Our Broker just took her 8 year daughter and friend to this lively place for a fun dinner! What an entertaining evening they had and loved the front porch swing seating!! They certainly enjoyed some great people watching :). Weather permitting this weekend (we might get some rain) a stroll downtown Congress Avenue might just be the thing.  And, while you’re there, stop in here for brunch, lunch or dinner and enjoy the bright lights and a fun Tokyo experience!

I’ve always enjoyed the staging tips Joanna Cohlan has written with her “Fresh Eyes” as they are so down to earth and timely for all of us to utilize in our business or personal use. Her photographs are always intriguing....viewed from a different perspective than most.  She is a smart and savvy business woman. Being an intellectual lady she is constantly searching for answers with her inquisitive nature. She loves people and exploring places as she seeks to uncover new and fascinating tidbits of what we call life. In her recent featured post for the home contest I was completely blown away with her thoughts and views. She stated our “home” is a symbol of our values and our culture (which I totally agree) but for Joanna a home is a reflection of the places she has been, the person she h...

  About Congress Bridge Bats Austin The Congress Avenue Bridge spans Town Lake in downtown Austin and is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America.  The colony is estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats.   Each night from mid-March to November, the bats emerge from under the bridge at dusk to blanket the sky as they head out to forage for food.  This event has become one of the most spectacular and unusual tourist attractions in Texas.  The most spectacular bat flights are during hot, dry August nights, when multiple columns of bats emerge.  There are several points from which to view the event, and an information kiosk is located on the north bank of the river, just east of the bridge.   Bats Season is Mid-March to Early November

A recent Austin icon meets what is perhaps the oldest Austin icon. P Terry Burger Stand has opened its fourth location, on venerable South Congress Avenue. Patrick Terry and his wife opened the drive thru eatery on South Lamar and Barton Springs just five years ago. Of course it was an instant hit, reminding some of Inn and Out Burger, and many of us of, a good, old fashioned; natural hamburger. P Terrys has a basic menu, that includes healthy choices such as the chicken burger, and what others regard as the best veggie burger in Austin.       Additional P Terrys locations were added on North Lamar and 32nd Street, and William Cannon and Mopac. The lastest location is in the heart of South Austin, attracting a customer base, who no longer have to drive out of their way for their favorit...
