Popular Rainey Street bungalows and one food truck could be replaced by apartment highrise
28 October
Rainey Street Residences is a 48-story, 409-unit apartment complex proposed at the corner of Rainey and River streets.
Two original Rainey Street bungalows, home to longtime bars Craft Pride and Javelina, could be replaced by a proposed 48-floor apartment complex.
<p><a href="http://www.javelinabar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Javelina</a> and <a href="https://craftprideaustin.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Craft Pride</a> opened next door to each other in 2012 and 2013, respectively, representing two of the longest-tenured establishments since Rainey Street became an entertainment district in the mid-2000s.</p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><iframe allowfullscreen="" aria-hidden="false" frameborder="0" height="450" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3446.2683630518145!2d-97.74108468487987!3d30.25793398180524!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x8644b5abccc73fd9%3A0x40c34bd76f2366b4!2sCraft%20Pride!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1603893974354!5m2!1sen!2sus" style="border:0;" tabindex="0" width="600"></iframe></div><p>The Design Commission voted Monday to support concept plans for <a href="http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=349133" target="_blank">River Street Residences</a>, a proposed 409-unit apartment complex, but not before some commissioners raised concerns about replacing two of the most-established bars at the south gateway of Rainey Street.<br/></p><p>"People see it as a bonafide nightlife district, they see it as someplace special in Austin," Commissioner Beau Frail said during the Monday meeting. "There is a very large contingent of the city that will see this project as another nail in the coffin of Rainey Street."</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<small class="image-media media-caption" placeholder="Add Photo Caption..." spellcheck="false">An apartment highrise is proposed at the current location of Craft Pride.</small><small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit...">(Flickr)</small></p><p>While there has been plenty of business turnover on Rainey Street during the past decade, this situation most mirrors a similar scenario from 2014. That is when Lustre Pearl—one of the first bars to open on Rainey Street—<a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/blog/real-estate/2014/03/lustre-pearls-closure-signals-start-of-rainey.html" target="_blank">was displaced from the Driskill Street corner</a> to make room for Millennium Rainey residential project, now called <a href="https://www.camdenliving.com/austin-tx-apartments/camden-rainey-street/apartments" target="_blank">Camden Rainey Street Apartments</a>. That original bungalow was relocated to establish Lustre Pearl's East Austin location, and a second location opened <a href="https://austin.eater.com/2016/3/2/11147198/lustre-pearl-rainey-open-march-bridget-dunlap" target="_blank">across Rainey Street in 2016</a>. That same apartment project also caused another popular Rainey Street bar called White House to close for good.<br/></p><p>Ultimately, Frail and most other design commissioners voted to support the River Street Residences project as long as project developers promised to open up the ground-floor commercial space facing Rainey Street. Chair David Caroll cast the lone "nay" vote against the Design Commission recommendation.</p>

</p>
<p>The project next advances to the Planning Commission and eventually City Council for full approval. Exact dates have not been confirmed by city officials before deadline.<br/></p><p>Attempts to reach Craft Pride and Javelina ownership were also not successful, but River Street Residences representatives said during the Design Commission meeting Monday that current property occupants are kept up-to-date on the project.</p><p><strong>Another potential displacement</strong><br/></p><p><a href="https://www.via313.com/" target="_blank">Via 313</a>, which relocated its second-ever food truck from South Austin to Craft Pride in 2013, would also be displaced if the River Street Residences project is approved by the city. Co-owner Brandon Hunt said he heard rumors that Craft Pride and Via 313 could find a new home in the completed skyscraper, but that is just speculation for now.</p><p>Via 313 has had major success in Austin since opening a single food trailer in 2011. After expanding to five locations throughout the years, the food establishment announced this year it is taking its Detroit-style pizza to the national level. </p><p>"If not for that trailer on Rainey Street, maybe they wouldn't be going national today," Commissioner Samuel Franco speculated during the Monday meeting. He worried about the next Via 313 not having the same odds of success without an affordable spot in a heavily trafficked nightlife district.</p><p>The spot certainly was affordable—free, in fact, minus utility costs, according to Hunt. Via 313 couldn't have opened its first brick-and-mortar location in Oak Hill without success at Rainey Street as well as its first location at Violet Crown Social Club in East Austin, he said.</p><p>But the Rainey Street location ultimately did not even factor in the valuation <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/savory-invests-in-via-313-pizzeria-to-propel-new-growth-301151071.