I’ve been going to Rangers games since I was a little kid.  I remember the days of Nolan Ryan and Pudge Rodriguez.  This summer has really taken me back- watching players like Josh Hamilton and Michael Young who obviously love this game.

No, the Rangers are certainly not the best team in the league… they’re not even above 500 right now.  But this team is more fun to watch than it has been in a long time.

Now that the heat is starting to go down just a little bit, it’s a great time to go and relax at Rangers Ballpark.  And one benefit this has over Cowboys or Mavericks games?  You can get tickets CHEAP- as low as $10 (though those may not be the best ones to choose).  Sure, the beer costs $7, but they taste so good when you’re sitting at the ballpark.

So, everyone should try and head out to Arlington sometime in September.  The Rangers may win, they may lose, but it will definitely be fun.

If you’re looking for a hole-in-the-wall type of place with pretty fantastic food, you should head down to Main Street to the AllGood Cafe.  I imagine that anyone who lives in the area already knows all about it.  If you don’t though, it’s worth a little bit of a drive to have brunch on the weekends.

The place is unbelievably laid-back and has a serious Austin vibe.  I recommend trying the mimosa.

One tip – if you go on Saturday or Sunday, early is always better.  They get pretty crowded later in the morning.

Enjoy!
