Saving East Austin’s Soul Before It’s Gone

About this episode

The episode discusses efforts to preserve the historic character of East Austin amidst development pressures.

East Austin’s historic soul is on the line—and city officials are racing to save it. A major new survey aims to document the neighborhoods east of I-35 before they’re erased by development, spotlighting buildings built before 1983 and the untold stories that define them. This isn’t just about preservation—it’s about securing landmark status and National Register eligibility, while inviting residents to share memories that official records miss. The goal? To build a future that honors the past, brick by brick, story by story. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
