City Cast Austin

Places Worth Protecting in a Changing Austin

Listen Later

If you’ve lived here long enough, you’ve experienced the loss of your favorite bar/restaurant/coffee shop/corner store closing, only to be replaced with something substantially less cool. Why does it feel like things in this old city —  it was founded in 1837, then called “Waterloo” — are constantly in a state of change? Is it absolutely necessary for Austin to tear down the old to make way for the new? Preservation Austin’s Meghan King joins host Nikki DaVaughn to discuss how we’re trying to honor the past while planning for the future.
