Prime Retail Therapy in Austin
By Will Furgeson and Marshall Hill, Local Experts, Austin
Shopaholics will be pleased with what they find in the Austinshopping 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. The 2nd Street District is lined with all manner of jewelry stores, art galleries and quirky gift shops. Or, for a more contemporary Austin experience, check out the expansive shopping area, The Doman, where you'll find the major retailers, but also many hip boutiques and fashionable cafes.
