Austin & Dallas--May 2022
Both Austin and Dallas continue to boom, benefitting from tech growth and corporate expansions/relocations. I spent a few days in each city in May.

The Domain is becoming Austin's second downtown. Located about 9 miles north of downtown, this new urbanist, mixed-use development has developed rapidly over the past ten years.

All over downtown, the cityscape is transformed as older 1 and 2 story buildings are being replaced with 40+ story high-rises.

South Congress: Located just south of downtown, this formerly gritty strip is now one of the trendiest areas in Austin. Despite lots of new development, there remains a core of businesses which helped establish its identity as a unique Austin attraction. Hopefully, the new developments won't overwhelm the older businesses--a balance will be tricky to maintain.
