Austin Video Thread
I guess I might as well create a city video thread for Austin too.
On November 10, 2006, a fire broke out on the 2nd floor above the shopping mall of a UT dorm building. The building is 27 floors of residential dorms and 2 levels of shopping. It's Austin's 6th tallest building. The fire started on the pool deck area. I never heard what the cause was. It started at 3 am, and was reported by a resident of the building and a passersby on the street. 930 students call the building home in what is Austin's tallest dorm. Story from the Daily Texan (UT's newspaper). Firefighters extinguish Dobie Center blaze http://media.www.dailytexanonline.co...-2453763.shtml Posted by citruscooler |
In 1999 Intel Corporation started construction on their new 10-story, 400,000 square foot office building in downtown. But as the tech bust rolled around in 2000/2001 they halted construction on the building. Plans were to just put it on hold and continue later. But that never happened, and for 7 years Austin had a 5-story stump in the middle of downtown. So on February 25, 2007 it was imploded. Plans are to build a new federal courthouse on the site of where the Intel "shell" once stood.

A trip up through and to the top of the old control tower at Mueller. Occasional glimpses of Mueller construction and a couple of brief views of the skyline from a distance at the end.

So glad you posted that. I really hope they restore the tower and open it up to the public as an observation tower.
