Sadly, this African-American landmark has fallen into a state of serious disrepair. This old church…read moresits on an acre more or less just a couple blocks away from S. Lamar Blvd. It is surrounded on all sides by both new and old housing along with apartments. The church itself is boarded up and looks abandoned. Despite a new metal fence in front, the structure itself is in decay and surrounded by overgrowth. I'm sure there are many black Americans buried here, however, it is most likely they just had wooden markers which decayed away. After walking the grounds, I could only find three head stones which are pictured below. At least there is a historical sign in front of the property pictured below which adds more insight.

The OG recipe had more hatch chiles but it's a huge improvement from whatever queso dark ages we were in when they gave us Beer Queso. I also tried their interim new recipe after Been Queso that was spawned out of the same failed idea. Now with this new "original recipe", the queso is decent. It's not spectacular like the old one that would motivate me to come watch a movie just to order it. This new "original" recipe is good enough to order if you're otherwise there. Not good enough to justify coming in for a movie like the old one. (I have the season pass and I kid you not, I used to go in to have dinner and watch a movie and order burger and queso. Now I don't go in to do that but I will order the queso when I'm there. Like I said, it's tasty and decent.) Bathrooms are still consistently gross with several toilets clogged with human waste so you have to look into 3-5 stalls before you find one without floating human waste. Staff is always friendly though so that helps offset the gross bathrooms, I guess.

The "I Love You So Much" mural is one of Austin's most photographed and widely recognized pieces of street art. It is located on the side of Jo's Coffee at 1300 South Congress Avenue in the city's South Congress neighborhood. The mural features a simple message, "I love you so much", painted in red cursive letters on a light green wall. The mural has become a symbol of love we have for each other, connection to each other as well as the connection to the city, and Austin's love for all. The mural was created in 2010 by Amy Cook, a local Austin musician. According to the word on the streets, Cook spray painted the message as a heartfelt expression of love for her partner, Liz Lambert, who is affiliated with Jo's Coffee. Now this sign serves a love note to all that visit Austin.
