About Austin Shopping

Shopaholics will be pleased with what they find in the Austin shopping scene. The usual range of chain department stores and retailers are in evidence of course, but the city has notable independents as well, such as Book People and Waterloo Records. West Sixth Street is lined with all manner of antique dealers, art galleries and quirky gift shops. Or, for a more contemporary Austin shopping experience, check out the burgeoning SoCo (South of Congress) area, where you'll find hip boutiques and fashionable cafes. -- Kim Goodin, 10Best Editor
