I recorded it, may watch it tonight just because it was filmed local but the last episode of Walking Dead will be a hard act to follow. Its kind of cool that all those actors were just 5 miles from my house.

Talk about a blank wall. This is a NYC (Brooklyn) proposal.

Awesome house, man! Congrats!

I pronounce the river with a "Guadalupay" sound and the street with the "Guadaloop" sound. It's weird I know, but so is people debating over the correct pronunciation of the word, especially when its origin specifically pronounces it a certain way. Coincidentally, we have a candidate for governor - her name is Lupe, and she pronounces it "Lupay".

By the way, that's a very nice house, Dcbrickley. That's gorgeous. Congrats!

I got to play 42 in the Google Tower today. 29th floor Google game lounge. Pretty nice. Great views!

Great pics! I noticed they cut two holes into the facade of the Ashbel-Smith Hall that's being prepped for demo.

Skyscraper fans should check out the WOHA exhibit at the library. Not the best urbanism, and the lush tropical climate of Singapore does not directly translate to Austin, but it is pretty inspiring. I believe it closes at the end of the month.

They filmed an episode of a tv show in the house across the street from us. It's the American version of a Norwegian teen drama called "SKAM". It's been neat watching them set up with all the film trucks and everything. This is actually the 2nd time in 2 years that a house in our neighborhood has been used to film something. They said they picked our neighbor's house because there's a garage in the backyard that's visible from the street and part of the plot apparently included the son playing in a garage band.

You could say so. Actually would have been fairly easy to know what has been happening wherever you were at.

This forum has been so quiet in the last week or so . . . it's kind of disconcerting.

I feel ya. I think some of that has to do with a pause in construction during SXSW plus not a ton of updates on projects. And we have lost (hopefully temporarily) one of our most active forumers which helped keep the forum busy. He's doing okay by the way.

Its been quite over the past few wks, and sadly General hasn't return. If any of you guys have him on social media tell him to come back. The Austin forum hasn't been the same.

There's been a hostile takeover of shaggytexas.com. The community is going to move over to a new site within a week.

My Downtown Projects thread will have to get restarted. Ugh. 2,758 replies and 143,000+ views.

No, but we are never posting there again out of principle. It'll be a ghost town soon enough.
