Go to this page https://modernaustinresidences.com/views/ and then click on level 16 to see what an "intimate" view Modern residents will have of their neighbors to the west. Pretty funny.

I would expect that in an urban environment...

I don't know what y'all are seeing on that floor. All I see are two construction workers a few floors down.

I think it’s fun. Heyyyy tower neighbors whatcha up to? Toss me a beer? Lol

That's what one side of my apartment was like in China. We had north-facing and south-facing windows, which was pretty nice. The north-facing was across from another building, so we just made sure to keep the curtains closed at night. The south-side had a great view, which was awesome.

Fort Worth is taking over the container bar for SXSW this weekend, then Doc Martens moves in and then that’s a wrap for the place.

Container Bar announced their last day is March 27th on their Facebook page just now.

I'll be there this weekend! Both have been such a vibe for my friends and I and they will be greatly missed. Bungalow is relocating on Rainey still, right?

The ATX · #**373** Posted **Mar 23, 2022, 10:55 PM**

I like how the official groundbreaking was before the bars on the site had their final weekend goodbye party.

Jdawgboy · #**374** Posted **Mar 24, 2022, 4:27 AM**

I'll head over there Sunday as well. Will be a nice way to end my birthday weekend.

Does that even count as "moving dirt"...? It's a glorified sandbox at that point.

They need to move some containers first.

The ROW closure permit for this started yesterday. Has anyone been by the site to see how it looks since the bars closed a week ago?
