Look at all the posts for 6 X Guad. ALL the time. Not very positive posts either. But here at Waterline, the tallest, and well designed, almost silence. Why? The Parking Podium is well covered. The tower part is interesting. The crown is different. Yet almost no interest! 30+ years in Texas and I still do not understand where the attention to design and social/street interaction of a building gets the attention of a Texan.
Rail at me for being an outsider all you want. But when will Austin and Texas open up to the greater world and not re-invent the wheel on all issues? Waterline deserves more respect than this community has given it.

My Brother-in-Christ, we are absolutely gagged about this new building, but we have also been at ACL for two weekends in a row and we are tired.
