That is so hilarious Kevin. You find the most appropriate memes.

I'll like and comment here also. Watched your video twice. Very cool. Wish I could do something that spontaneous. Nice to meet you through your blog. You did in 2 days what I haven't done in over 30 years, and that's Franklin's. I'm a big fan of Salt Lick. There's no waiting and since I can't compare it to Franklin's because I never ate there I'll accept it may be second best. I think you discovered that the burnt ends on a brisket is meat candy. Probably one of the tastiest thing you can eat. You got a lot done in just a couple days including the Domain. You and your friend are a perfect fit for Austin as Austin would be a perfect fit for you, based on your personality and energy I saw on the vid. You did Austin proud.

Thank you so much Genral! Haha, I actually had a flight booked to Austin for this weekend but moved it sooner since I saw there were thunderstorms coming. Then I asked my friend if he was down to come with me and just went from there! A year of research of the city seriously paid off and it was REALLY cool to experience the whole city in person. There's still a lot of things that I want to experience but didn't have time to check out. I'll bookmark Salt Lick and try it out when I'm back. Burnt ends is seriously so good and I craved it again while editing the video haha.

I honestly can't wait to come back and I'm 110% booked in moving there. I'll continue to do you guys proud when I move there by uploading pictures of the construction around the city and creating more content to showcase how awesome the city is on YouTube.

Cheers

Was that the first time you've been here? I ask because the Fairmont and Independent were under construction in your video, but they've both been finished for a while.

Yeah, it was my first time there! I connected with some other drone users/Instagrammers down in Austin to help me out with some b-roll

Travis Co. will announce a shelter in place plan tomorrow. I'm sure the suburban counties will follow shortly thereafter.

I forgot to post this a few weeks ago before the Coronavirus panic. Chip & Joanna Gaines are expanding the Magnolia Market in Waco, TX. It will have a historic church (for weddings I assume), coffeeshop, furniture showroom, a whiffle ball field, and a splash pad.

We Work is offering $100.00 daily bonuses to workers who come to work for them.
This is interesting!

With the new ordinance its hard to interpret if commercial construction is allowed. Word on the street is all the jobs are running business as usual some without a place for the guys to wash their hands.

All construction that is not part of the critical infrastructure list is supposed to be shutting down. They have a few days to button up sites to make them safe, but shouldn't be continuing for the next few weeks at a minimum.

Other major cities in Texas are not doing that, not even California. Why is Austin?

ahealy · #**1797** Posted **Mar 25, 2020, 3:25 PM**

^^^ so like, everything downtown is coming to a halt? I can't seem to get a clear answer for Block 185, Indeed, etc.

clubtokyo · #**1798** Posted **Mar 25, 2020, 3:53 PM**

I really hope not!

A check of the webcams we have would indicate that construction continues on State projects but has stopped on the others.
