Best Reason To Visit The Stevie Statue

Walter Hyatt Bench

Okay, so some of us are trying to do something good for ourselves. That means walking along Town Lake and, of course, paying homage to the statue of the hometown hero. But just west of Stevie Ray Vaughan, where the path takes a bend, sits the Walter Hyatt bench, with a small patch of flowers beside it. We stopped and sat there, sweaty from walking, and talked about the late musician who died in the ValuJet crash in 1997. A bench doesn't sound like much to some people, but sitting there on a warm summer morning, the river made us remember the gentle lyricism of Walter Hyatt, and we think he'd like that.
