AUSTIN, Texas — One Austin resident's Halloween decorations are hitting a little too close to home by remembering local businesses that are no longer operating.
A resident in the Crestview neighborhood, located in North Austin, has a more unique and creative twist to Halloween decorations this year. Instead of normal skeletons, they opted to put skeletons from Austin's own closet on display.
Many favorite local businesses that have left Austin's ZIP codes are included on the gravestones in the resident's yard. Included on the gravestones are Lucy in Disguise, La Mexicana Bakery, Capital City Comedy, the old downtown Alamo Drafthouse and more.
The businesses that are featured have left Austin due to a variety of reasons, but most social media users have credited their closures to the city's rapidly growing population and rising rent costs.
Additionally, one of the gravestones is dedicated exclusively to beloved people from Austin. Two of the names residents will recognize are former Gov. Ann Richards and rock icon Janis Joplin.
This graveyard display has gone viral on Reddit and is sure to spook your skeleton out as well.
