"Stepping" Back in Time
Fri, Aug 06, 2010
Written about growing up in the 50s and 60s in Austin and the Hill Country in general. During the 60s, there were no homes on Lake Austin or Lake Travis to speak of. It was just wild country with a few beer and dance halls here and there. These dance halls were, for the most part, owned by Cedar Choppers and were off limits to most other people who lived in the city. I just went anyway and behaved myself while I was there.
