点评:South congress 10 years ago was all about local craftsman and artists, food trucks, nice cafes and quirky shops like The big top candy and Allen’s boots. Even though these 2 are still there which is why I gave it 2 stars it is being taken over by pretentious stores where you smell candles from a glass jar and stores like Nike and Alo if I want those types of stores I would go to a mall.
They have the mural sign which is nothing much yet they have someone there to help you take a picture in front of it weird.Bonus however, it is next to Jo’s which is a good place to have a drink.
I will not be going back as it feels soulless. This street could be anyway in the USA.
They are trying to keep the ethos of ‘Keep Austin Weird’ but this has failed dramatically.
翻译:十年前,南国会大道 (South Congress) 还是当地工匠和艺术家的聚集地,遍布着餐车、不错的咖啡馆和像 Big Top Candy 和 Allen's Boots 这样别具一格的小店。虽然这两家店还在(这也是我给它两星的原因),但这条街已经被装腔作势的商店占据了,比如你闻到玻璃罐里散发的蜡烛香味,还有像 Nike 和 Alo 这样的连锁店。如果我想买这种店,我会去购物中心。
他们有个壁画招牌,其实没什么特别的,但居然有人在那里帮你拍照,真是莫名其妙。不过,它旁边就是 Jo's 酒吧,是个喝一杯的好地方。
我不会再去了,因为这里感觉毫无生气。这条街在美国任何地方都一样。
他们试图保持“保持奥斯汀的怪异”的理念,但显然失败了。
