Thing 5: Greetings from Austin


A couple of years ago, I spent a few days in Austin with my best friend from college. She lived in South Austin, a part of town known for its quirkiness. That's something for Austin, whose slogan is "Keep Austin weird" (as in, keep the locally owned stores in business instead of malls and big box chains). As we walked from her house to South Congress Avenue to do some shopping at those local stores, we passed this mural on the side of a building. I loved how it was just like one of those old postcards you don't see much anymore.
