It’s probably going to be super packed they just opened today and we went right around 4 pm before the crowds to check it out. It’s really hot outside and there’s not really any fans. It’s a neat photo op and there’s a maze in the back! It reminds me of that neon sign museum in vegas. It’s free for all to enter. There was only 1 taco truck on site but it sounds like they plan to add way more. It felt like a graveyard of old Austin spots.

We considered going last night, but quickly decided the cons outweighed the pros of going opening night.

“It’s like a wax museum with a pulse “. I’m not sure nostalgia is a good business model.

So THAT’S what that is! I drive down 969 to get to work/city in general and saw all the signs and them clearing out everything. Cool!

Where is the shade?? An outdoor bar in Austin with all the seating in the open… seems like a lovely place to hang out when it feels like 112.

This is the real deal. They have been collecting for years and looks amazing because it is a passion project, totally unique and original and just what Austin needed in a way that bridges old and new Austin.

Awww, memories of when Austin was affordable 😢, ughh the feels
It looks so good. Great concept. But anytime I see a place that sells liquor with interactive stuff like games I immediately know that place is sticky like a Chuck E. Cheese. Fuck man, the pandemic really did a number on me I think I may be a germaphobe now.

is that the Gourdoughs sign from the closed S Lamar location?

Are these all just signs from places that lost to changing times/different demographics/lockdowns etc?

Looks like you’ll roast.
Maybe in the fall.
