This article is a good fit for the storytelling award because it showcases the creativity and innovation of small towns in Central Texas. While the focus is on chefs and restaurants and shops and small business owners, the story also reveals a changing and growing landscape in the towns surrounding Austin where creatives are flocking and finding meaningful support from their neighbors. It also illuminates the importance of historic preservation and creative reuse of historic spaces to help protect the authentic stories of the places we live, work, and play.
