[Leica] Friday Follies

[Don Dory]

Greetings to all.  One of the fun things about Austin is that there are
still a high number of quirky shops distributed around the city.  The first
one is on the east side:

One of the poor things about Austin is that influential developers can gain
planning permission for strange out of place developments.  There is a
block of  lots bordering a middle school and residential neighborhood that
a developer has gained permission to build a mid to high rise mixed use
development.  This group paid substantially over market to acquire the
lots(one of my friends who owned a business was asked to name a price which
he named higher than his wildest dreams and was granted if he moved out in
30 days):

Same deal different business:

All the best.
