One of Austin’s Weirdest Homes: Sharon’s Folk Art House
When I visited Sharon’s Brentwood home during Weird Homes Tour 2015, I was in awe. Her 1,500-square-foot home peeked out from behind a tall front yard garden. The tour cryptically dubbed the location, “Sharon’s House,” so I wasn’t sure what to expect at first.

I’m not going to rant, rave or try to discourage people from moving here (or convince them to move here, for that matter). Instead, I hope to encourage all […]

Oddities Await at Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata

6 Unbelievable Public Art Pieces at The University of Texas
The University of Texas campus contains a large community. For those who don’t have a direct connection to this part of town, it can be daunting to navigate or even considered an area to avoid.

Top 10 Austin Etsy Artisans
There is one thing Austinites love more than breakfast tacos, and that’s local businesses. But not all local businesses are created equally.
