A Stroll Down Congress Street, Austin Texas
(With a slight detour onto First!)
Every town has a rhythm
a feeling that permeates every street, every back alley
Austin’s is WELCOMING
ECLECTIC
RESPECTFUL
WEIRD!

I want to go to there!!!! (Memorable quotes from 30 Rock)
South Congress Avenue is an epicenter of the Keep Austin Weird vibe.
Last year I photographed some grackles at the Hey Cupcake! trailer in my neighborhood.
Did you recognize the nightshade fruit from our walk at the Wildflower Center?

I absolutely did and was going to comment! If my financial status were different I would live in the neighborhood just off South Congress but alas it’s not to be
Love the giant jackrabbit!! No wonder you want to relocate!! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Janet
And you also! Even though I long for warm weather, our current weather forecast is for snow Christmas Eve, I will have a White Christmas! ( But not if I relocate to Austin! lol)
I just love Austin! My daughter was a bar tender down on 6th street for 3 years. It was always a hoot to go visit and check out the weirdness downtown. Glad that you enjoyed your visit!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a fabulous 2013 Bonnie!
