New folk around the Spoke

Developers have been vying for the rutted, bumpy dirt lot around the Broken Spoke honky-tonk in South Austin for at least the last twenty years of its forty-three year existence. Now they’ve got it, but they swear the iconic dance hall that’s reverberated to the music of Bob Wills (he’s still the king) and the Texas Playboys and the Texas Troubadour Ernest Tubb will go on unmolested. We’ll just have to see about that.
