    They have started working on the curbs on the eastern portion of Fairview and I guess moving westward. If they do like the work on Hawthorne St. they do the curbs first and then will do the repaving project after they finish with those.

    Tower crane is going up. I met the tower crane operator who will be operating it. He was the tower crane operator at the Allen project on the taller of the two cranes.

    I counted 5 concrete trucks thinking they might be doing a mat pour but it turns out they are just filling the piers support columns.

    Thumbs Down: Watching Austin grow up is a bit like watching a pimply, unkempt, squat teen magically transform into a pimply, unkempt, lanky teen — truly wondrous. Until one day the lanky teen surpasses his elder brother and starts thinking highly of himself, maybe too highly. That, folks, is the case in the People’s Republic of Austin, where a smallish college town once happy to be known for its live music, its socialist sympathies and its disheveled weirdness has turned corporate, capitalist and downright uppity. Literally. Breaking ground this week is a downtown skyscraper — a 74-story, mixed-use high-rise — that is expected to surpass Houston’s 1,002-foot-high Chase Tower by a whopping 20 feet when it’s finished in 2026, and thereby slam the door on Houston’s reign as the city with the tallest tower in Texas. Height, of course, isn’t everything — unless you’re a hetero male looking to draw clicks on a popular dating app. There are other measures of a city’s maturity, like infrastructure and mobility, that are bringing Austin great growing pains. After decades of succumbing to the “if we don’t build it, they won’t come,” mantra, Austin found out the hard way they’d come anyway, even if they had to live on the center lane of I-35. The city’s natural beauty, its forever-rocking music scene, and its welcoming, Prozac vibe still portend a bright future, judging by Austin’s eternally hot real estate market. Clearly, it has nowhere to go but up!

    He butchers reading the teleprompter as much as his dad did. Luckily I don't watch the morning news program.

    I created topic about this improvement project to the cemetery but searching for it has been like looking for a ghost 👻. I guess someone buried it 🪦 "The central focus of the improvements is a 12,000-square-foot facility that will house administration offices, cemetery archives and a gathering space with a catering kitchen that will be able to accommodate up to 150 people. The future Center for Glenwood will be built in place of an old maintenance facility near the entrance that was relocated and rebuilt. Both buildings will provide parking. Construction is expected to begin next year on the cemetery center, which was designed by Dillon Kyle Architects." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/Glenwood-Cemetery-prepares-for-its-next-life-15660768.php

    So far it seems like they are redoing the curbs, gutters and sidewalks and will then strip the existing asphalt and repave it like the did west of Montrose St.

    They are doing the repair work on Fairview right now. From Montrose to Genesee St. It started about 2 weeks ago.

    I've been by this building before due to the cool murals on the outside of it but it was always on a Sunday so it was closed. Big Dawg Customs, he invited me in to check them out. https://www.instagram.com/big_dawg_customs/
