"I’m pleased to announce that Balcones Books will be reopening this Friday (5/1) at 10am. Regular business hours will resume:

Tuesday-Saturday: 10am-6pm

Closed: Sunday/Monday.

It will be tough not seeing my dad at the store anymore but I’m so grateful for all the time we got to spend together. He had always wanted to open a used bookstore when he retired from his law practice. The past four years have been incredible (except the past three months) and I can’t wait to get back to books!

Thanks for all the love and support. Hope to see you guys soon!

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
