downtown tacos
One of the things I love about the downtown area of Austin is that half of it seems to look like a bomb site. I do not know the explanation for this, but it almost certainly is not bombs. The other half (to be fair more like 85%) of the downtown area of Austin looks like a cross between London, Dallas and Geneva (in my humble opinion): buildings from the last century mixed up with modern shiny extravaganzas. Behind this taco van you can see one of the latter. As with all great cities, the main thing is the contrasts. ¶ posted by alice at 12:34 PM

Well Alice the picture certainly helps to describe the unorthodox planning of your city centre, as well as showing how life is in Austin.

Do you have any pictures of Austin City Limits performances? This is my first visit to your blog, and I enjoy both the explanation and photo of this post.
Welcome kate :) We didn't make it to ACL I'm afraid- maybe next year. Do come back!
keropok, I am guessing you mean the thing that looks suspiciously like a CCTV camera? I think that's what it is anyway.
