Ah, strip malls! Boon to bull & bear and bane to aesthetes. Since this one was already full of things we really like (Ray Hennig's Heart of Texas, Lamar Plaza Drugs, the drive-thru Thundercloud Subs, Let's Dish, Big Bertha's, and more), since the grocery store was renovated into a decent little Cutrer's City Market, and since new tenants Treasured Tracs & Images and Asylum Books arrived on the scene, saving that part of South Austin from more newfangled chain-marts, we had to give Lamar Plaza thumbs up. This most classic of strip centers shows that folks down on South Lamar still have their prioriities straight - even when it comes to strip malls.
