A historic block in downtown Austin is going to look very different soon. Two staple businesses are leaving.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the closure of several long-standing businesses on Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, highlighting the impact of the ongoing economic challenges and shifts in consumer behavior. Notable closures include the Austin branch of Waterloo Records, which has been a staple since 1982, and the vintage clothing store, Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds, open since 1984. These closures are attributed to a combination of factors such as the rise of online shopping, increased rent, and the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The article reflects on the cultural loss these closures represent for the community, as these businesses were not just commercial spaces but also significant cultural landmarks in Austin.
