Disappearing Dallas

Sam’s BBQ in east Austin is holding on in the face of rampant gentrification. If you Google Sam’s bbq there is a great Texas Monthly article about the family business. From another article - “I’ve got love for this community,” he told KXAN in 2019. “If you’ve been in business 43 years in the community, you gotta love that community because they have supported you for years. You can’t just give up on them. You can’t just walk out on them.” Preservation is about more than just architecture!
