That vid is a kind of metaphor for what most Austinites do to Shoal Creek

I'm just trying to figure out what he was trying to accomplish. Riding the arch all the way to the end or just hoping for a happy landing somewhere along the way? I guess he didn't factor in the bounce factor. Hope this doesn't lead to a bunch of copycat daredevils.

I saw this kid riding down Lamar this afternoon, so I'm happy to report that he got his bike back. lol

That is hilarious! I sent it to the bridge designer (based in Florida) so he could see how well his anti-skateboard devices are working.

Yowza, that's some high-ass resolution. Nice snaps!

Can we get someone to start building something on the Statesman site soon? Anyone? It's time, y'all.

I just realized it looks like they're repainting Windsor on the Park.

Oddly, its still one of my favorite towers. If I recall, it went up pretty fast. Maybe I like it because it was the first to be bold enough to add significant height to that area. And say what we will about stucco, it is easy to maintain and paint and we get an older tower with a nice new look.

"Black Austin Matters" is being painted on S Congress right now. I'm sure there will be a ton of better drone pictures later, here's a screenshot from KXAN's cam:

Ah, nuts, I meant Windsor on the Lake. You know, the stucco tower.

Nice. I think the shorter crane for Indeed Tower is probably about where the top of the building will be.

You sure? Seems like the shorter crane is shorter than the top of Frost Bank. I'm thinking the top point of the tower will be somewhere between the short and tall crane.
