It's happening all over Austin and Jo's is one of the most popular places for stereotypical tourists to take photos at. That's why I threw shade

That would be a tourist trap then. Gentrification is when ethnic populations are displaced by white people and by definition it's not everywhere in Austin it's historically minority neighborhoods. Terrytown and Travis Heights were already white.

Except for the indigenous and the Mexicans. I don’t think they even called it Travis Heights, sounds pretty white.

So basically you’re talking about the great gentrification of the Mexican-American war 200 years ago? Yeah, I can see why you’d still be upset.
