Just another day in paradise

 

Moonlight Tower

This is the Moonlight Tower on South First.

Building

Two cranes are up where there used to be a Hooter's Restaurant on Riverside at South First.

Some Neon

Roadhouse Relics on South First will fix you up with a sign for your home or business.

Remnants

Jovita's Restaurant on South First was caught up in a drug raid and the property was under the control of the U.S. Marshall for a long time. On a recent walk we saw that the building was razed. This patch of tile remained.

Coffee Boost

That same doughnut trailer from yesterday offers CDB Coffee. I don't know about that. Caffeine is my drug.

Doh, Doh, Doughnut

Massive doughnut sculpture outside the Gourdough's Trailer on South First. I've never had one of their offerings. If I ever get "the diagnosis" I'm going to put it on my bucket list, though.

Drake on the lake

These posters are advocating for a rehab of the Drake Bridge. We walk over it all the time.

The devil went down to Texas

That's the name of an old song. I think it's what the owners of this well-known sign shop had in mind here.

Catch a wave

Love the color scheme and pithy sayings on this phone box.

Camo covering

This pole is disguised in case it needs to take cover or masquerade as a hipster.

McConaughey Rules

People like Mathew in this town. This custom clothing place on South First features murals of different movie scenes and this one is of Mathew in "Dazed and Confused."

Stoned skull

This skull in a stone wall lends a creepy air to this restaurant on South First.

New graffiti

I guess putting flowers on telephone poles is a trendy idea now. Saw this one outside of El Mercado the other night. 

New graffiti exposure

Graffiti has taken a new form in ATX. I think that this placement with the girl's head was on purpose. 

Turquoise Tacos

This taco trailer on South First has a nice color scheme.

What?

We are often confused about popular culture. The mural outside this business which seemed to offer sports clothes baffled us.

Emergence

A place on South First that used to be a tattoo parlor (I think) is being refitted. The side has a mural showing a butterfly emerging. Don't know what the new business will be.

Mixed Messages

This graffiti on a construction wall at South First and Riverside seems to have had its message changed. I like the doctored version better but they might have added the number for a suicide hot line.

Get Your Vapor Here...It's Sexy

Those vapor shops are popping up everywhere. This one had a motorized mannequin waving a sign.
