With the family out of town for the weekend, I was down on Sixth Street Friday night. Sometime after midnight, we heard a rumor that there had been a bomb threat at either Jackalope or La Cucaracha. The police apparently moved everyone out of that entire block and closed it down.<\/p>\n
When we were booted out onto the street from Casino El Camino at 2am, we found an APD officer and a line of yellow tape stretching across Sixth. I was parked on Congress. Feigning ignorance, we asked the cop what had happened and whether or not we could get through. He told us to use the alley and that he couldn’t tell us what had happened. We trudged through the alley between 5th and 6th with the rest of the crowd, stunned at the number of people trying to whiz behind dumpsters. I know it happens, but you’d think the increased foot traffic would discourage the practice, not encourage it.<\/p>\n
Is Austin a town of exhibitionists or what? And does anybody have anything more on this bomb threat? I checked News 8’s website, figuring them for the best chance of having a story and came up with nothing. Is APD intentionally keeping a lid on it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
