I was so honored to be a part of the Oak Cliff Art Walk this past weekend. Major kudos to Haley with and Reyna from Cima Arts - displaying work from 300 artists is a major undertaking, and it was a great event. I so admire the work they’re doing to support artists in Dallas!

Sam’s BBQ in east Austin is holding on in the face of rampant gentrification. If you Google Sam’s bbq there is a great Texas Monthly article about the family business. From another article - “I’ve got love for this community,” he told KXAN in 2019. “If you’ve been in business 43 years in the community, you gotta love that community because they have supported you for years. You can’t just give up on them. You can’t just walk out on them.” Preservation is about more than just architecture!

On Ross Ave. This actually had a pretty good antique store in it until not too long ago. I’ll share the building in a separate post next.
