A new flavor for Second Street
From Austin Business Journal, January 2, 2009...
Amid the growing concentration of out-of-town restaurant chains in the Second Street District, a group of young restaurateurs plan to tip the scales back to Austin by opening a locally owned restaurant and lounge.
The Icon Group is developing La Condesa, a Mexico City-inspired 130-seat eatery to be located at Second and Guadalupe streets, and Malverde, a stand-alone lounge that will sit above La Condesa. The Icon Group has teamed with Lamberts Downtown Barbeque chef-partner Larry McGuire and other local notables on the restaurant and bar. The restaurant is scheduled to open by February.

Another Downtown Project Stalls
From KXAN, January 1, 2009...
Another huge downtown development has stalled in Downtown Austin. The proposed Museum Tower office building planned for the corner of Fourth and Guadalupe streets is a bust. It was going to be the new home of the Austin Museum of Art , which currently sits at Eighth Street and Congress Avenue.
The parking lot at Fourth and Guadalupe streets was supposed to be replaced soon by a 30-story Museum Tower. The delay is being blamed on the staggering economy. John Sager is just one of many disappointed Austin-area artists.
