🎉 Coming Soon: The Townie — Backroads & Heartlands Edition 🎉

🇺🇸​ ​Launching July 4, 2025 🇺🇸

If a Chamber of Commerce, a CVB, an Economic Development Organization, and a local media company all went to an AI-enabled barn dance and had a beautiful rural renaissance baby...

​✨ It would be The Townie. ✨

Rooted in storytelling. Powered by AI. Devoted to small towns.

What to expect?

The Townie is not a newspaper. Not a gossip mill. Not a place for hot takes or headlines.

It’s something better. It’s your modern-day front porch—where stories get told, neighbors get seen, and your town finally has the spotlight it deserves.

Each weekly edition of The Townie: Backroads & Heartlands will include:

• 💛 Local legends, small biz spotlights & community wins
• 🗓️ Handpicked events, festivals, and don’t-miss moments
• 📬 Love letters to Main Street, written with soul (and AI superpowers)
• 🧭 Stories that remind you why you love where you live

Our pilot edition serves Mason County, TX + the surrounding patchwork of small towns:
Brady, Junction, Harper, London/Hext, Menard, Fredericksburg, Kerrville, San Angelo…
​with many more to come.
