert owners — learn signs and training details.
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
Curtains up, San Angelo: Angelo Civic Theatre keeps the stage buzzing with volunteer-powered productions and a full 2025–26 season, mixing classics, musicals, and big community energy. It’s local talent, lively storytelling, and easy fun… the kind of night out you’ll actually anticipate.
Bacon-wrapped bliss, anyone: Dog Gone It grills dogs to order, loading them with chili, cheese, and jalapeños, then pops up around San Angelo, often beside Lily’s Pizza for Nanjos on the side. It’s easy, messy, and exactly what your midweek craves.
Your new reading nook: Nook & Press pairs a thoughtfully curated selection with cozy corners, a whimsical kids’ nook, and warm community vibes that make lingering easy. It’s a place to settle in, meet neighbors, and finally give that TBR a fighting chance, while discovering new favorites for your next quiet afternoon.

🫶 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 →
