Downtown Austin
Damnedest Thing
RECEIVED Fri., Sept. 2, 2005
Dear Editor,
I saw the damnedest thing this week. I stopped at a gas station on Burnet, and when I went in to pay for my gas there was was an APD officer (in uniform) and a homeless guy (cardboard sign in hand) at the counter, talking like they were long lost brothers ... and both of them had lit cigarettes in their hands. Just standin' right there at the register and smokin' like it was 1955. Damnedest thing.
Is Austin actually going to enforce this "smoking ban" thing [“911, We've Got a Smoker,” Music, Sept. 2]?
