Historical Commission Panel City of Austin, Public Discussion, GVM attendee reporter notes @ 12.14.2022 Meeting

Things to know. These HISTORICAL Commission City of Austin Panel, Discussion meetings are usually held 1x per month. They are FREE to attend and open to the Public. They are held Downtown in the City of Austin's swanky modern municipal building. Parking is free down below in the garage with meeting attendance validation.

Things I learned @ this specific meeting.

I really miss the City of Austin's lead preservation Steve Sadowsky. (rest in peace) His enthusiasm, moderation, thoughtfulness, integrity and importance he brought to the preservation "pitch" is sorely missed.

2nd. The Famous PEASE MANSION of Old Enfield, was privately sold recently and the new ownership is unknown, even to Emily Little Architects who gained YES permission to do a new addition to the side of the home and build a pool on the side as well.

The neighborhood residences and homes covered included Austin "brand name" neighborhoods I know intimately; Old Enfield, Clarskville, Bouldin, Hyde Park, Holly, Travis Heights.

Lastly, maybe it was the late afternoon coffee, but I was genuinely interested and enjoyed listening open mindedly to all sides for the 2-2.5 hours.

The City of Austin Historical Commission Chair is currently Ms. Terri Myers. The panel consists of 11 members

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

Keeping Up with ATX local and Real Estate Broker George Vance McGee....

So GVM, how are you feeling these days? What is the married, family man, new dad lifestyle? Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, despite my youthful glow and aura, I'm now "over the hill" at 42 years of age. Physically I still feel pretty darn good. I try to cycle often on the hike and bike trail of lady bird lake. I've even bought a bicycle rack for my 2010 Nissan Rogue SUV. As a Real Estate Industry person, I apologize if my lack of a Range Rover or Mercedes Benz car ownership doesn't suffice. In regards to health, being a newborn dad will really sober you up. Coffee has long since replaced booze in my blood system. When you routinely wake up circa 7:00 am to hug your baby daughter, change her diaper, feed her, have playtime and then drive her to daycare/preschool you need to feel healthy, rested and alert. 1 thing I do miss as a responsible married family man, is the carefree, outgoing, live music and bar hopping nightlife of Austin, Texas. Let's be hone...
