I thought it was funny and was just amusing him the whole time. But your comment reminded me of it lol.

Anyways, haven't been on here for a good while. I think I have a lot of catching up to do!
I sometimes wonder at what kinds of experiences that some of these people have while here that give them such a negative view of the city because the overwhelming amount of people I meet visiting like and enjoy Austin. Sure there are those who don't but we can't please everyone now can we I'm just curious if it's more about their experiences here or if they just have an automatic bias against the city for whatever reason. I can understand such sentiments about Texas as a whole but Austin is very different from the rest of the state.


Anywho back on topic... Who can give a rough estimate of when they think the Fairmont will rise out of its hole?
