I have to start by saying great video! Amazing how much things have changed over the years on this list not just regarding how many high rises we have in town now, but the images and video footage of these buildings.
I do have a question however. I no longer work downtown. In fact I spend half of my time at work in other cities. So I don't get the daily view I used to get 15 years ago.
At the 3:22 mark of the video, on the bottom right of the screen we can see one of the fist mid-rise buildings to go up in Austin during the boom. I always seem to get the name wrong. i think it was the Gables? Anyway, isn't that short tan building (whatever it is called) with the dark brown roof, the same building with the big blank wall facing South? I noticed the building next to it has a pool several stories up. Are the people in the pool staring at a big blank wall?
Just curious.
