Drive by the greyhound station and get shocked into thinking you're in LA.
Keeping Austin weird since 1980. Maggie Mae's bar on 6th Street was cool in the early 1980s. They expanded in the mid-1980s and it lost it's charm. Lots of BBQ joints around, Lockhart south of Austin, Franklin BBQ, County Line, Salt Lick, etc. in Austin. Louie Mueller's in Taylor, north of Austin.
