🇺🇸 Why Are There Zombies on Austin’s West 6th Street?! 😅😅

Okay, maybe I’m being slightly dramatic with the title… but hear me out! Last night on West 6th Street, our group of two guys and three girls had the weirdest walk ever. It felt like we’d stumbled into some bizarre zombie apocalypse movie. Here’s the rundown: 🧟 First encounter: A dude walking exactly like a Plants vs. Zombies character (you know, that stiff, lurching gait) started yelling racist stuff at us, telling us to "get out." Charming, right? 🧟 Then came the sequel: Another guy—same undead shuffle, arms dangling weirdly—approached us every few steps, muttering nonsense. The way these people moved was next-level creepy. Imagine a mix of horror movie extras and sleepwalkers on energy drinks. Why West 6th Gets Like This: Nightlife chaos: Bars spill out rowdy crowds, but after midnight, the vibe shifts. Homelessness issues: Some folks are in rough shape (mental health/drug problems = unsettling behavior). "Keep Austin Weird" gone wrong? This wasn’t the fun, quirky weird—just straight-up unnerving. Survival Tips for West 6th: ✔ Stick to groups (safety in numbers!) ✔ Daytime > nighttime (unless you’re bar-hopping with a crowd) ✔ Uber/Lyft if you’re feeling sketched out (we should’ve done this!) 📍 Context: West 6th is Austin’s party hub, but after dark, it’s a mixed bag of drunks, street performers, and… well, zombie impersonators, apparently. #Austin #West6thStreet #TexasTravel #WeirdAustin #NightmareFuel #StudyAbroadProblems #USATravel
