"The Drag"

By Jacci Howard Bear, About.com

Definition: A portion of Guadalupe that runs along the western edge of the University of Texas campus is known as The Drag. Although more mainstream than earlier years it is traditionally home to underground bookstores, tattoo parlors, and other eclectic shops.

Along The Drag, commercial businesses (and churches too) are found primarily on the west side of the street with campus buildings on the east side.

Also Known As: Guadalupe Street
