Emmett Shelton, Sr. (1905-2000) tells of the Eastern area of South Austin in the 1920s.
Emmett was born at home on West Live Oak in South Austin. A friend had the first bicycle, and they watched the first streetcar on So. Congress. We had a blacksmith Bakery, Feed Store, Livery, Grocery, Saloon and others.
Emmett tells of John Wendy's Store at Barton Springs Rd. and Lamar. It was the last store before Dripping Springs and Bee Cave.
If you live in So. Austin or had family living in So. Austin in the early 1900s - you will learn something about your South Austin neighborhood or family.
