Corner of Redd and Manchaca..

I keep thinking this was a Berts BBQ back in the old days. It is right across the street from Joslin.

An Austin Original Cecil Perkins --- His legacy

Cecil is my mother-in-laws first cousin. He is quite the individual and I could listen to him for hours. He was in the real estate business in the 60's. His office was on the south side of Ben White between South 1st and South Congress. His firm was called Big Volume Perkins. He also did a little subdivision development. In this neighborhood he left his legacy forever. His wife's name is Mozelle, his name is Cecil and the last name is Perkins. This will always be there. Interesting tidbit about South Austin....

What the old Holiday House looks like now.

It's an Italian Restaurant called Vinny's. So many memories here.

Aussie's Bar and Grill

For some reason I have been thinking for years that this is the former location of the A&W Root Beer Stand. Help me out here, what did this place used to be?

The old South Austin Theater

This is how it looks today. Some Hi Tech company is in there. I actually think that they make videos around Austin.
