Austin has a cool neighborhood called SoCo, named after South Congress Avenue, where you can get great food and do some shopping for out-of-the-ordinary things. Here are some shots to show how colorful the area is:

Part of Fran’s burgers.

The sign for Prototype Vintage Apparel and Home. Out in front, these metal sculptures. . . .

On a ceiling near Prototype:

Hmmm, lime green seems to be a favorite in SoCo.

Food trucks are getting more popular now. When we went to Austin the first time, there was only this cupcake trailer.

I do like the vintage license plate. . . .

On Wednesday, I’ll take you inside some of the shops in SoCo.
