Mean Eyed Cat Brings Spirit of Johnny Cash to West 5th Street

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Bill Tucker

For 90% of the world, there’s only one Man in Black. Forget the Will Smith movies; ignore the X-Files. Johnny Cash, one of country music’s original rebels, is the only one who matters. While you can trek to Nashville to pay homage, there’s a joint right here in Austin that honors the legend through its décor, drinks […]

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Bill Tucker

The Tap Wall at Waller Creek

Picture this. You’re walking eastward on 6th Street in the midst of Friday night madness. People shouting drink specials. Pounding house music.

Posted on March 6, 2015 by Leah Nyfeler

Lady Bird Lake Eastside Loop

Back in the 1990s, the trail around Town Lake (now known as Lady Bird Lake) had real issues. Maintenance of the crushed granite pathway wasn’t at its finest, sections were confusing, crossing I-35 dangerous, and the eastside segment was pretty much only populated by serious souls covering the full 10-mile loop. But as Austin has […]

New Waller Creek Will Revitalize Downtown Austin

Posted on November 4, 2014 by Edgar Barguiarena

Waller Creek Project in Austin

You could say that the Hike and Bike Trail around Lady Bird Lake is the heart of Austin, Texas. The ebb and flow of runners and cyclists of all ages making their way along the 10 mile trail is like blood coursing through veins. With the boardwalk now finished, the 1.3 mile gap at the south shore is closed […]
