It’s important to respect your elders, which is why we here at the Chronicle – a 44-year-old institution – affectionately doff our cap to the still-spry Wheatsville, which celebrates its 49th anniversary this weekend. The cooperatively owned community grocery will mark the occasion at its South Lamar store with live music by Josh Foss from 11am-12:30pm, a “special announcement” at 12:45pm (intriguing!), and a store tour at 1:30pm, plus free treats and $5 popcorn tofu po’boys, the sammy the Chronicle found so addictive we gave it a Best of Austin award in 2009 for being the “Tastiest Riff on Nawlins, Vegan-Style.” Taste the legend and toast the co-op from 11am-4pm. – Kimberley Jones
