I presume that there is some indication of current culture displayed: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/S+Congress+stop+sign+stickers.jpg.html This home is a few blocks south of the School for the Deaf: I was impressed by the size of the tank and the quality of the mosaic: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/household+rainwater+tank+with+mosaic.jpg.html This one is future nostalgia. The grocery is being slowly demolished currently with a planned three story building with underground parking replacement.

It has been closed for two years due to Covid: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Cboy.jpg.html Downtown in the tourist area there is a pretty good TexMex restaurant with very nice murals: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/Abstract+blue+mural+at+a+restaurant.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Austin+Signs/skeleton+on+the+Guadalupe.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
