Seeing the closed down SPiN in these photos reminded me that it appears that their Austin location is the only one that they closed permanently.

Their statement here says want to come back to Austin, but it sound as if the permanent closure may not have been their choice:

My guess is that this corner has been (or will be sold) off for redevelopment.

I'm surprised you were able to get photos from the Chase garage. Those people are afraid of their own shadows and always run me off whenever I go up there. Did you park in the garage?

I have been hesitant of going into the garage but today there happen to be no one at the surveillance desk. I walked in and took the elevator to the top floor.

That's cool. Maybe I'll try my luck again sometime. I also got run off from the Hyatt Town Lake garage and the old Whole Foods/REI garage. Bummer, because those are some good views.

Seems like sometime in the next 10 years a developer will buy out the Plaza Lofts, raze it and builds something really big. It has open westerly views and will be directly across from the new Republic Square metro station.

This tower is turning out quite nice. Especially from the West side. There are some very nice angles If you're coming in from North Lamar. I also wanna take some photos but have no idea how to upload them from my cannon on here.

You have to upload them to your computer/laptop, then upload them to a photo host. I use https://imgur.com/

Then you grab the URL BB code and paste that into your forum post.

It's also best to resize them before uploading them. You should have a photo viewer with your computer/laptop, and you can edit and resize them that way.

No need to resize before upload, you can just append "l" (lowercase L) or "m" to the file name and Imgur will automatically serve that.

e.g. if the URL is "https://i.imgur.com/ijqxraS.jpg" then you can do "https://i.imgur.com/ijqxraSm.jpg" to resize.
