Signs of Life on East Sixth
Mention Sixth Street to anyone in or outside of Austin and they will surely visualize the seven block entertainment district between Congress and I-35. What about the “other Sixth Street?” That would probably be West Sixth Street, home to trendy salons, bakeries, galleries, and home furnishings stores. Last on the list of Sixth Street images, is East Sixth Street–east of the interstate that is. It really is amazing how one interstate can make such a difference in the evolution of a stretch of road. After brunch at Cafe Mundi, I decided to explore East Sixth and take a few pictures. From the people hanging out in its bars on a Sunday morning, to the day-glo paint jobs on crumbling buildings, East Sixth Street is arguably more colorful than its more well-known section west of the interstate. Coming tomorrow soon: An eastside train ride. See signs of life on East Sixth…
