Thanks for the tip. I've never been there and actually got a gift card to eat there with my family for doing the model for the developer. It'll be fun.
Has anyone heard the outcome of the vote by city council on the post office towers? They were supposed to be voting on it lastnight.

AUSTIN CITY COUNCIL
Council sets special Monday meeting on Concordia project
Campus would include hotel, offices and university
AMERICAN STATESMAN STAFF
Friday, March 23, 2007
The Austin City Council postponed for a second time today the final zoning vote on the proposed multimillion dollar redevelopment of the Concordia University campus.
The Council has scheduled a special meeting Monday afternoon for the vote. That pushes action down to the wire for developers to be able to close on schedule Thursday on the purchase of the 22-acre campus at Interstate 35 and 32nd Street.
Officials of Concordia said any delay wouldjeopardize their deal to buy the former Schlumberger office campus in North Austin, which they want to make the university's new home. That deal also is set to close Thursday.
The Council was scheduled to vote Thursday on the East Avenue project, which had made its way through all of the city approval steps and preliminary Council approval.
But the vote was tabled because some key documents were not ready. The documents still weren't complete this afternoon.
Some council members said they didn't like the fact that they were under pressure to rush through a vote on such a major project without all the pieces in place.
The East Avenue developers are proposing to build 1,400 residences, several hundred thousand square feet of office and retail space and a hotel on the campus. Some neighbors said that level of density is out of place near residential neighborhoods, and raised concerns about the increased traffic the project would generate.
