Spring Break Lull. Quiet Sunday at UT Austin's Empty Streets amid Spring Break Lull

Hey y'all, this is Gary checking in from the drag at the University of Texas. It's Sunday morning, at 9:50 a.m. It's March 23rd, and coincidentally I'm checking in from 23rd Street, uh, this. site here with these beautiful murals uh once hosted the thriving um Renaissance art and crafts market. Uh, I think it started in the 1970s quite organically, and then it was sort of formalized, I think in the 80s, and this intersection was actually closed off to traffic at that point. So it's a nice little pedestrianized square. Occasionally you'll still see vendors popping up here, but uh, not so much today. It's the last day of spring break, obviously. Uh, you're going to start to see campus repopulate over the next 24 hours and this this section of the drag will be a sea of humanity again. But for now, very quiet, minimal pedestrian traffic. A few folks out getting breakfast, a few folks who've been to church, um, traffic on the drag is light. I notice there are even a few available pull up parking spots here. Uh, so that's your view from the drag on a cloudy Sunday morning, March 23rd. Hey y'all, it's Gary checking in from the drag at the University of Texas. It's Sunday morning 9:57 a.m. It's March 23rd. Just walking north up the drag, uh, coming up towards the intersection of 24th. As the sun breaks through the clouds. Uh, we got the CVS on one side and the United Methodist Church on the other, uh, United Methodist. Church has an 11 a.m. Service, you'll often see a police officer assisting parishioners cross over Guadalupe from the surface parking lot on the west side. So I don't see that in place yet. So traffic is still flowing freely along the drag, and that's your view Sunday morning, March 23rd.
