ROUND ROCK — Williamson County's first known drag show generated more controversy Tuesday, as city officials ordered the first fire code inspection of the decade old coffee shop that hosted it and Round Rock Mayor Nyle Maxwell visited the shop's owner to air residents' concerns.

City officials said they were responding to numerous complaints about Friday's show, which attracted an estimated crowd of more than 150 people to Saradora's Coffeehouse & Cafe in downtown Round Rock. The comments centered on the size of the crowd and the nature of the show, Maxwell said.

"The constituents we've heard from are concerned about the immorality of it, that it's promoting homosexuality," said Maxwell, who spoke with coffee shop owner Sarah Roberts on Tuesday morning.

City Fire Inspector Paul Ward did a full inspection of the coffee shop Tuesday and found the event violated code because the shop can seat only 84 people.

2. The Wilco Dems are indeed a hardy bunch

As a long time (former) Williamson County resident, I think we need to recognize the hard work of the Wilco dems. Talk about a hostile environment.

5. True. They are a hearty, fiesty bunch.

I suggest Sarah's coffee shop be the location for meetups for them. :)

3. "Immorality of it" This is why the right wing Theocracy can not happen.

When they over turn Roe V Wade what will be next. Roe V Drag Queen? I feel sorry for the homosexual in the south all of the bigotry down their.

4. Homosexuality in the south is like everything else in the south...

just fine and dandy as long as it's never mentioned. Hypocrisy is THE way of life.

6. It's the stupid shit like this that makes me want the death penalty

so we can get rid of racist and bigoted assclowns.

If that coffee shop was having a Revival Meeting, no one would have cared if there 150 people, or 200 people. In fact, they would have applauded it and declared "This town loves Jesus!!"

7. This is why I dislike doing any business in that county.

I can't stand giving them my tax dollars.

8. I love Saradora's.

They must have gotten air-conditioning if they fit that many people in there; it's freaking hot there in the summer.

I'm so glad my mom moved out of Round Rock. What a nasty place. Even if they did move all the good stores in after she left.

9. When some of the rich pricks

in sun city georgetown decided they didn't want to pay their fair share in property taxes and pushed thru a cap, they said it was done for the poor and disabled people of williamson county. Anyone who questioned their lack of moral and Christian duty to provide adequate resources for education, health care, community services were attacked as un-american, unpatriotic,aiding the evil-doers, and socialist. We know there m.o.
The round rock mayor seemed to have made veiled threats and took a shot at Austin during his lecture to the Saradora's owner.
