I arrived in the evening of July 8 - Saturday Night. I did not take many pictures that night - I was more interested in enjoying the new cityscape that I approached by bicycle from San Antonio a couple of days prior.
It looked like this guy had a needle sticking out of his arm and he was sleeping in the kneeling position. He is across the street from the civic theater, and the sidewalk wraps around a huge lawn that is across the Colorado River from downtown Austin; and this is where Austin City Limits concerts are staged. It is a very picturesque cityscape.
The small building in the middle to the left are the offices of Silicon Labs, and then what is kind of hard to see is the City Hall, and then a parking garage with first-floor retail. All three buildings have the same stonework. It is obvious that Silicon Labs is the primary smart city planner for Austin.
And it appears that they built a neighborhood for tech company employees and municipal offices. Not a bad idea. This is a typical shop in the Silicon Labs neighborhood, and it seems to be getting ready for the Barbie Movie that will be at the cinema across the street.
Almost didn't see it how they kind of hid the entrance in the middle of the block of first-floor retail stores.
There are no McDonalds, BurgerKings, Popeyes, TacoBell, or any fast food national chain, in the downtown area, except.
Interesting. A closed-on-Sunday conservative food shop is allowed in the liberal haven neighborhood of downtown Austin.
And that is a delivery robot. There are vehicle robots that patrol around the State Capitol Building at night. I don't have any pictures yet.
And there is a lot of building construction going on - huge buildings!
On the other side of downtown they are putting this giant spike into the ground!
The building to the right is an old housing project - and that will probably come down in a couple of decades. Yeah, you see; they don't show it in the architectural vision.
Things are definitely building in Austin. Smart City.
Notice Silicon Labs office building and City Hall in the background, again. This is the bathroom for the giant lawn.
