^I think it was a single warehouse? My biggest gripe I believe was that it had a loading dock that was almost 5 feet above street level. Not exactly pedestrian friendly. When they built the new hotel they leveled the lot of course. Much better imo.
@ Priller and Mopacs, great pictures guys! Now I feel like a couch potato. haha
By the way, kudos, Mopacs, always glad to hear someone mention Stevie. Are you a fan? I know I am. I actually saw his brother Jimmie earlier this summer at Waterloo Park at the Blues on the Green concert. And my brother and his wife and I also took a trip up to Dallas several years ago to visit Stevie's grave. We also saw his old high school and even went in thinking there would be some mention of him, there wasn't. And maybe coolest of all, we saw his childhood home. If you live in Austin, or grew up here, you can appreciate his music. He contributed a lot to the music scene.

By the way, the photo below that was taken from that shopping center. Stevie Ray Vaughan bought one of his first guitars in his professional career at Ray Henning's Heart of Texas Music store in that shopping center. He was known to frequent the place often and pretty much put the store on the map. He bought his famous "Number 1" guitar, which he also called his "first wife". He bought the guitar there in 1973. In the video I posted above, the guitar he's playing is the one.
