jazzbo Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 For all my state government experience (21 plus years now) I've worked between five and six blocks from the Capitol building. Part of the new extension: Quote
jazzbo Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I literally looked out my office window and walked past the construction of this building every day as it was being built: The Bob Bullock Texas History Museum Quote
jazzbo Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 One of my very very very favorite places, the sort of garden courtroom of the restaurant Fonda San Miguel: Quote
jazzbo Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Outside the Paramount, ye goode ole theater. Quote
Free For All Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) Lon, you're making me homesick for Austin. I loved Fonda San Miguel! I saw Miles and Metheny at the Paramount. I always liked that Capitol building (even if I didn't agree w/what was going on inside ). The Texas Museum looks beautiful. I need to find an excuse to go visit my friends in Austin (it's been awhile since I was there- maybe 7-8 years). Perhaps it's time to lobby for a gig at the Elephant Club..... I need me some Texas BBQ and some good Tex-Mex. Damn. Thanks for posting those great pics! Edited June 8, 2005 by Free For All Quote
jazzbo Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Glad I could help! Maybe you could stay at the Days Inn! Quote
Free For All Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 I remember playing at the Driskill a few times- that's as close as I came to staying there. Very nice and very $$$$. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 Why live in Austin when you can luxurate in downtown, Worksop. (note blood on pavements from last night's fights). Quote
couw Posted June 8, 2005 Report Posted June 8, 2005 (note blood on pavements from last night's fights). ← and note the whole street being tilted to the East. It's because the music shoppe is on the left hand side and Bev lives on the right hand side. And because of gravity of course. Quote

B. Goren. Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Whether you call it Bauhaus or International Style architecture, Tel Aviv is still the only city in the world that houses such a large collection of buildings designed in this style. It evolved in Germany in the 1920's, came to an abrupt end (in Germany) with the Nazi's rise to power and continued to develop in the U.S. and elsewhere. In Tel Aviv of the 1930's, Bauhaus architecture flourished, as is evidenced by many of the wonderful buildings that line the city's streets. Since the initial publication of this issue, the "White City of Tel Aviv" has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Quote

Tel-Aviv is an amazing city. Please refresh my memory, why you are coming to Tel-Aviv on Friday night??? What can you do in Jerusalem on friday evening? Visit the western wall??? The great cultural atmosphere and the night life, this is the real beauty. There is only one beautiful thing in Jerusalem: The road to Tel-Aviv... Friday night in Tel-Aviv: Jemeel Moondoc: Quote
White Lightning Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Not on Friday night, but on Friday afternoon: an anonymous lass (well, it's Einat, my wife) Quote
