Golden Apple Studio's

Shane is an excellent artist. He's very nice, helpful and he actually cares about and loves what he does. I just had the outlines of some tulips done on my chest and he did a wonderful job. He has really good ideas and is happy to sketch whatever you want :)

Goodwill Industries

I've never been a big fan of Goodwill. Their prices aren't that great for being old used and often dirty crap. I can buy many things new for cheaper. Lots of items for sale are soiled and gross. They aren't organized really and I've never come across a friendly, helpful associate. There are much better charitys and thrift stores out there. Skip out on this. One good thing- after Halloween the costumes and what not are way cheap.

PROS: halloween stuff is alright
CONS: many!

Ross Dress For Less

I <3 Ross! They have a large assortment of all different types of clothes for really good prices. Many name brands if you need those but lots of other whatever brand. They have tons of cute girlie clothes. Mostly shirts. They have a nice selection of cute panties and all sorts of household stuff. This is my favorite location out of the bunch.

PROS: great prices, better sales, wide selection
CONS: a little messy

Smokey Mos Bbq

Went here for the first time today just cuz I saw it and BBQ sounded good. It was! Got sausage and brisket. Very tasty. Their BBQ sauce is also yummy. Potato salad is decent and the green beans were good. Price is decent for BBQ. Worth going back to.

PROS:
CONS: No Austin locations

Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing

My last tattoo I got from Paco. I went in with my idea and he sat and worked with me until I absolutely loved the design. He was very patient and helpful and HONEST. My friend and I went in kind of late on a Tuesday night and he worked with both of us way after the shop closed. Atomic is an all around great tattoo shop and is trustworthy in Austin.

PROS: clean, sterile, friendly
CONS:

Rave

Cheap clothes! Cheap as in price as well as cheap quality. A lot of clothes I've purchased from Rave fall apart easily. I still like to shop there because the prices are so cheap. Lots of times I can get simple work shirts for $5 in any color. I like the selection of colors they have. They also have really cute panties for cheap as well as a nice selection of pajamas.

PROS: good prices
CONS: poor quality

Pac Sun

Some of my oldest clothes I've purchased from PacSun and they are still in great condition. All my favorite pants I've gotten from there. They are really comfortable as well as awesome. I hate jeans and they offer a good selection of pants. Since it's in the mall it can be expensive but their sale items come at good prices and even if it's not on sale it's still a worth while purchase because the quality is nice.

PROS: conveniant, wide selection, comfortable
CONS:

Precision Tune Auto Care

The story is long about what a bad place Precision Tune is but the main problem I had was the manager reffered me somewhere that would give me an inspection sticker no matter what. I had problems with my master cylinders and it was a safety issue. I couldn't get my inspection sticker due to this and the manager told me a different place to go to get my sticker. I was not concerned about getting my sticker as much as I was getting my car in a safe driving condition.

PROS:
CONS: liars, dishonest, rude

Romano's MacAroni Grill

Probably my favorite thing about the Macaroni Grill is their bread. It's fresh hot out the oven and you can dip it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I always end up filling up on the bread becuase it's just too delicious! All their food and desserts are wonderful also.

Fuddruckers

I am a big fan of the piping hot liquid cheese. Mmmmm. Everything here is always good and fresh. You get your burger cooked exactly like you want it and you can put exactly what you want on it. I usually just get the kids cheeseburger cuz it comes with a drink, fries and a free cookie! Their burgers are HUGE so the chidrens size is just right :o)

PROS: fresh
CONS:
