Dirty Martin's on Guadalupe faces displacement from a proposed light rail line.
Wooden picnic tables sit on what once was the dirt floor that lent this 96-year-old Austin burger joint its name decades ago. Framed photos of employees, customers, and Longhorn football players cover most of the burnt orange walls.
The system, called Project Connect, would dramatically expand light rail and bus service throughout the city and greater Austin area."The intent is to provide lots of options for people to get around town more cheaply and more efficiently," Council Member Kathie Tovo said. She represents City Council District 9, which includes the Dirty Martin's property.
When the burger joint, originally named Martin's Kum-Bak, was founded by John Martin in 1926, the small building had eight bar stools, a counter, and dirt floors. Ten years later, Martin sold the restaurant to Stuart Nemir Sr. The current owner, Mark Nemir, is Stuart's grandson, which means Dirty Martin's has been in the same family for more than 80 years.
"There's a little corner where you can kind of dip the bun in and it gets that glaze of grease," Young says."And that's how people remember us."
