About this audio guide
This guide to Jo's Coffee on South Congress in Austin turns on one private message: a spray-painted line the musician Amy Cook left on the shop's blank side wall in twenty ten, meant only for her then-girlfriend, Liz Lambert, who ran the coffee stand and the hotel next door. It follows what happened once strangers found it, from the first passersby with cameras to the wall's later run-ins with a paint roller. Best heard standing at the corner, facing the wall itself.
