Tiny Grocer dream team announces a French restaurant at the second location — a renovated Austin post office in prime Hyde Park on 43rd street & Speedway Tiny Grocer isn't looking so tiny nowadays. The well-loved South Congress grocery store and deli, recognizable by its black-and-white-striped awning, is expanding into Hyde Park with a new in-store restaurant opening in tandem "late this summer." The store had been announced nearly a year ago in July, but details about the restaurant, Bureau de Poste, are new. The name comes from the history of the building Tiny Grocer renovated at 4300 Speedway. This former post office affords the business a lot more space, allowing for more seating both indoor and outdoors and, thus, a more complete execution on the eatery portion of the business. There will still be a deli, as many fans expect given the popularity of the one at the original location. The deli will open the day with a casual service and close at 4 pm; Then, at 5, ...

  ‘The third coast of comedy’: Austin’s comedy scene tells us why they’re blowing up A mic looking out onto the stage of the crowd at East Austin Comedy Club. (James Gregg / For the Times) BY NATE JACKSON DEPUTY ENTERTAINMENT AND ARTS EDITOR JUNE 12, 2023 3:05 PM PT During Austin’s evolution into a bona fide hub for comedy, Texas comics who told their L.A. peers to “move over,” “take a seat” and “hold our beer” probably didn’t think the Angelenos would actually take them up on it. The result has been a great migration of some of L.A.’s biggest names onstage and behind the scenes in the comedy world, who are happily planting themselves in Texas, beer in hand, laughing their butts off. Last week, we did a story on how Austin’s booming stand-up scene is inspiring headlining and open-mic comics from all over the country to take part in making the local culture even bigger. There are so many reasons for their glow-up that they couldn’t fit into one article (don’t worry, we’ll be back)....

  Our Commonwealth Calls Us Thirty-three years ago today, on June 7th, 1990, the people of Austin launched a movement to save the life source of our city.   The nation's largest discharger of toxic waste into the waters of the United States sought approval to build a small city on the banks of Barton Creek. Over 1000 people showed up at City Hall, protesting outside and speaking to city council inside -- all night long.  The Barton Creek Uprising --  watch highlights here  -- changed the course of Austin's history.   But memories fade.  The Austin greed machine does not.  The same local insiders still seek to sell our public trust resources to corporate interests. This time it's Zilker Park -- teed up to be transformed into an outdoor entertainment district where the primary purpose is making money.  The global music monopoly Live Nation/Ticketmaster--now the principal owner of the ACL music festival and primary funder of the Austin...
