On Fourth Street behind our future home downtown there is a venerable music venue. (The name means Red Light District in Spanish, I believe, but there's none of that!) It was started, at least in part, by a friend of ours maybe in the '80's? He's out of it now. It's not as old as Scholz's or anything. (We'll visit there one day.) It has a big open hall in the back with a stage for big shows. Our friend called that the Marcia Ball Room.We will be surrounded by the arts at our new home downtown. The Austin Music Hall is being rebuilt across Third Street from us. And we will be able to see into the glass-walled Armstrong-Connelly studio of the Butler Dance Education Center from our balcony. Our building's motto is 'life surrounds you.' It's corny but sort of true!
It does sound wonderful to be living in that part of town. Don't forget about the farmer's market on Sats. too! You could possibly never leave a 5 mile radius of your new home and be perfectly content I bet! LUCKY!!
ReplyDeleteAustin is such a cool city! Love the colorful guitars around town. We have artistic bicycles around ours (also cool) but I favor the guitars.
