Second Street District


So with the new development going up across the street from my apartment on South Congress, I've been thinking about "hip" developments. Like what the f' is up with the 2nd Street District. I drove through it today and it is not a district, it is a block. I mean the level of fabrication is pretty repulsive, for example look at one of their marketing images - a little too contrived for my tastes.

Is the pedestrian really going to be king? I can't believe that that could be true *anywhere* in Austin.

Also, this guy looks like any Strokes-reject East Village guy circa 2001.

I just realize that what's sad about the Strokes is that they're so over that it's not even funny to make fun of them anymore.

i strongly dislike the banners they have slapped up around the 2nd street crap... those should be reserved for winter holidays and maybe marathons.
