  1. 1982 or so. The biggest clue to me is that the Erwin Center (1977) is there, the University Bank tower on 15th street (1981) is there, but the only tallish downtown towers are the Austin National Bank at 6th and Congress, the Golden Bank One tower on West 6th, and the old First City Bank at 9th and Congress. No One American Center, 100 Congress, 111 Congress, 301 Congress, etc., and I can't see any indication of clearing or site prep for those projects. Things have changed a bit since then!
  2. Maybe do a drive-by of Casa Bonita and show them internet vids of how cool it used to be?
  3. They should at least grab a pre-game burger and such at Adair's Saloon!
  4. They sell so much food there that it didn't even occur to me. Thanks.
  5. Sadly, it looks like you are correct. 21 or over after 9 pm. That sucks.
  6. Adair's Saloon in Deep Ellum isn't far from Fair Park. Usually pretty lively, good food, and maybe a Texas cultural experience for the friend from Italy. https://www.adairssaloon.com/
  7. Start fasting earlier than the instructions tell you to. And importantly, remember that Vodka is a clear liquid.
  8. But how about back when you where there, Brat?
  9. Pos rep for the Office Space reference and the fact that Lumbergh pos repped it first!
  10. Meet the "Denny's Condo Tower" -- perfect for hard-core Longhorn Baseball fans. https://austin.towers.net/meet-the-dennys-condo-tower-rising-18-floors-near-downtown-austin/?pro=caitlyn@towers.net
  11. We all have too much time on our hands. I hate the off-season.
  12. A family friend got kilt in Anchorage week before last while fishing with his wife. The perp bummed a cigarette from the deceased and then asked him for help with his fishing technique -- apparently unsuccessfully: Anchorage, Alaska (KINY) - An Anchorage grand jury this week returned an indictment charging a 17-year-old with multiple charges, including murder. https://www.kinyradio.com/news/news-of-the-north/anchorage-teen-indicted-for-june-murder-assaults/Anchorage teen indicted on murder, manslaughter, assault charges
  13. I love this. Such a great scene>
  14. That is a great pic. My earliest recollections of that location include barges dredging up sand and gravel from the river. That memory of mine must have been from around 1962/63. Remarkable to see so few trees. Add a couple (or 3 or 4) decades -- and the trees magically happen. And you can see the building that became Armadillo World Headquarters in the lower left of the pic! Good times.
  15. That whole relationship between Michael, the family, and the Senator is perfect. From the Lake Tahoe meeting, to the brothel scene, and then the Senate hearing -- perfection.