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">when Via 313 recently received investor support</a> to expand nationally, Hunt said. Instead, the value of that spot should be weighed culturally, he said, similar to how Torchy's Tacos kept operating its original South 1st Street trailer long after the chain expanded beyond Austin.</p><p>Via 313 has kept the Rainey Street location open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and Craft Pride reopened last Tuesday. Nonetheless, Hunt said that Rainey foot traffic is roughly half of what it once was. </p><p>"It's been a battle for sure," he said. "It's slowly getting back to normal down there as far as traffic goes."</p><p>The culture of the street has also changed over the years as more highrise projects enter the entertainment district, Hunt said. He points to the apartment project that displaced the original Lustre Pearl and 70 Rainey, a 34-story condo tower that opened last year, as the main examples.</p><p>"I can't complain too much because before we were there, there were people who felt disrespected and displaced," Hunt said, referring to <a href="https://austin.towers.net/discover-a-different-rainey-street-in-this-unearthed-1981-documentary/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rainey's original Latino roots</a> before the neighborhood was rezoned for downtown-level density, making it into what it is today. "It seems like the natural evolution of that area."</p>

The future of Hancock Golf Course in Central Austin has drawn strong neighborhood interest.
Two virtual community meetings scheduled Monday and Thursday about the future of Hancock Golf Course have been canceled because too many people signed up to attend.
<p>The city-led meetings were originally scheduled to allow nearby Austin residents the chance to share their desired operational goals for <a href="https://www.austintexas.gov/department/hancock-golf-course-planning" target="_blank">Hancock Golf Course</a>, located in Central Austin about a mile north of The University of Texas campus.</p><p>"It's a crown jewel of open space in Austin," said Hugh Bender, president of Hancock Neighborhood Association. "Especially in Central Austin with Waterloo Park under renovations."</p><p>But at least 185 people—as of Monday morning—had signed up to attend both meetings, which originally started off as phone calls but were later turned into Zoom meetings, according to Bender. The city ultimately chose to cancel the meetings by early Monday afternoon because "the large group sizes would significantly limit dialogue opportunities for attendees in the online format."</p><p>"[The city of Austin Parks and Recreation Department] will be adding additional options for participation, focusing on small group meetings," the city statement read. "[The city] will reach out to neighborhood and community groups to schedule online meetings regarding the course operation proposal."</p><p>The golf course has been reportedly losing the city $115,000 per year from the general fund, and the city is considering enlisting a private operator to offset the cost of the nine-hole facility. That is one of three options for Hancock Golf Course recommended in a <a href="http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/NGF_Final_Austin_Report.pdf" target="_blank">2019 report commissioned by the city</a>:</p><ul class="ee-ul"><li>Passive park: stop golf operations and convert to open space</li><li>Modify the space: Invest $1.2M-$1.6M to transform course into city-operated golf learning center</li><li>Private contractor: Enter into public-private partnership with private group to run and improve golf course</li></ul><p>"Due to the initial costs of developing and maintaining a passive park or renovating the course, [the city] is moving forward with the third suggestion," the city website states. </p><p>The Hancock Neighborhood neighborhood Association hosted city parks officials back in February to initially discuss the proposals.</p><p>"[The city parks department] at that meeting got an eye-opener that people like it the way it is," Bender said. "And then a movement grew from that meeting to have open space—just convert it. It doesn't have to have soccer fields or anything."</p><p>The open space proposal has continued to gain support from neighborhood residents, Bender said. Such an idea may be gaining momentum <a href="https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Parks/Golf/Hancock%20Golf%20Course%20Meeting%20presentation%20FINAL%20shared.pdf" target="_blank">based on the city's presentation</a> it intended to deliver this week. The slideshow suggests a long-term "hybrid model" of golf and parks elements at Hancock Golf Course. </p><p>"Even with golf, passive park space is possible," the presentation states. </p><p>The community members have used the golf course during COVID-19 quarantine measures as a safe community meeting spot. Residents will have a chance to provide their feedback to the city at a series of yet-to-be-scheduled community group meetings. There will also be a new survey as part of the public feedback process, according to the city. </p><p><span></span>The smaller meetings may ultimately prove more beneficial in providing that feedback than the virtual meetings scheduled this week, Bender said.</p><p> "Given the immense interest, it's probably good just to circle the wagons and see if there's a better way," he said.</p>

There's something deliciously creepy and thrilling about metaphysical events that defy explanation, but I also love stories with a strong historical narrative. Austin's best-known haunted bars fit this description perfectly.

