One other thing that is not a bar on East Sixth between Congress and IH35 is the Austin Visitor Center. They took a neat old building and its Grove Pharmacy sign. I don't know what the hours are but there would seem to be a better location for a place where families go to get brochures about museums and IMAX shows and local treasures and such. Who knows, though, maybe the vibe of this stretch of street will change over the years. Stranger things have happened.

LOL I knew the pharmacist who ran this place many years ago. He told me that they used to sell a bundle of marijuana to make tea for babies for colic. He said it was the best thing for them and was sad when it bacame illegal! I always wanted to but the building and live in the rooms above the sign looking down on 6th street. Not now though! I am way to old for such nonsense!
