Montrose1100 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 You could say that was Houston, or Dallas (if it whern't for the skyline) or any other city in the world... Because every city may have good parts, but they will always have bad parts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Every city has its own unique flavor of grits, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCity Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Oh, of course, every city has its "grit." I think its actually kind of cool. Any town that has a hair salon called "shear happiness" must be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbaNerd Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Yeah. Rennovated grit is cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzerain Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 That is all East of I-35...literally the other side of the tracks in Austin. It is night and day when you cross I-35 heading east. I know land values over there have been increasing though.I know the City owns a lot of land over there and they are trying to come up with to develop the land without experiencing extreme gentrification. I read something sometime some of their plans would require approval from the Legislature to implement. That was about a year ago. I have not run across any more information on this topic though.With the development of the airport to the North of this property, I think this land will become more sought after and will attract more investment. It will be interesting to see how the City handles these issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't make up excuses everywhere they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
