NEW: @KUTnathan with some bonkers new details on the "debacle" of the new Zilker mini-train.
Depending on who you believe, the new train is either a lemon or the new operators of the ride broke it.

this @nytimes story has me wondering if there’s an equivalent of the “Denver FUGLY” FB group for Austin. People seem up in arms over this market-driven apartment aesthetic. Does it matter in region struggling with rental inventory? https://t.co/N6tHAR2haz
My latest for @MyABJ ($): The way that some in economic development spheres look at it, working to lure companies to come to Central Texas is a lot like handiwork. You strap on your tool belt and use whatever you need that's in it to complete the job. https://t.co/oQ0Tt3CXeP

Today Austin bids adios to Rob Lippincott, inspiration and owner of the iconic Guero’s Taco Bar. He passed away peacefully at home last night, surrounded by family.
Vaya Con Dios, Mi amigo. You are loved.
Interesting insight from an Austin #cre insider. Austin has seen a lot of professional services growth because of its wider economic boom: law firms, investment managers, etc, setting up shop here. I wonder if that can sustain leasing activity as tech giants get skittish.
Multiple client tours this week & everyone is a professional services firm. Those groups will get us through this crazy market! Law firms, engineering firms, etc..They are very active right now! Are other #cre or #retwit brokers seeing the same thing? #cre#office#relocation
Fencing has gone up around the Hobby building. Cat marking utilities outside told me the state has abandoned the complex and put up the barricades to keep out homeless people. #keshetgram
