February 14, 20241 yr I drove past there on the way to dinner. I swear every cop car, ambulance, and fire truck in the city were in the parking lot. And, you're going to be shocked by this, but Mopac was backed up for miles. Are we assuming someone was having a heart attack and tried to drive themselves to the ER?That’s my thought, but they haven’t provided much other than the driver is dead and several were transported to other hospitals.
February 14, 20241 yr My Jr UT Nursing student (no pics) has an "externship" (whatever the hell that is) at St. David's North in....the Emergency Department. She has only gone through orientation so far but her first 7am-7pm shift is this Sunday. Should be interesting.
February 14, 20241 yr Based on this video sounds and looks like the gas is just being laid on by whoever crashed
February 14, 20241 yr Jeez. Man my brother texted me (he works there and at other Austin hospitals) and he’d just left through that same entrance ten minutes before. Jeez.
February 14, 20241 yr Mayhem! Good grief that kid they were passing around will probably never go to the doctor again without trauma.

She ruined a lot of lives in that neighborhood. Can you (or anyone else familiar) elaborate on this some more? I grew up nearby and was about 12 years old when it closed down, which was one of my first conscious WTF moments in life. I remember my Dad telling me about the evil veggie lady, but my childhood brain could not make sense of why someone would purposefully wreck something that everyone else enjoyed so much. We used to have breakfast there most weekends, I remember there was an cool old lady who was one of the servers (I think Sally maybe was her name?). Also a very underrated CFS in addition to the burgers and other staple items.

The property has been in her family since her ancestor Elisha Pease was governor. She is a vegan and values animals and didn’t renew the leases of all businesses that profited from their suffering. This included neighborhood staples Holiday House, The Grocery, Formosa, and Texas French Bread. Her management (handled by Adler’s wife) eventually led to Tarrytown Pharmacy and Broaddus Chevron voluntarily leaving. She was supposedly unpopular when she was a student at Austin high back in the day. She is rumored to give favorable leases to animal friendly establishments in the complex, such as vegan brewpub the beer plant, Austin pets alive, and the now closed rabbit food grocery (phone number 666-TOFU). She’s a fuckin’ dumb cunt and I’ll have a huge cheeseburger the day I hear she’s finally croaked.

February 14, 20241 yr Quote Besides, she might have added, she’s willing to inconvenience herself too for the greater good. In 2002, for instance, she ripped the leather off the seats of her brand-new, $92,000 Mercedes-Benz CL500 and sent it to PETA, which had activists in cow suits personally deliver the shreds to DaimlerChrysler’s corporate offices in Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Stuttgart, Germany. Glad to see she made sure those cows didn't die needlessly.

February 14, 20241 yr The world is full of insufferable cunts, but it doesn't matter much until they inherit a shitload of money. I assume PETA will take ownership of the real estate when she's gone?

February 14, 20241 yr Now that I look at it and think about it, I think those are from when it was the short lived vegetarian place after holiday house. Nouveau?Holiday house had all that cowboy shit all over the walls. Like Spurs and brands and whatnot.

Airport Blvd location with the awesome fish tank, Burnet Road with emus, and of course Charlie the alligator on Barton Springs. Fun times as a kid.

Yeah, I dunno what the fuck we're talking about anymore on here and it's certainly not gonna win any Michelin Stars. But I've given that vegan gastropub or whatever the fuck pretentious nomenclature they use a few chances and it's pretty damn good. I haven't been there sober yet, but it was really good and the staff was cool and easy parking and all that. Or maybe we're all just fucking idiots and haven't noticed a connection between the delicious "meat-free" dishes there and the decreasing lack of dogs next door at that boarding/grooming place. DON'T ORDER THE SCHNITZEL FOLKS, THEY'RE USING SCHNAUZER! /winger
February 14, 20241 yr Maybe it was informative earlier and I missed it, but this news conference currently taking place is hilarious. The dork in the bow tie has no business being up there, and the Public Information Officer answered 6 straight questions with “I/We do not know”. The sole function of a PIO is to disseminate information [emoji2357]
February 14, 20241 yr A few years ago bozo blamed me for being a Bob and Todd fan because I said that the "official" homeless count from the CoA was obvious bullshit. https://www.fox7austin.com/news/austin-homeless-population-estimates-data-texas AUSTIN, Texas - New data shows a much larger homeless population in Austin than previously estimated. According to Austin ECHO, a January 2023 point-in-time count indicated a homeless population of about 2,300 people. The Austin Homeless Strategy office presented new data from ECHO in which the non-profit estimated in October there were about 6,600 homeless people in the city.
February 14, 20241 yr Okay. I'm trying to follow here..... As I understand things, Nicole is opening a Michelin-starred restaurant that specializes in sea bass, but it's solely for the purpose of luring in victims for her serial killing spree, which won't do anything to address a homeless population that's 3X the previously disclosed size, and we're not gonna have ANYPLACE left to go bowling? And nobody seems to know what to get Millie and Jimmy for their wedding present? What the actual fuck?
February 14, 20241 yr Well uh, candlesticks always make a nice gift. Or an instrument with which to inflict blunt force trauma upon a victim before tossing their body into a lake. Holy shit. It was Miss Nicole in the Michelin Dining Room with the Candlestick.

February 15, 20241 yr Nobody is looking forward to an apartment building on the site of Highland Lanes that will be an even bigger eyesore than Highland Lanes in 10 or 15 years?
February 15, 20241 yr Well, Highland Lanes is pretty damn ugly. It also has a giant parking lot. What I don't understand, because I'm not a com-RE dude or an investor of any type, is why not integrate some lanes and a divey restaurant into your new "mixed-use" development? I assume the answer is that bowling doesn't bring the $ per sq foot, but if it's part of the ground level and serves a need, well, maybe not be a complete generic shitbag developer? I guess the world needs more juice bars and tanning salons.
