Worth visiting!
The Drag is a stretch along Guadalupe Street that borders on The University of Texas. I used to eat lunch there a lot when I worked and went to school at U.T. It used to have a lot of local establishments, but it’s been taken over by some national chains. I remember when The Gap moved in. There used to be a local record store on one corner that I shopped at, but now it’s a Baja Fresh. Ho hum.

was when they closed the Metro coffee shop at Guadalupe & 22nd. And so soon after the record shop immortalized by the Spoon lyric:
“And you know you’re the one and that hasn’t changed / Since you were 19 and still in school waiting on a light on the corner by Sound Exchange” (yes, he sings that second line REALLY fast)
oh, the Drag, we hardly knew ye…

That’s the one I was thinking of. It was replaced by Baja Fresh, but Baja Fresh isn’t there now. The space is empty. They should put Sound Exchange back!
The Drag is ever changing. I saw two Pita restaurants right across the street from each other. I’d never in my life seen a Pita restaurant and now there are two just across the street from each other.

Man, the Drag is too awesome to have vacant space. It’d be nice to have Sound Exchange back.
I’m kind of intrigued by the two pita restaurants though! I was hoping to swing by Austin in December…hmmm. :)
