Although, not in the Mayor’s Book Club list for ‘10, Keep Austin Weird – A Guide to the Odd Side of Town by Red Wassenich is a good read for Austinites or just anybody who likes to read a book with lot’s of pictures!
I checked this book out from the City of Austin Library last night. The library is great, you can use it like Netflix or Blockbuster online movie rental account. You have a queue in which you can fill up with movies, books, or music. They transport your requested items from all of the city to a local location for pick up. You can have the items out for three weeks and up to five movies out at a time! Why not use it, you pay for it in tax money!
I couldn’t stop reading this book last night, it was great!
Get your copy of Keep Austin Weird – A Guide to the Odd Side of Town by Red Wassenich on Amazon, today!
And how appropriate, today another Austin landmark is slated to close. Jaime’s Spanish Village will be closing July 30, as reported by the Statesman. realbeer commented, “Actually, Austin’s slogan changed some time ago from “Keep Austin Weird” to ‘Keep Austin Corporate’”. Seems so true.
I would like to offer, Keep Austin Free, Man!
Keep Austin Free, not related to, but although cool site about all that is free and keeping it that way, in Austin, Keeping Austin Free
