Construction causes trouble downtown
Monday, June 22, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
Over the weekend, reports that a garage for another downtown hotel could damage the natural rock wall at Cheer Up Charlies riled Austinites. Construction at the Hyatt House also triggered problems for the Mohawk next door, whose proprietors were told their dumpsters are now blocking the right of way. According to a Facebook post by Cheer Up Charlies’ co-owner Maggie Lea, those worried about what’s going on with the natural rock wall are encouraged to call 3-1-1 and complain to the city’s Code Department today.
