 Listener Review, "I just watched Geo II on Friends in Austin. I intended to watch only a few minutes. Instead, I watched the whole damn thing. I would have known he was your son even if I had no clue. I especially loved his line about the Drag: “It’s gone from hippie bums to actual bums.”  You can’t ask for a more blunt and pertinent assessment." David Brooks

 This is a massing of the 6th & Lamar (Waterloo Records site) residential project based on the Planning Commission approved zoning. The original plans before a compromise was reached with the local neighborhood association called for a building 31' and two or three floors taller.
