Austin Daily Photo may seem to always be wandering downtown or in South Austin but sometimes we are closer to our current residence. Actually this was taken last year but it is pretty much the same today. Shown is a side view of one of the many thrift and junk shops on Burnet Road not far from our home. This one is called Top Drawer and is run by Project Transitions, a local charity providing housing and hospice for people with HIV and AIDS. We donate a lot of stuff there, especially lately as we downsize. We have occasionally bought a few things, too. FFP got an originally expensive tie for a dollar that he loves and I got some nice trade paperbacks. I think the cool decorations were done by art students from local schools. There is also a faux floor lamp about twelve feet high in the parking lot. I apologize for pictures that aren't taken recently. However, our 'stockpile' can show some of Austin that is and maybe sometimes we will show things that are now lost. Fortunately, Top Drawer is still there, at 49th and Burnet just in case you are in Austin and want to do some cool shopping or need to get rid of something.

I love this place and the organization it is funded by Project Transitions. I used to work for them in the residential hospice house for people with AIDS.
