Out of Business — Lammes Candies, Austin’s oldest continuously run family-owned business, is shutting down after 141 years of selling ice cream, pralines, and other sweet treats. The owners explained the decision by citing “changing market conditions and the long-term sustainability of our operations.” The business was founded in 1878 by William Wirt Lamme of St. Louis as the Red Front Candy Factory. After Lamme lost the business in a game of poker, his son bought it back for $800 and reopened it as Lammes Candies in 1885. Lammes Candies became famous for its Texas Chewie Pecan Praline and Longhorn chocolates. Its lamb logo was the first neon sign in Austin, and it was the first Austin business to operate a soda fountain. The Texas Flyover

New Flood Warning Sirens — Kerr County has received eight flood warning sirens mandated by lawmakers in the aftermath of last summer’s deadly flash floods. Local officials expect to receive more sirens in the near future. The sirens will be installed within the next month along the Guadalupe River near 10 summer camps, including both Camp Mystic locations. The “most critical” areas with dense summer populations have been prioritized for the first sirens purchased by the Upper Guadalupe River Authority. The Texas Flyover
