New Austin reflected in the windows of an Austin Icon that just shuttered yesterday. @threadgills downtown is now closed and there are all kinds of rumors about where owner Eddie Wilson will go from here. The original will stay open. This picture seems kind of foreboding to me now. Have you heard of or eaten at #threadgills? I used to love their chicken fried steak (pictured if you swipe left) when it was so big that it covered the whole plate and then some with this delectable flaky light crust. The one I had last year was sadly lacking. It’s sad to see another Austin icon of the last 20 years go. I’m looking forward to seeing what pops up there next. Hooters is being replaced by a high rise as well. Before the last decade, height ordinances kept the high-rises and developers at bay. Now that those ordinances have been swept out by a city counsel that is seeking price the sky revenues, many of the places that made Austin unique from other cities are being smashed out by rising taxes because they are forced to pay for the unused air about their establishments rather than being grandfathered in. Sometimes I am quite a bit the #lorax. Although my soul hurts to see some businesses fold, I realize that embracing the future is a lot more fun and interesting than being mad about all you young wippersnappers. #ficklefact: Eddie Wilson, the owner of Threadgill’s, has a daughter who played the trusty side kick of #xenathewarriorprincess, Gabrielle. How do you feel about the changing scene in Austin? Do you think it should stay iconic or should we just tear it all down and call it progress? #fickleatx . . . . . . #trueaustin #oldaustin #austinicon #austin #austinmusic #austinhistory #historicaustin #texas #texasblogger #austinblogger #atx #atxeats (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8eUyhF5fQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=119wtb60t7gc6
