Horseshoe Bay Nature Park’s plans for 2023 are to install new signage educating visitors about the park’s wildlife geology, water conservation, and plants along a half-mile walking trail. Bird watchers identified several native Texas birds such as herons, orchard orioles, bluebirds, and northern cardinals. Since its opening, naturalists were able to identify over 235 species of plants and wildlife in the area, which would have never been possible without the local community’s dedication to conservation. The park also received a $17,571 grant from the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) and Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) to install 15 interpretive signs with QR codes around the park.

We call Lovers Seafood 'New England-style,' but there are also dishes like Cajun shrimp & grits." "But it'll be the same way we've always been - we don't feel the need to be pigeonholed. "We definitely need to put that pizza oven to use, so we'll have flatbreads but we'll also use it for other dishes on the menu, including some steaks, seafood, and chicken," Fearing says. They'll also take advantage of an asset that comes with the space: a wood-fired oven. ![]() Having that proximity, where we can go from restaurant to restaurant each night, is so valuable."ĭea's menu will be Italian-centric, with house-made pasta and modern takes on traditional dishes like osso buco. One of our priorities, one of the things that makes us special, is that we're there in our restaurants.
