LOCATION
Whetstone Audio is located in beautiful East Austin, just across I-35, on E. 6th St. There are many artist compounds and galleries in the area. Once a bastion to low rent, it is now being bought up by developers seeking to turn it into a cosmopolitan area. No Fear! There is a diverse mix to the area and plenty of people who are still trying to “Keep Austin Weird” in this pathetic era of Big Box mentality. A bi-yearly event called EAST AUSTIN STUDIO TOUR gives artists a chance to open up their doors and invite the public into a World not offered in the Mall.
This is Piedras de Noche Negras (which translates to Black Rocks in the Night) taco truck. MY FAV! Probably some of the best Mexican food in town.
Stevie Ray Vaughan Statue
My shop is seen at the 5:00 mark. It’s right over the tracks.
