MY AUSTIN
Favorite things about Austin,
by some of its notable locals
Meridian 98
“It’s such a lovely reprieve from the
daily hustle and bustle. It’s roomy
and cozy at the same time … and a
fantastic way to catch the sunset.”
AMANDA TATOM
Amanda Tatom is a familiar face to many, having
hosted KXAN’s Studio 512 from its start in 2014 Olamaie
until departing in 2018. Her daily goal is to show “Honestly, I don’t even need to look at the
her three daughters that a woman can be whoever menu. I would be happy with my own basket
she wants no matter her age or the cards she’s been dealt— of biscuits and a bottle of champagne!”
and chronicles it all on her blog, Adlibbing Life. In 2019 Tatom
is realizing a dream by designing a women’s capsule collection
for Austin’s own League of Rebels.

in the evenings or on Sunday after church.”

and such an Austin icon.”
