Sonya Jackson+FollowOur community center is now a migrant shelter. Where are our kids supposed to go?The mayor says we are a "Sanctuary City" and should welcome everyone. I get it. But now the gym where my kids played basketball is commandeered, and all after-school programs are canceled. We pay high property taxes only to lose access to our own facilities. Helping others is fine, but why does it have to come at the expense of local residents? #ImmigrantCrisis #SanctuaryCity #Taxpayers #LocalPolitics #CommunityFirst22Share
Robert Daniels+FollowAustin’s New Sound Cafe is brewing more than coffeeA once-empty spot on W. Lake St. is now alive with the aroma of fresh-roasted coffee and the buzz of neighbors connecting. New Sound Cafe isn’t just serving up great brews—it’s pouring profits right back into the Austin community. Owners Andrew and Hannah Follett transformed an old gospel record store into a cozy hangout, complete with a lounge, meeting space, and a patio ready for spring gatherings. Local food partners and an advisory board of longtime Austinites helped shape every detail. How do you think a place like this could change the feel of our neighborhood? #Food #AustinChicago #CommunityFirst00Share
