Goddamnit. I wish this was for real. That would make me piss myself with joy. I love it when large groups of self-rightous people get angry.

I freaked out on Monday when I saw that the banner was still up on South Lamar. I've been all a twitter and trying to ruffle other people's feathers about this. HOWEVER, last night, I noticed that the banner was down. YAY! The neighborhood would have been IRRATE!!!!

The same folks complaining about the gentrification of Austin neighborhoods would complain if a Wal-Mart were located in one of those neighborhoods. You just can't please some people.

That is some of the best headline writing I've seen in a long time! And I know what I'm talking about because 15 years ago I won a 7th grade UIL Headline Writing competition.

I am praying that it is a prank. There is a sign on Barton Springs Road, too. Those evil people...are evil.

it is right behind city hall, across the street from Taverna. I hope it's an April Fool's.

Totally a prank. It's held on with gaffer's tape.

I am still trying to figure out where on Second Street this is. It looks like it's on block 21, right behind City Hall. Yikes!
