Here's a link to the boundary map changes for all AISD schools: Link
Bowie HS maps are on page 199. Looks like only small changes along the southeast boundary.
We're in the trust tree, right?
I've lived in Austin since 1994 (minus 4 years in Dallas), and for several of them I lived relatively close by Top Notch, and my kids attended Lamar and McCallum.
I've never been to Top Notch.
I look forward to getting rid of all the crap. When I moved into my wife's house last March, we both did a major purge at my old house and her house, getting rid of un-needed furniture and mounds of other stuff to Salvation Army, Goodwill, or curbside bulky trash service. It was a ton of work, but so worth it.
This is our neighborhood. We still have a sophomore and freshman, but a lot of our friends have become empty nesters over the past couple of years and it doesn't seem like any of them want to move in the near future. Some of it is wanting to keep the home base for a while as the kids come back from college. Another part is continuing to live close to all of your friends who for various reasons all stay in the neighborhood even in the empty nest/retirement years.
We have a big house that could be more than we want after all the kids are gone. But the mortgage is cheap, and even when its paid off, and we could take a large chunk of equity and put it down on something smaller, and maybe something closer to Central Austin, but the prices and property taxes will be crazier by then.
The Curra's avocado frozen margaritas slam hard in the paint. I usually like a very minimalist rocks marg with fresh lime juice and little else. But @dcbc, get you an avocado frozen.
I can only assume so. Maybe I'm not aware of how many private and charter school options there are in Austin these days, but it didn't seem to me that the private/charter source would have been a significant cause of declining enrollment in so many AISD schools given Austin's population explosion over the past two decades.
I've always had a great meal at El Dorado, though haven't been in the restaurant in a while. But we've recently put it the rotation for ordering in, and even when delivered it's really damn good.
It's just going to be a different experience than Y Mas, which is more rustic Tex-Mex. El Dorado is more interior Mexican, a little fancier, and you're more likely to see a decent contingent of Northwest Hills MILFs.
