I'm not saying it's related, but coincidentally, the month furloughs were lifted, Cowtown Eats saw its highest traffic ever. And when state workers were notified that the furloughs would be returning, traffic returned to its previous levels. I guess that means that unsurprisingly, happy hour is considered discretionary spending. Thank you all for supporting the site.

Cowtown Eats had more than 21,600 page views (up 105 percent compared to last year) and 4,000 unique visitors (plus 194 percent over last year).
