I remember this story. So sad that Austin keeps losing parts of its history. Bless Charlie for her hard work. Thank you for sharing this piece again. 💙📚🎶
The Ark had bottles of beer in 1983-84(when I lived there). People started removing the bottle caps and pouring the beer into cups. We started adding empties between every bottle. We had a couple musicians there, including Danny Barnes(seemed like he spent most waking hours playing banjo).
I believe McHone was involved with College House and lived next store in a Victorian house that no longer exists.
I don't like new things either!
You reference the Statesman, then refer to making an impression at a "newspaper." Are you saying the almost daily was once a newspaper?

I loved those Wilson street cottages as well as some of those other houses down there. had some great memories and jams in the early 2000s.
gotta say, ol’ Charlie has some serious chutzpah editing yer piece like that that. who does that?
the Piranha, that’s who…
Great and timely and sad. Editing impeccable. Fact checking, meh. It was longnecks that came out of the machine at the Ark. Two bits each.
