Austin glamour revisited 3
For Parts 1 & 2 of this reworking of the Austin glamour topic, see posts below.
Nightlife. Believe it or not, this was the glamour sector to emerge last. Austin always supported scores of music venues, gay clubs, beer halls and shot bars. Now, nightlife has spread well beyond East Sixth Street and the Warehouse District. A punky, indie scene hunkers down on Red River Street while an early-night, young-professional agglomeration strings along West Sixth Street. Still developing: Ultra-lounges like Pangaea, Qua, Imperia, Malverde and Buzios Room that pander to the bold and the beautiful.
And sports. Don’t forget sports: National and international celebrities like Lance Armstrong, Andy Roddick and Mack Brown call Austin home.
With all this glam, has Austin lost its soul? Nah. All those pretty people? They’re Austinites. So still open, active and authentic. You’ve got my word for it.
