Greetings to all.  Two out of three images this week are from the tourist
district.  The first one was a pop up store that built and advert out of a
Japanese delivery van:

Someone in this household keeps updating their tableau on a massive root
bed; this is three blocks due west of the first image:

Going back to the tourist district there is a bit of a battle going on with
western boots.  Allens has been a fixture on Congress for maybe fifty
years.  There was also Heritage Boots which is a custom boot specialist
shop and now there is a new player Tecovas.  Allens has gotten a lot more
aggressive and has opened a discount store with there overruns or merch
past it's sell by date.  To advertise they have a fun window.  Take a  look
at the details as they are common tropes in central Texas:

All the best.
