  History of the Continental Club 1955-Present All is right in Austin when Steve Wertheimer's club is pumpin' MICHAELCORCORAN MAY 4   SHARE   This is the latest in our series of 10 Austin music venues open at least 30 years. In the 1930s it was home to Spears BBQ Kitchen, then became a washers-only Half Hour Laundry in 1947. The Continental Club opened there in 1955 as a swanky private club featuring lounge acts with Vegas dreams. It was later a topless bar and day drinkers dive. But the 1315 address of South Congress wouldn’t be a magic number until the ‘80s when it became a black box clubhouse for a new generation of local alternative guitar groups like True Believers, Zeitgeist, Wild Seeds, Doctors’ Mob, Dharma Bums, T.I. and Glass Eye, as well as van-touring bands like the Minutemen, Replacements, Sonic Youth, 10,000 Maniacs and so on. This new Austin scene was born in ‘83 in a manger upstairs from a mechanic’s garage on Justin Lane called Sparky's. Open only a few mo...

  Hey ASM Crew-   This little analysis may help your renters get off the rent fence. You can either click the link below or hit the QR code—same presentation.   The comparison:   renting at $2500/mo + renters insurance + misc fees (pets, parking space, etc). It also assumes a 3% savings rate for their money   Versus   buying a $400K home with 3 options: 5% down conventional, 10% down conventional and FHA (3.5% down). It also assumes a property appreciation rate of 4% and the income tax bracket (for tax savings).   Results: At the end of the day, with the tax write offs, owning is > $300/mo cheaper than renting. Look at the tax benefits over 5yrs. Around $55K in write offs! Remember, renters pay 100% interest (or $516K on this) vs $320K to $340K in interest and MI over that period. WOW!   Link:  https://mcedge.tv/8z1tvq       I’d love to come to a staff meeting to run through this with you!   Joel     Thank you...
