Plans to build Austin’s largest downtown hotel are apparently back on the table, according to reports.
White Lodging Corp. said last year it would shelve plans for a 1,000-room, $185-million Marriott hotel on Congress Avenue and Second Street. But an Austin American-Statesman report quoted officials saying construction will begin in about nine months.

If you want to live close to all that downtown Austin has to offer and you don’t want to give up on the idea of having some peace and quiet, consider the Milago.
At other downtown condos, you’re always reminded you’re in the urban jungle: the concrete, the construction, the streetlights, the garbage trucks, music from the bars, even the grackles at night that require you to cover your head on a short walk. No worries like that at the Milago.
The price per square foot and HOA dues are very reasonable. …

With dozens upon dozens of days without a drop of precipitation or respite from 100+ degree oppression, Austin is hot. Lovers of nightlife, motorcycles, music, movies, art, gaming, county’s best bbq and sushi, public schools, highways, bikepaths, pet freindly policies… you get it, Austin is popular (hot and popular being interchangeable American slang… wordplay is more fun when it doesn’t have to be explained). But these days it’s just hot. No euphemisms, no winks, just sweating like an Olympic weightlifter on a lift he didn’t make.
While there were firework bans …
