south congress ave


Welcome to South Congress Ave.


I had the pleasure of accompanying one of my artsy friends on a little walk about last Friday.


Trying to capture some of the "weirdness" Austin likes to pride itself on.




Each visit is always unique.


Mmmmm...
There are some great places to stop for a bite to eat as well.





Don't forget to say HI to Nik...  he likes fries (or so the sign says)


Plenty of off the wall shops, local art venues and vintage delights just waiting to be discovered.

The artsy partner in crime...

Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Lots of odds and ends in the works.
I'm updating the living room to a more summery vibe and I'll have pictures soon...

Also, I plan to do a little painting of furniture as well...

Oh and a certain sparkly movie comes out tonight at midnight...

Wow, I think these are some of your best pictures yet! I loved, loved, loved the tour! Man, I sure wish I could be there. I especially love the picture of Nik. How fun.

Looking forward to seeing pictures from your updated summery living room and painted furniture ...

Hugs .....

Okay, these are just incredible. Love your unique angle on things and I think my fav is the pole with all the bulletins, and posters stuck on it. But don't hold me to it cause I love those shots of Nik too!

Austin looks like a colorful and very interesting place! What Fun- especially with a fun friend!

Do you want me to keep you in Friday Pretties for this week? If you want to be in every week, let me know.
Have a great night,
Joyce

I've only visited Austin once and I stayed on South Congress. Great area.
