🌱 RRPD #NationalNightOut Campaign + Lots Of Events To Attend Today!

Good Morning, awesome Round Rock Patch readers! Let's get this day started off right, with a quick dive into everything you need to know about what's happening around town...

First, today's weather:

*Gasp* I've been tallying the days of consecutive rainfall...Today marks day THREE of showers - I'll be over here...Just doing a little happy dance!

A shower and thunderstorm. High: 92 Low: 73.

Here are the top stories today in Round Rock:

1. Round Rock Police Department is encouraging local neighborhoods to sign up for their annual #NationalNightOut Campaign — An event that promotes police-community partnerships and camaraderie, in order to work and live in safe places. Neighborhoods throw community events, cookouts, and block parties that include collaborations with law enforcement's safety seminars, visits by emergency personnel, youth events, and more. (RoundRockTx.Gov)
2. QuikTrip is an Oklahoma based gas station franchise that has made its way to 2270 Chisholm Trail Road. Land has been cleared and construction has begun along Old Settlers Boulevard for its new location, though representatives from the company have not responded to confirmation of this information. The franchise has over 950 locations across the country. (Community Impact)
3. Housing inventory in Round Rock has definitely been showing some very decent inventory lately. These are some of our favorite picks to check out that have open houses coming up soon. Pricing is from the mid $300's to this luxury pad with an in-ground pool and beautiful front yard with mature trees, coming in at$985,000 listing price. (Round Rock Patch)
