More historical markers we'd like to see
Jovita's, Skyline and Momo's were three venues worth remembering
Historical Markers: 11th Door, Chicago House, Henry’s Bar & Grill

remember going in Jovita’s more than once totally unaware of the business on site that got them shut down right ?But I sure liked that venue :)
The Skyline was before my time here in Austin, but many fine memories from Jovita's and Momo's. It certainly was a shock when Jovita's was exposed as the front for a drug dealing operation. And Nate Paul ( grrrrrrrrr! ) still makes my blood boil for his malevolent path of acquisition and destruction of music venues. But he was just an accelerant to the economic flames ignited by soaring rents and soulless development.
