Go Batty over SOCO
...One of the hottest street scenes in the Southwest, and it’s neighbors, Barton Springs Road, South 1st and South Lamar all benefit from the hip vibe that permeates the area.
The attractions of Central South Austin, encompassed in the locally-famous Zip Code 78704, include everything from the kookiest vintage shops to the largest urban bat colony in the world. One can practically hear the spirit of Austin’s own Stevie Ray Vaughn, the late guitar hero, echoed in music festivals on Auditorium Shores, one of the many music venues in the area.
After visiting South Austin, the kind of place the locals go to have fun, you’ll understand why so many Austinites want to “Keep Austin Weird”. As they say in SoCo, “78704-ever!”
