Another Giovanni's is some of the best pizza in town (that's not a restaurant). Tucked in a corner of the Barton Hills Food Mart on So Lamar. The chef from the old Mezzaluna downtown. He's been in the food mart for a long time, barely enough room for his ovens and a couple of staff. But some amazing pizza.

August 21Aug 21 Holy shit, we did a family birthday dinner last week, and the kid wanted to go to JoAnn's. Fortunately they were booked, because those prices are nutso. We ended up at El Meson, which was fine.

Man, I know there's some hate for the place but stick me at Guero's on the front patio with 3-4 chico tacos al pastor, some chips and queso and a Pacifico and I'm good. Move me to the oak garden with music and I'm good there, too.

And I say good for them.
August 21Aug 21 Yeah, I have a soft spot for Guero's. I lived within short walking distance when they moved to that spot, and we had been going to the Oltorf location for years before that. I suppose it's gone downhill, I haven't eaten there much in years, but it's still a cool location and building with a lot of history for me. Tell me their margs are still good?

Honestly I choose from three items: breakfast tacos, tacos al pastor or ensalada Guero so hard to screw up any of those. Queso does the trick and the pickled jalapenos are free and plentiful. Margs are still good and the beer is cold. I don't eat typical tex-mex (enchiladas, other goop covered cheese bombs) so their menu is perfect for me. 39 minutes ago, HenryJames said: It's like how that fucking Hopdoddy on South Congress always has a line.

According to Travis County court documents, 26-year-old Adriean Dewayne Benn pleaded guilty to murder; however, he was sentenced for a second-degree manslaughter charge. The charge was related to the death of 24-year-old Jorian Donte Hardeway, who was shot at a downtown Austin nightclub on March 14, 2021. Court documents said, in addition to the five years of deferred adjudication, Benn must also complete 200 community service hours. He is also not allowed to possess firearms. Benn must also participate in an anger management program, and he is no longer allowed in the downtown Austin area between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Benn must also pay $6,500 in restitution.

But there were 350,000 people in Travis County who chose not to vote in November 2024. They're as much of the problem. On the subject of pieces of shit: Quote AUSTIN (KXAN) — The charge toward a 21-year-old man who was accused of organizing a street takeover in Austin in July 2023 was dismissed. This comes after he was convicted in an assault case that happened later that year, according to Travis County court documents. The street takeover occurred at the intersection of South Lamar Boulevard and Barton Springs Road on July 29, 2023. Court records showed the breakdown of messages exchanged between the organizer, Jacobi Patrick Erickson, and another person in the days leading up to the events in Austin. The case that Erickson was convicted in occurred in October 2023, according to court documents. The charge for that case was for assault causing bodily injury-family violence, court records said. In exchange for a guilty plea, Erickson was given two years deferred adjudication. In addition to the deferred adjudication, court documents showed Erickson must also complete 80 hours of community service.
August 25Aug 25 So if someone has a street takeover on Garza's block, then multiple people involved in said takeover break in, rob his house, kill his pets, and rape his boyfriend, does he drop the case?
