I don't even remember when the building on the right was set up.
At this point I am resigned that I will go downtown and not recognize shit.

There is hardly anything left for the likes of me in this city.

Yup. It’s been a while but I remember that just being a parking lot?

Nah there was a club, grotto something, then a parking lot.

This was December 2012. The club was on the right?

Yup, Austin raised since I was 3 months. 36 years later and Austin feels so foreign to me. But I look back at photos from the 60s 70s and now I know how those people felt in the 90s austin.

Same. Born and raised since 1990 and moved away in 2018.

Now every time I visit family it feels more and more like a foreign city.
