📰 News we're reading

• Zipline launches drone delivery service in Round Rock for groceries, food and more (news4sanantonio.com) — Residents in Round Rock can now get groceries, coffee, and even prescriptions delivered by Zipline drones, with service currently available to customers within about three miles of the local launch site. More than two dozen participating businesses, including Instill Coffee, are testing the system, which aims to cut traffic, speed up deliveries to around 20 minutes, and potentially expand across more of the Austin metro.
   

• San Antonio's only Free Blockbuster is moving. Here's where (lmtonline.com) — San Antonio's only Free Blockbuster movie-swap kiosk is relocating to The Shops at Bandera Road, but the project's reach already includes Houston, Austin, Round Rock, and Dripping Springs. For Round Rock residents, that means the same nostalgic, free movie-trading concept is available closer to home, keeping physical media and old-school video-store culture alive across Central Texas.
