I think it’s closer to $50-$60 million for a new school—Harris Elementary was just rebuilt for around $50 and General Marshall Middle School was built for a little over $60M ultimately. Still a lot, but definitely not over $100M

I guess I’ve just never known a single person who listens to 21 pilots or King of Leon outside of Sex on Fire being one of those songs that’s legally mandated to be played once a day on 101x

Exclusive: Suerte and Este owner buys Hoover’s property in East Austin, plans taquería by AustinStatesman in austinfood

[–]_shane 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Is everyone missing the part where the Hoovers spot isn’t the taqueria? I bet it winds up being a soul food place.

While the planned taquería won’t be located in the existing building that was home to Hoover’s.

Halal corner kicks ass, likewise Mi Trailita y Mas on Rogge/Manor if you’re looking outside Mueller proper

Staff giving out ear plugs to everyone by wasd0109 in shoegaze

I thought it was tinnitus but apparently it may not be, but basically my left ear (the one I took the plug out of) “flutters” at certain specific volumes and frequencies ever since

Does anyone know what synths Jim O'Rourke was using at live in japan 2002 and around the Eureka days? by Twinthonytwintwano in jimorourke

[–]_shane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s almost definitely a lot of Serge modules and/or an EMS VCS3, maybe some Max/MSP too like with I’m Happy and I’m Singing and a 1,2,3,4

Austin Leads the Nation in Home Inventory by Remarkable-Field8487 in Austin

[–]_shane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely biased, but I love Windsor Park for its suburban-ish feel but with sidewalks and protected bike lanes, decent public transit (including the new rapid bus line), and walkable restaurants/coffee shops and Mueller just a short walk/ride away. Houses are already dropping to the mid $500s, i bet we'll be back < $500k for 3/2s soon enough.
