In April of 2008, developers announced a 4-story, 27 unit development on Barton Springs just east of Lamar adjacent to the train tracks, McDonalds, and Peter Pan Mini Golf.

With pricing starting at $1,000,000, our original reaction was that "the project is a very odd combination of location and pricing that suggests a lack of experience in residential development." At the high end, the units were priced at $900 / SF making this the most expensive development in Austin.

Join us to celebrate June 7th -- exactly 20 years ago over 1,000 citizens showed up at City Hall to protest the "Barton Creek PUD" -- how far have we come?  What do we need to do to insure Barton Springs is preserved for future generations?  We will meet at City Hall in the lobby for a reception and then move into the council chambers for a presentation, showing of video highlights of the 1990 hearing, panel discussions and 3 minute speak outs for Barton Springs.

(this is NOT transportation related! Skip if so inclined).

During my first year at A Company, I worked with one other developer, who, although in Austin, wasn't physically co-located.

Because we didn't have an office. There were 2 of us in Austin; he worked in his house; I worked in my garage.

(Like the Fonz!).
