Music venues and other businesses on East Sixth Street boarded up their windows as the city shut down early on in the pandemic.
Swiatecki: The company is called Stream Realty Partners. They're based out of Dallas, but they've got a very strong presence here in Austin and one of their senior vice presidents, Caitlyn Ryan, is an Austinite. I don't think it's a firm number yet; there are just some details shared at the meeting last week of six potential sites. There could be more, I don't know. They showed all of their cards here, because obviously there's quite a bit of negotiating going on for leases and construction.
There were six details given and then the senior VP for Stream Realty — who, as I said, is an Austinite — specifically said that she wants Emo's in some way, shape or form to return to the district. Emo's is one of the founding kind of independent rock clubs that left the area in 2011, so she wants to bring that back as well. So that's seven, I guess. I detailed six in my story, but you've got seven possibly there.
