Looking Back: When The Drag Wasn't Such a Drag

Today's Wayback Wednesday takes a look back at Guadalupe Street, before it was awash in the glow of stop lights and rush hour brake lights.

As KUT's Terrence Henry , the city's looking to clean up the oft-congested roadway in a project that, once it's finalized, will likely take years to complete. Above is a photo retrospective of "The Drag," collecting images from its earliest days as UT-Austin's main thoroughfare � before the iconic UT Tower had even been built � to the heady days of the 1970s, with images courtesy of the Austin History Center.
