An outdoor sign for Shady Grove, a well-known spot in Austin, Texas. The sign has a rustic, retro vibe with the words 'Shady Grove' prominently displayed in neon letters. The text is styled with a rope design that adds a touch of western flair. Above the name, a smaller sign reads 'HAMBURGERS' in bold, glowing letters. Below, an arrow points to the right with the phrase 'STOP-A-WHILE' in faded neon. The sign is mounted on a weathered metal frame, with lush green trees in the background.

Some are waving their arms and smiling with excitement, creating a joyful, relaxed atmosphere. The people are dressed in colorful, casual summer outfits, with one person wearing a vibrant tropical shirt and another in a graphic tee that reads 'Your Hole is My Goal.' In the foreground, there is a pool with shimmering water.
