Greetings to all.  This week is all in Austin with items seen while walking
around the neighborhoods.  The first image is from Travis Heights which is
a fairly old neighborhood just south of Lady Bird Lake.  Because of
its location it is fairly pricey but the residents tend to be artistic(the
neighborhood holds art fairs twice a year).  While coming across a foot
bridge over a creek I found this item:

This is a full image of a mural that is now gone.  The owner of the
pizzeria couldn't get the price desired for the restaurant so leased the
building to a very entrepreneurial youngish woman who has opened an
extremely popular breakfast destination.  In any case I will miss this
quirky murals that this establishment maintained: the entrance was a large
replica of Elvis's late sunglasses:

Last, this is a fairly typical scene in Austin's independent coffee shops.
I thought the mix of customer polaroids and staff posted items was a good
mix:

All the best.
