There’s just the one terminal

011013

Well, sure the sign DOES say “Terminal A.” Good luck finding Terminal B, though, as there’s only one terminal, and it only has one gate.

The good news is that baggage claim isn’t very far away.

Oh, and the runway is listed as “gravel/grass.”

The night door

Next to this building, the soft light of the frosted-glass door spills out onto South Congress Avenue. I had to time the shot to occur during gaps in pedicabs heading down the sidewalk toward the more lively parts of South Congress.

Dirty windows

Just like this place, I have the idea this vacant building won’t be around too much longer. It used to be the location of a very interesting furniture store, but it’s in sort of an awkward location – across the lake from downtown, too far up Congress from the hip SoCo neighborhood. I hope that the stonework survives whatever comes next. And that someone washes the windows.

Do not leave car

010613

This place was a great find. It’s just a block from the grounds of the state capitol, and my feeling is that the next time I’m in town, it’ll probably turned into something else. And that will be sad, because you just know something new won’t have that excellent sign that says, “Do not leave car without keys through front door.” And, I guess no matter how sophisticated Austinites think they are, the “spin-cast deer feeders” sign sort of betrays them.

Combo meal

This place needs a little bit of work, maybe.

But check out the lunch special – less than six bucks seems like a pretty good bargain, although I am not sure I’d want to sit very close to that wall.
