anniversary celebration

The "For Sale" signs hanging on the Austin Lyric Opera's headquarters on Barton Springs Road make it awkward to discuss the group's 25th anniversary, which will be celebrated Saturday with the opening of "The Magic Flute," the Mozart opera that marked the beginning of the company in 1986.

Voices of the Violet Crown (www.violetcrownvoices.com) features a new blog post about Crestview Minimax IGA and the Prellop family, in honor of the store's 58th anniversary celebration on Saturday, August 20.

You can check out video clips of Ronnie Prellop talking about the store, the neighborhood, and his years as a country musician in Austin.

There's also a link to audio clips of Ronnie's music.

Congratulations to the Prellop family and Crestview Minimax IGA for 58 years of service to our neighborhood!
