"Whip It" is what you must do when a problem comes along. It is also the name of a movie about roller derby chicks and whatnot and it brings us to today's "On Location."
Here's a scene where Juno/Kitty Pryde/Whip It Girl gets off a bus in Austin. The location is on South Congress Avenue near Elizabeth Street and has some of the the Wacky Austin Shops™ in the background.
The most recognizable shop is Lucy in Disguise With Diamonds costume shop/clothing store/Wacky Austin Shop™. As you may have noticed, it has a great big Carmen Miranda Zebra on the roof.
You can see downtown Austin in the background. Apparently a giant skyscraper was built after the filming of the movie but the rest of the skyline is relatively the same. You can see the Capitol Building in the middle.
Austin and the surrounding area have had plenty of films shot there (like Office Space) so hopefully I'll stumble across a few more while I'm down here.
