I Heart the Dillo, and You Should, Too.

Austin Dillo
Austin Dillo

Free ‘Dillo service (the trolley-like buses downtown) is getting a make-over.  With a lot of work by the city and cap metro and with heavy input from your representatives at DANA (the Downtown Austin neighborhood Association), the ‘Dillo map has  been simplified into an easy to remember North/South, East/West route with a greater frequency of buses (every 5 minutes during the week) that is expected to make the service more convenient for every day riders and casual users trying to get around town.

If you want this phenomenal service to continue, I recommend using it and using it often.

BTW – my favorite route?  It’s the one that goes from 5th and Red River to Whole Foods back to 5th and Red River.  HOW COOL IS THAT?

You can download or print the new map here:

If you were a regular user of the service and want to know how your commute
has been impacted, Cap Metro has posted additional information here:

Paramount Theater's Summer Film Series

Jude Galligan | June 4, 2008 |

From the Austinist… “Summer is here, and as the mercury continues to rise, many will seek shelter in the icy coolness of movie theaters. The Paramount Theater has been keeping people cool while exposing their eyeballs to quality cinema for over ninety years. So what could be better than to chill out with some classic film?”

The music lineup for one of Austin’s biggest events was announced. From the Austinist, “This morning, Austin City Limits Festival

like Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Spiritualized, Foo Fighters,
Beck and Manu Chao, is notable this year thanks to its extremely strong
middle section (the “heat of the day” section, as we like to call it)

Denim.”
