Ahh, the "head in the sand" approach to dealing with growth. If we don't build it, maybe everyone will just poof go away. What's that old adage I once heard about shitting in one hand and hoping in ...

Loudmouth, why do you think shithole efficiencies in a ton of major cities of the US rent for $1000 a month and up? I'll give you a hint, it's because demand for housing in those cities exceeds suppl...

deep sigh....

Everyone knows you can't eat a sandwich if a Californian was in any way involved in its delivery into your hands. Otherwise, with every bite, another beloved Austin landmark is replaced with a condo!...

It must be the Democrats' fault your soda didn't get refilled too....

Henri Mazza, is there anything he can't do? Sigh...so dreamy....

If you really think Fun Fun Fun fest sucks and is so horrible, please organize a better event with a better lineup for equivalent or less money. I'd love to go to it, and want to see it happen here i...

I love It's A Shame About Ray too, but c'mon, Evan Dando? Definitely on the Mount Olympus Of People Who Have Smoked Crack, tho....

Last I heard, Villa Muse is now in talks with Bastrop. That way they can take advantage of Austin's creative capital without having to deal w/ the City of Austin and its ETJ. http://www.statesman.co...

Thanks for including that link, Seth. I just sent the mayor and council a letter letting them know what I think....

Technically, North Loop begins North of 51st St, Hyde Park begins South of 51st St. I think Truecraig hits the nail on the head with his last comment. I recall some talk on the Hyde Park NA list a...

You guys missed out on Humboldt County, which is a real shame because it was fantastic....

Dave, I presume you mean free parking? If so, and you don't mind walking, the Holly Street area has unmetered spots. But it's not such a secret anymore, and a lot of downtown workers take up those s...
