A Downtown Austin alleyway along Red River known to attract crime will be getting a physical barrier to keep people out of it. On Wednesday, city staff with the Economic Development Department presented the Downtown Commission with some of the complaints about the alley from business owners. The city is now searching for a contractor to put up a fence that’s “at least 10 feet” high at the front end of the alley way along Red River and at the back end along Waller Creek... “That alleyway needs to be shut down, it should have been shut down over five years ago when we started complaining about it

If pelvis says that fences are immoral, what does that say about her with her fenced compound.

That’s a medieval solution. I thought Austin was woke.

Why do they call it Red River? That is quite a ways to the north.

I saw a bumper sticker on a dualities pickup this week that read : “Californians go back home.”
On the other side was one that read: “TRUMP 2020”.

Austin has the Red River District, but I don’t remember a Red River there. I’m not sure the creeks in Austin are nearby.

There has to be a FReeper who knows.

“DFW is getting more “Austinized” with each passing day.”

That is truly sad! And unfortunately, you’l probably find the “Austinizing process” at work in Houston and San Antonio as well. And every POS “Mexican” illegal we allow into our country to take root and breed like a rabbit, only further insures the ultimate collapse of America as it was established by its Constitution. Let us all pray that Ruthie Is actually going to die!, ditto for Breyer and Sotomayor as well.
And I am sorry if that offends some of you BACs, but you need to consider quitting turning the other cheek or risk loosing your ability to practice your faith to the government that’s coming unless Trump prevails.

It’s just the name of the street. Just like every city has a MLK street when he never lived there. Lots of Peach streets when there was never a peach tree anywhere around.

Sure, there’s some VERY nice areas. Mansions of very wealthy CEOs and celebs. Then there’s east of I-35 but it’s being... oh, that nasty word libs hate... gentrified. And being gentrified by those same libs. Sort of like their opinion of the wall, huh. Hypocrites.

I believe I stayed at a Baymont not far from the airport. Haven’t talked to this guy in a long, long time. I looked him up and saw he’s still in Austin.

Austin, the uber liberal blue blight on the Great State of Texas. But, but walls don’t work!!!

I think of Austin as the hemmoroid on the butt &%@& of Texas. NO WALLS for you until you support a wall for the rest of the country!!!!

If they want to be San Fran, they should start crapping on sidewalks and leaving used needles lying around.

What’s Austin’s theme song, “Don’t Fence Me In”? How’s that working for you all?
