"Saturday Night in Austin." A ~5 minute video from Atlantic Monthly. It's a pretty cool depiction of what makes Austin Austin, but it hints at the troubles on the horizon.

I didn't realize just how great of views existed from that area. That should be another draw as they build more along that corridor.

Yeah, this was from the South Shore District development. I didn't take the photo.

Man, if they had built the Fairmont at its original size, it would have been positively giant from this angle.

Sadly, all that that needs is Rainey and the South Shore to include the entire skyline.

Is this taken from Alamo Plaza? I've still never been in there. Is there a parking garage hidden in there we can get to the top of for photos?

Or maybe it's from the top of the Gibson Flats garage...

My Google Pixel has some really badass panorama options I'd like to try out. Maybe I can get the entire skyline like wwmiv wants.

That has to be from Gibson Flats, because of the proximity to Town Hollow apartments and Hanover.
Not sure if it was taken from one of the balconies on the north side, or if is from the top of the parking garage. I have never been in the parking garage, so not sure if you can get a view from there.

It was Gibson Flats which can be verified by clicking on the Flickr link.
