Life is a Bumpy Road

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Austin, Texas, United States

I am an esteemed alumni of Austin College in Sherman Texas (Class of "none of your business"). I graduated with a BA in Liberal Arts as a History Major. Subsequently, I have worked in the human services field since graduation because there aren't too many jobs out there for history majors. Except for my short incarceration in Sherman, I have always lived in Austin, Texas. That's not totally true, I was born in England and lived there approximately 18 months, but for some strange reason I don't remember living there. I travel through out Texas for my job, every week. So beware Texans, I might be coming to a town near you!! I am happily married to a wonderful guy and have 0 (zero, zilch) children. (We just forgot to have them?) I find life amusing now (I used to find it extremely depressing but that's another story). So here's to Life, which after all can be a very bumpy road!

Plans for Block 21 get bigger

I saw this on News 8 this morning, but I wonder about the accuracy of ACL being included in the plans yet. According to an article in the Statesman on Thursday, ACL had not yet decided to sign on with this venture.

Plans for Block 21 get bigger

A downtown Austin project is taking shape at least on the small scale.
The plans for Block 21, just north of Austin's City Hall, have expanded to a 30-story high-rise. The building would contain shopping and office space plus be a new home for Austin City Limits and the Children's Museum.
The high-rise location in the central business district means the building doesn't have to follow any height restrictions.
'All of us are very excited about what's going on in downtown Austin right now. I think, in the next few years, you're going to see projects completed that will literally transform the face of downtown Austin,' Austin City Councilman Lee Leffingwell said.
On Thursday the council received a briefing about the project. It's being touted as downtown Austin's first town square. Construction is set to start next year and finish by 2008.
