Is this the right spot to proclaim that the best job I ever had was being a waiter at SRD?

Uh oh, I frequented that place 92-96.  You ever have an Asian chick lick your sack there? 

Yep, and she played NIN the whole time she abused me while I dosed out on shrooms.

I thought Mad Dog was across from Abel's.

[JimmyTwoTimes 79]

Garbage Gate was just west of Abel’s, hell maybe it was a few blocks away, been a long time, not shining shoes anymore.

Getting the kids ready and all of the sudden hearing the demolition was freaky.  Did not realize it was this morning.   

[MAUFRAIS 6635]

That was bad fuckin’ ass

[Pasken 1309]

 

[Bozo_Casanova 26554]

That was loud as shit! It woke up my dog and I heard it over the sound of my bathroom fan 2.5 miles away.

[Native Horn 3515]

Was running at Town Lake Trail and thought Iran had counterpunched.  

[MAUFRAIS 6635]

My bad.

Punched out a load bearing ceiling tile.

[BrickHorn 18285]

That’s what that shit was?  Sounded like a big ass thunderclap.

[Deej 76923]

Adios, Tri Towers.

Pretty cool video. Do they evacuate the adjacent buildings when they are doing demolitions like this?

[miguelito 11312]

FYI, that cloud billowing out after the demolition is actually cedar pollen.

haven't been inside a room at towers recently.  last time i was in a room at the castilian was 3 years ago.  that place is so nasty.

If you can get past the floors stained with cheap whiskey and semen, it's actually pretty nice. 

[AUS-97HORN 11823]

yeah i heard the clap, clap rumble and wondered what it was, but not too concerned, figured someone in my neighborhood  thread would freak the fuck out and demand answers.....

 

was disappointed,  not a peep on the white people freakout site.

after about 3 hours someone posted the towers demo video... then everyone started chiming in wondering what that noise was at 8:30

Are you sure it’s not dried jizz residue?

It seems lot of non-students are moving into West Campus. I know two people in their 40's renting condos because it's close enough to downtown. That can't be helping the prices. 

Why would anybody not going to UT (or ACC) want to live in West Campus?

As I said, close to downtown where they work and cheaper (not by much, I assume, but cheaper) than downtown.

Man, I'd have to be only recently-removed from the student population to live around a bunch of students. Don't get me wrong -- I loved my time in WC. But my 47-year-old ass would be shaking my fist at the clouds telling everybody to get off my (non-existent) lawn if I tried to live amongst them nowadays.

Oh, I agree.  Just pointing out a reason why one might chose to do so.

[Somnio 751]

Austin needs a West Campus type district for non-students.  A place we can throw up a bunch of 18 story non-luxury apartment buildings.  A place near downtown, where you can comfortably live without a car, and yet not pay $1800+ for a 1 bedroom.

East Riverside is the most likely location for such a place, especially after the approval of "Domain on Riverside", and Oracle's continuing expansion.

I lived in the yellow building next door as a junior. Being that close to Abel's and over 21 was good times. RIP Towers.
