Friday 5: Ooo, that place sounds interesting...
Today's question comes from Gord:
Tell us about five local places (in your neighborhood, town, or city, or region) that you have never visited, but would like to go to sometime... if you ever get around to it?
Given the number of us Fivers in the Austin area, we just might have to do some group outings based on this question.
- Sixth Street: I mean, I've been to Sixth Street. I used to drive down it at least once or twice a week, but it was always just to get somewhere. I've been to perhaps one or two clubs on it, but not at night when things were happening. Austin is supposed to be the "Live Music Capital of the World", and I've never been down to the club scene. So, someday, I'd like to do a multi-night club-crawl through the music district.
- Club Luna: There's an old building near where I live that more than anything looks like an abandoned warehouse. I drive past it all the time, and an old weathered sign reads "Club Luna" or something like that. The parking lot is always empty, and the whole place has the look of somethings that's just waiting for the wrecking crew to come in. But... and here's the weird thing, on two or three occasions I've driven past it late at night and seen the parking lot just packed, and it seems that it was always a full or near-full moon that night. So, while I'm really curious about a night spot that's both run-down and very active sporadically, some crazed voice in the back of my mind is shouting out, "Don't go in there -- it's a werewolf club!! Didn't you pay attention in From Dusk til Dawn??"
- The Oasis: There's this near restaraut/bar out by one of the lakes here with an open, stepped terrace so that you all get that nice view overlooking the lake. It practically burned down recently, but it's supposed to be repaired and open again.
- Austin's Strip Clubs: There are perhaps a dozen strip clubs in the Austin area, and I've only been to three. Alas, it's actually kind of boring to go alone.
- Texas Stadium: I was raised as a Dallas Cowboy's fan, but I have never been to one of their games live, not even been in the stadium, that famous stadium with the hole in the roof. Well, they're building a new stadium, so Texas Stadium's days are numbered. I'd just like to go to a game before the end.
Other Friday Fivers can be found poring over maps here.
