Some more neighborhood views around South Austin from Friday and Sunday. I went and grabbed a few new ones I've noticed recently. The Austonian is really sticking up in some places now.
This is from behind the baseball fields at Garrison Park. It's on the backside of the park near the train tracks. The view is looking north of course, towards Stassney Lane.
360 and Frost show up here too, but 360 hardly ever does, and you really can't see it with your naked eye. It does show up nicely at night though. Frost you'll notice, is just about hidden from view now by The Austonian. There's a street that runs off of Manchaca Road along side the park (Parkside Road). It's a really nice neighborhood. Some of the houses that back up to the park have this for their view.
Zoomed out, in real life it appears bigger than this. I just wanted to show the lights.
That is Crockett High School to the left. My old school.
This is a first. A view of a downtown building from the jogging track at Crockett. It sure would have made things more interesting if the building had been there when I was in school. lol
You can always catch the best sunsets down there.
I spotted this view a couple of weeks ago on Woodhue Drive near William Cannon. Don't see it? Look on the left side of the pic above the roof of that white building. See something sticking up?
Zoomed in. This is another first. I've never seen a downtown building here.
A little farther north on Woodhue just south of William Cannon, is this view of Spring. I'd seen it before when turning onto Woodhue. This was taken from the northbound sidewalk on Woodhue.
The large Texas flag at the end of the street says "Texas needs Kinky".
From the railroad overpass on William Cannon.
This is from the Shell station at South First and William Cannon. This is across the street from Bedichek Middle School, which was my middle school, and the filming location of Dazed and Confused! You can see Frost of course too, and I hadn't ever noticed it, but if you look to the left on the horizon, that looks like 300 West Sixth. 360, One American Center, Frost and now The Austonian all show up there, but I didn't realize anything shorter than that would.
From a driveway on South First near Eberhart Lane, between William Cannon and Stassney. There's actually an auto parts store there. This is one view I'm anxiously watching. If anything tall goes in at Seaholm and Green, it will surely stick up here front and center on South First.
This was taken at Turtle Creek Boulevard and Cougar Drive. You can see Frost at this spot too, but it wasn't showing up. The Austonian partially blocks it, and the trees do too. It's quite noticeable at night, and in the winter the view is even better. This is right next to Odom Elementary School, which was my school. It's funny, but all three of my schools that I went to now have some pretty noticeable skyline views right next to them.
This last one is from Emerald Forrest Drive. And oddly enough, the best view I saw that day was right in my neighborhood.
