The M.O.
Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

Austin has a reputation as one of the healthiest cities in the state. In order to maintain a healthful lifestyle, one must have a solid nutritional foundation, and when it comes to shopping for fresh fruits and vegetables in Austin, there is no shortage of quality providers. But, with 36 percent of the vote, it is clear that your favorite is the Austin Farmers’ Market, winner of the Your A-List poll for Best Place to Buy Fruits and Vegetables.
The market’s flagship located in Republic Square Park downtown operates on Saturday mornings. On Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., the market moves north to Triangle Park on Guadalupe Street. The year-round market has been providing the community with locally produced (all from within 150 miles) fruits, veggies, nuts, cheese and more since 2003. A project of the Sustainable Food Center, the market defines it mission as improving access to local, healthy and affordable food for children and adults in Central Texas.
Austinites are not the only ones to recognize the quality of the delicious market, as Green Light magazine has recognized the Austin Farmers’ Markets as one of the top 10 markets in the country by Green Living Online.
