Not so much a word as a symbol, and yet, a symbol of what? Of the letter U? Of the shoe on a well-heeled horse? Of a famous Austin, Texas landmark? Whatever you think this is, name it! ♣

Thanks to A-Z Challenge for the inspiration to share this image from my Vanishing Austin collection, with apologies to Johnny Cash and his Girl Named Sue

About my Vanishing Austin series: While many Austin landmarks are lost, many are survivors still. Admire them all in a slideshow, HERE. Prints start at $35.

You can marvel at what’s lost and what’s survived in my Endangered Species of Austin poster, featuring 16 Austin icons, and sized at a handsomely large 24 x 36,” available for $25, HERE.