The Zilker Holiday Tree will adorn the park yet again this holiday season near the site of this year's first drive-thru Trail of Lights.
<p>The tree will be installed on Oct. 23 but won't be lit until Nov. 29 at 6 p.m., during the first-ever virtual lighting ceremony for its 54th anniversary. Additionally, Zilker Park closures will begin Oct. 30 to make room for the 2020 <a href="https://austintrailoflights.org/" target="_blank">Trail of Lights</a> holiday event.</p><p>While the Trail of Lights will be held in a drive-thru capacity, the City of Austin has yet to announce whether or not the Zilker Holiday Tree will be available for in-person viewing. A decision should be decided in the coming months after assessing the state of the pandemic.</p><p>The installation of the tree will transform the Zilker moontower, one of 15 remaining moontowers in Austin, with 39 strings of lights. The tree is the largest man-made tree on display and stands 155 feet tall, encompassing the moontower. This year, the tree will use all LED bulbs, which last longer and consume less electricity.</p><p>The Zilker Holiday Tree will be on display from Nov. 29 through Jan. 1 from 6 p.m. to midnight every night. The lighting ceremony will be streamed on ATXN Channel 6 and on social media channels of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AustinCityParks" target="_blank">Austin Parks and Recreation Department</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/austintexasgov" target="_blank">City of Austin</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/austinenergy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Austin Ener</a>gy.</p><p>And while the Trail of Lights opens Nov. 28 through Jan. 3 as a drive thru, the impact to Zilker Park is similar to past years. </p><div class="rm-embed embed-media"><iframe height="480" src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1TL6nArawnK34GHLVgtKL2bvQY13AZ-iF" width="640"></iframe></div><p>Starting Oct. 30, the city will close Lou Neff Road—the road that circles the park grounds where the Trail of Lights and Austin City Limits Music Festival occurs. The 45-acre off-leash Great Lawn will remain open, however, through Nov. 8, according to a map provided by the city. Alternative parking sites have been identified for those still hoping to use the green space.<br/></p><p>Starting Nov. 9, roughly half of the Great Lawn portion of Zilker Park will close to allow Trail of Lights event organizers to start setting up. Additionally, Rollingwood Drive just west of MoPac will restrict traffic to only allow neighborhood residents each evening from 5-11 p.m. Stratford Drive near Lady Bird Lake will also close to all through traffic each night starting Nov. 9.</p><p>The map outlines the complicated routes motorists must take to access the event, showing option for both northbound and southbound motorists on MoPac. Essentially, attendees are directed down Lake Austin Boulevard and past Red Bud Isle before circling back toward Zilker Park.</p><p>The partial park closure runs through Jan. 10, allowing event organizers almost a week to deconstruct the Winter Wonderland, including all 2 million lights, 90 lighted holiday trees and 70-plus other holiday displays. That means Zilker Park will have limited access for little more than two months.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>More on the Trail of Lights:</strong></p>
