"The Oregon-based drive-thru, walk-up coffee stop will open on Wednesday, Sept. 29 at 8614 Potranco Road." For non-coffee lovers, there will also be lemonade, smoothies and other pick-me-up drinks.

"The events will be held between Feb. 10-27 at the AT&T Center/Freeman Coliseum fairgrounds" but it's not too early to make plans to attend. Tickets are already on sale, so grab your boots and your cowboy hats, and "mosey on down" to purchase your tickets! (KENS5.com)
  3. There's still time to submit nominees for the 2021 BroadwayWorld San Antonio Awards, but the deadline is getting real close, as this is the final week! This year BroadwayWorld will allow the audience to vote on the theatres and productions that they're most excited about seeing and visiting. Make sure to submit your nominees soon so "your favorite theatres, stars, and shows get the recognition they deserve!" (Broadway World)
  4. The autumn leaves are falling, the mornings are getting cooler, and fall activities are abounding here in town. From pumpkin patches to corn mazes to Halloween decorating, there's so much to see and enjoy in the fall. So gather with friends and family and get ready for pumpkin spice season!
