I remember that project. I believe they still had some renderings of it up on a billboard on Cesar Chavez for a couple of years.

I'm glad there's no casino in downtown Austin. The casinos at the OK/TX border are pretty massive. I went to Winstar (I-35) a couple of times in college but have never been to Durant, OK (I think the one there is Choctaw Casino or something).

Pierce Brosnan has been spotted around Austin while he's been in town filming a movie.

Clubtokyo, Correct. Too easy? Geek that I am, when I'm bored I search the web for interesting highrises. I guess this one is too unique and in a popular city so next time will definitely be tougher.

Jbssfelix, correct. How the heck did you know this??? I thought this was going to be challenging and in need of clues.

Google IS an amazing search tool. I use it to find the names of songs if I only know a few lyrics. Its an almost endless source of information. That being said, you cheated.

This Statesman's article and headline mismatch is amusing to me. Congrats P'ville Chamber!

Not really a mismatch as the award story is just below the arrest story and is still a part of the overall "Pfast Facts".

Has anyone else been having trouble with Photobucket the past few days? I'm having to log in again every time I load the next page in my library, and the log in process for each page is very slow.

^^ I'm not having that problem. I have the "paid" photobucket as opposed to the "free" photobucket if that makes a difference.

^Yeah, I can see that. Minus the awesome talls, the view is similar to the one in Austin from say, Lou Neff Point or there abouts.
