Do not leave car
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.

Do not block intersection
The weather was changing: the day that started clear ended up overcast and damp.
Taken across the street from the Texas Chili Parlor, referenced in the famous Guy Clark song Dublin Blues and almost literally in the shadow of the capitol building. (If you go to the Chili Parlor, order up a mad dog margarita and hum a few bars for Guy.)

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.

For lease
Of course, in addition to taking pictures along 6th Street on Sunday morning, another good time to visit would be any time the sun’s still up. The place doesn’t really get started until way past dark.
If your fondest desire has been to run a bar in Austin, you might want to check this place out.

Service entrance
Thank you, Low Sun Angle, for illuminating the service entrance to Buffalo Billiards.
While I took this, a very large man stopped next to me, took a hit from his asthma inhaler and looked around to figure out what exactly it was that I could be interested in photographing. Unable to solve the mystery, he hitched up his pants, and headed on up the street toward Congress Avenue.
I thought you’d like that little detail.
