It’s a National Dog Day Celebration! The SPCA Comes to the Remington Apartments

We decided to keep the pet loving vibrations happening here at The Remington Apartments. Last week we urged you to adopt a pet from a local rescue shelter, and we'd waive half pet fee. Let's do something like that again. But this time, we'll bring the dogs to you. Plus we're going to celebrate all our canine friends who make The Remington apartment community... [Read more...]
The Remington Offers an Incentive to Pet Adoption

We've mentioned before about how much we love pets here at the Remington. We know that having an animal friend is actually good for your physical and mental health. Next week, we're going to show just how much we love animals and how much we support pet ownership. You see, next week (August 15 - 21) is National Homeless Animals Week, which culminates...

Street Festival Meets Outdoor Movie Screening: A Fund Raiser for 6th Street

We at the Remington want to make sure you don't miss out on any of the good stuff Austin has to offer. Here's one you want to know about: Ghostbusters is showing this weekend. But it's not just showing. It's showing on a street in downtown Austin. In fact, it's going to be almost like a street festival. Vendors will be on hand selling good food, and there... [Read more...]
Movie at the Pool Friday Night: We’ll Provide the Pizza and Popcorn
Here at the Remington we have a terrific swimming pool. It's lots of fun to splash around in or to lounge beside on a sunny day. But it's not just a pool. We here at the Remington can transform it into a an outdoor cinema. The way we do it is magic. Which is sort of like how a house can fly just by attaching a bunch of balloons to it. But apparently...

Announcing Sweet Tea Day at the Remington (and why we’re leaving a bit early that day)
Hey Remington folk, we have some good news and some, well, not bad news... it's just a heads up. First the heads up: Tomorrow, June 10, the office here at the Remington will close a bit early, at 4:30pm. See, it's the night of the Austin Apartment Association annual awards, and we'd like some time to change into our ball gowns and tiaras before heading... [Read more...]
On This Memorial Day Weekend, Take a Moment to Reflect
We wish to congratulate everyone on making through one of the longer stretches in the American calendar without a three-day weekend. We hope you’ll be able to spend some down time the next few days doing something you like, even if it’s just remaining horizontal on the sofa. But we invite you to take a moment this weekend to think about the ... [Read more...]
Sunscreen: What’s the Right SPF for You?
It's a long weekend, the first we've had in a while. And it's the unofficial start to summer. Which means... It's time to break out the sunscreen. You'll need it as you lounge by the pool here at the Remington. And when you're picking out some sunscreen, we all know that the higher the SPF rating, the better. Right? Wrong. It's not quite that... [Read more...]
Coffee Isn’t Just Coffee Any More: Look at This Cool Latte Art
Coffee has become so complicated. There was a day when the biggest choice you had to make was regular or decaf. Now you have dark roasts, light roasts, African, Asian, blends, cappuccinos, Americanos and delicious cold, creamy concoctions. And what happened to calling them small, medium and large? Now it's Venetto and Grosso, or something like that...... [Read more...]
When was the last time you took your best friend for an outing? And I don't mean to dinner and a movie or for coffee over at Scooter's. I'm talking about your canine best friend. Sure, you walk Spike every day. But wouldn't he love it to really stretch his legs a bit and maybe meet some new friends? Luckily, there's a very nice, new dog park not... [Read more...]
The King of Cookies: We Celebrate on Saturday
What's the greatest cookie ever invented? Oreos are good, I'll admit. But they try too hard. They're too complicated. Oatmeal? They're not bad. But isn't oatmeal a breakfast cereal? Pecan Sandies? Eh... they taste good. But they have the word sand in the name. That's weird. The winner is, of course, Chocolate Chip. They are quintessentially American.... [Read more...]
