I'm just across from the Dobie Mall, and I'm right outside of Saint Austin's Catholic Church. And just taking a look at the parking set up out here. So, um, we've got uh several open curbside parking spots, but I noticed that with mass going on this morning at Saint Austin's, they do actually have them signed off as a drop off and pickup points for parishioners going to Saint Austin's. Looks like uh. We've got the 8:45 mass going on now, and then there'll be a break until 11:30 a.m. Mass. And I'm walking north now. Up the Drag And he's a Look at the front of Saint Austin's.
