Southpark Meadows used to be the large track of acreage way out in south Austin where we would go see big name concerts. Off the top of my head I remember seeing the Dave Matthews Band, Rage Against the Machine and Pearl Jam there some 15 years ago.
Now it’s a concrete jungle strip mall. Wal-Mart, Target, PetsMart, a store dedicated exclusively to popcorn, among thousands of other retail chain outlets.
Here is a Haiku I wrote about today’s Southpark Meadows:
Southpark Meadows is
a place for you to consume
things. All of your things.
Ah, sweet memories! You know you’re getting older when you see seemingly permanent things change.
