True Spirit of Austin
RECEIVED Tue., Dec. 11, 2007
Dear Editor,
I am a life-long Austinite … Yes, I am only 27, but I have been reading the Chronicle for years. I bartend at a North Austin haunt (the Shining Moon), and a local artist that I know came in and saw me reading the Chronicle. We chatted for a bit and he left … Five minutes later, he came back in and said he had a gift. It was the first edition of the Chronicle with Stevie Ray Vaughan on the cover. It blew me away that the true spirit of Austin does still live. We are a town of so much great character and history, and it was amazing that an almost total stranger gave that awesome gift back to me.
