Emmett Shelton Sr. (1905-2000) was born and lived in on West Live Oak in South Austin, roughly 100 years ago. He tells colorful stories about life in the early 1900s on the streets of South Austin.
This episode focuses on the West side of Congress Ave. Landmarks include the Lone Oak Gas Station at the South edge of town; Feuds over the Gravel Pits on the floodplain banks of the Colorado; and the Deaf School. Stories of the first alligator in town and my coon trade. If you had family in the area, their name is likely mentioned.
Emmett recorded these stories in the late 1970s for the enlightenment and enjoyment of the future Austin generations. Enjoy!
