Friends is on Sixth Street Austin – 6th Street Trivia
Sixth Street is a bustling and interesting historic street and entertainment district in Austin, Texas USA. Sixth (or 6th)Street was formerly named Pecan Street under the city’s previous naming convention, which had east-west streets named after trees and north-south streets named after Texas rivers. The latter convention still remains in place. Take a walk and learn the Texas rivers along the way!
6th St. is home to a variety of annual events including: South by Southwest, The Republic of Texas Biker Rally and The Pecan Street Festival. On Fridays and Saturdays the city closes the streets to vehicular traffic allowing for a safe and fun walkable environment for all to enjoy.
