“Just north of downtown”?

Well that’s an expansion of the definition of Central Austin even I haven’t heard before.

Maybe the author had originally written really north of Austin, but his editor didn't like that and changed to to "just."

Eh, who am I kidding. it's just hyperbolic marketing by someone who doesn't really know Austin. They're also using 'affordability' and 'premium amenities' in the same sentence...

No kidding.

When my brother bought his first house on Piedmont in 1959, there was a working farm behind his back fence.
And the West Annderson Lane area was a ranch.
65 years ago I used to take my Saturday night high school dates parking by the little country road on the cliff overlooking the abandoned northwest hills quarry.

“Central Austin”, indeed. LMAO.
What do ya expect from today’s carpetbaggers?

Is the train stop at Q2 stadium now open? I will be attending my first Austin F.C. game tomorrow. I want to take the train from Howard station to Q2 Stadium.

You were right. It was a pretty great experience. We went to the Howard lane stop. The train was just a few minutes late. They have the conductor come through between the stops to scan tickets. I guess it is almost like an honor system. I swear both time they only scanned my app once each time for both me and my wife. It dropped us right near the stadium. For the amount of people it was a very orderly chaos. A lot of food choices. They were pricey but I think still slightly cheaper than the HEP center in Cedar Park.
