Another interesting bar opened a couple months ago, and it has a Frank's hot dog trailer out back.

Now, I'm not saying it's on the level of Rainey, and most patrons wouldn't want it to be, but it's becoming a happening little area for the southerners. |
I'm intrigued. I've been following the stories about what's happening down there, and I have a friend who lives in the area who has talked about it, but I can't even picture what that area looks like or anything about it. Will have to take a road trip soon. Is it your impression that they're creating a real enclave of old South Austin, complete with alcoholic grey-ponytailed hippie/cowboy hybrids? Or is it yet another hipster mecca? Either way, it sounds worthy of some casual ethnographic research.
