Cheapo Records in Austin is a large, cool store full of used CDs and DVD’s, with reasonable prices. There are also Cheapo stores in Minneapolis and Denver.
As I drove up Lamar Boulevard in Austin, I noticed this terraced wall of graffiti art, leading up to some sort of castle-like structure on the top of the hill. I can’t imagine what kind of project this once was, and I wonder if the castle at the top is abandoned, but the art works that people have created here are amazing.
Austin’s North Loop neighborhood includes a number of really cool shops, including Breakaway Records, a great place for used and rare vinyl records, a vintage clothing shops, and the 24-hour Epoch Coffee coffeehouse.
For my first breakfast in Austin the week of South By Southwest, I chose a new restaurant on 10th Street called simply Bacon. I was immediately charmed by the attractive building, and I found that as the name suggests, bacon plays a prominent role on the menu, which features both breakfast items and burgers. They even have their own “house bacon”, which is cured on the premises. Bacon is located at 900 W 10th Street in Austin near Lamar Boulevard.

Allure is a new waterfront restaurant on Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall, Texas, just outside of Dallas. Having learned about it on Facebook, I decided to stop there for dinner while on my way to South By Southwest in Austin.
