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 ...

I got up early and went = ESPN's Live College Football Gameday Show @ University of Texas - Austin Fall 2024

 I awoke circa 5:30 am this past Saturday, took a shower, grabbed a quick bite to eat and coffee@ QT; then rode my moped down to the University of Texas, South Lawn or "6-pack" area to view the LIVE ESPN taping and broadcast show, COLLEGE GAMEDAY. When I arrived on campus at 6 am it was still dark and there were plenty of fans already there. The actual LIVE College Gameday Show started at 8 am Central Time. We as fans are simply backdrop visuals and noise for the show. There were tons of fans signs, almost too many to even read. All of the On-Air TV Talent was friendly and excellent! Desmond Howard, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee, Kirk Herbstreet, and Nick Saban. Pat McAfee is the "get the home crowd revved up" talent, which is needed for the live show. Overall it was quite entertaining and free to attend. It'll get your Saturday juiced up. https://promo.espn.com/collegegameday/
