Next Stop: Artist's Market and Drag Shops

If you're hankering for some burnt orange memorabilia, stop by the Co-Op.

Once you’re back at Guadalupe, make a right and continue down the Drag. You’ll spot students walking to and from class and you’ll see the University Co-op on your left, which sells every type of UT memorabilia imaginable. The Renaissance Artist’s Market will be on your left just before the Jamba Juice, where you can find hand-made clothes, jewelry, and crafts for sale most days. You’ll see a variety of unique shops and restaurants on the left side of the street. If you feel like exploring, park the car (if you can't find a meter, there's a pay lot just north of Dean Keaton, and a pay parking garage behind it) and walk down the Drag.
