If that building gets built on 5th st, I don't doubt that section will be the most populated section in all of Austin. I just wonder if it will still continue to be dead. That area mostly feels just residential and not enough things going on. Pedestrian night life doesn't really start until you get to 360 and 2nd Street, or if you go to W 6th St. I hope Seaholm and Greenwater will change that.

Also, a little bit off topic, but considering that Austin is a "party" town, I constantly hear it being compared to New Orleans, and even Las Vegas. I'm just wondering, that if it is the case, why does Austin close so early? Does anybody here think that Austin will someday be a 24hr city, or at least stop selling alcohol around 4am? I'm under the impression (I may be wrong) that LA, LV, New Orleans and NYC stop selling alcohol after 4am. It be cool to see Austin open just a little later. I know for sure the city won't have a hard time adapting, considering that there are neat venues that stay open 24hrs (Magnolia's, Kerbey Lane, Bennu, Epoch, Buzz Mill). I also wonder why Austin isn't consistently flooded with pedestrian crowds throughout the day in Downtown. I'm sure better public transportation will probably change that, but that's also an entirely different topic.
