After a 4-year process, the City Council finally approved a comprehensive master plan for downtown Austin. The plan subdivides downtown -- defined as the area between the lake and MLK, I-35 and Lamar -- into 9 distinct areas with differentiated development and preservation plans.

The plan will guide downtown development for the next 10 years. The 200-page plan will cost an estimated $350 million to carry out, money that will need to be raised through bonds, fees, or partnerships with private developers.

Hi, everyone. Hope you’re enjoying the new October weather. We like to refer to this as Reading Weather, because it’s so much easier to be outside under a tree when you can wear a vest or a cardigan without sweating your balls (or lady-balls) off.

Performing original topical satire, mystifying magic & musical parody located in the heart of Austin's historic entertainment district!

Esther's Follies began as a by-product of a pool parlor, called Esther's Pool, on East Sixth Street April Fool's Day, 1977.

Conceived as a combination topical vaudeville/satirical musical comedy revue, Esther's Follies has grown to become the state's premier comedy complex, garnering national praise and a loyal following.
