A drive down Austin memory lane
Austin has grown fast, but it has grown from a tiny urban core — meaning that we have less pre-World War II buildings than probably any other city our size in the South. Many neighborhoods quite close to downtown were developed in the 1960’s or later — the city basically ended 3 miles in […]
