Sidewalk Fail
What's the worst sidewalk in Austin?
By Richard Whittaker, Fri., Aug. 29, 2014
We asked for photos of the most dangerous or poorly maintained sidewalks in Austin, and you sent them. @CapMetroBlues tweeted us this image of a spot well known to Hyde Park residents: the northeast corner of 45th and Duval, right next to two apartment complexes and a convenience store. Between the sloping concrete, the utility pole, and the temporary gravel patch that's been there about five years and counting, this one crams a lot of fail into a tiny space.
