Amy's Ice Cream, East Side Pies broken into overnight in Austin, Texas

 

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Two popular Austin spots were hit overnight by burglars, the businesses told KXAN Saturday.

Amy’s Ice Cream and East Side Pies told KXAN they showed up to their locations on U.S. Highway 183 near Anderson Mill Road to find their glass doors had been shattered.

East Side Pies shared a video with KXAN showing two people entering the business wearing dark hoodies and covering their faces.

A spokesperson with East Side Pies told KXAN all three East Side Pies locations had a break-in this month, and that it’s alarming to see local businesses across Austin being targeted like this.

 

East Side Pies said someone broke into their Burnet location on Aug. 6, and they were able to get a picture of the masked intruder.

Spoiler

“This break-in is part of a string of burglaries happening across Austin and too many of our fellow small businesses have been affected. What has carried us through today is the love and support we’ve already felt from our neighborhood and the city. If you are looking for a way to help, the best thing you can do is keep showing up for local spots you love. Come by and share a scoop or a burger with us- and please make sure to stop by our neighbors at East Side Pies, who were also impacted. Moments like this remind us why Austin is such a special place to call home “

-Amy’s Ice Cream spokesperson

The city is being a little weird, IMHO.

On 6th street, they are adding cars to a heavily pedestrian street to make it safer.
But over on Congress, they are proposing closing part of the street to cars to make it safer for pedestrians.

What if the folks that are causing issues on 6th just migrate over to Congress?

It's not weird.  You're just mistakenly assuming anyone put any thought into any of this, outside of listening to complaints from a vocal minority of malcontents, followed by briefly skimming studies/reports provided by groups that stand to profit from the changes.  You know, the way everything gets decided in Austin.

Yeah, I kinda dig East Side Pies.  We've hit the Burnet Road location a couple of times lately.

Eh,  There are 3 shops within spitting distance that crush it -- Homeslice, Feral, and Tony C's.

Homeslice is actually a PITA to get to, and to get into.  Love it, it's my wife's favorite pizza, but it's just always slammed.  When I just want a damned pizza, I like someplace I can go into and get a pizza.  Not a fan of Tony C's.  I've had it several times, and the crust is always too soggy/limp.  I've given it several chances.  I hear great things about Feral, but it's takeout only.  When we want to go in and sit down and eat, that's not an option.  But I do want to try it.

The real hard sell is going there instead of Bufalina, which my wife loves.  But again, can be tough to get in.

I don't know how the hell you can handle eating enough pizza to come to that conclusion.  Are you still in your thirties or something?  I'll have to try Feral or Tony C's for my next biannual slice of pizza.
