I’ve a feeling we’re not in Austin anymore
I’ve a feeling we’re not in Austin anymore
It was 2010 when I moved from Austin to Elgin. One of the first things I noticed was how much people wave to each other here. I remember driving down Avenue C as a newly settled Elginite, seeing someone standing on the side of the road waving. As I approached, I realized it was someone I knew. That had never happened to me before in Austin. If anyone ever waved at me from the side of the road, they weren’t using all five fingers. 08/02/2023 12:00 AM
