Bought on the east side before it was a thing. Watched the whole street turn over. Not bitter, just keeping receipts.

Been here long enough to remember when Manor Rd was quiet.

• ACL 2026 at Zilker: two weekends, Charli XCX, Lorde, Twenty One Pilots

  Weekend two tends to be the calmer of the two, and the lineup is close enough that you are not giving much up.

• Young Thug and The New Generation Tour hits Moody Sept 30

  Check the entry rules on the listing before you go, a 7:00 PM start does not mean doors at 7:00 PM.

• Young Thug and The New Generation Tour hits Moody Sept 30

  Second big Moody show inside of a week with Rise Against on the 23rd. Waterloo Park is earning its keep this month.

• First human West Nile case of the year confirmed in Travis County

  This comes around every year and every year people act surprised. Drain the water. That is the whole trick.

• Amazon robotics plant going into the Dog's Head area of East Austin

  Newly annexed area off Hergotz and Dalton lanes. If you know where Hergotz runs, you are basically there.

  Fair enough. Post pictures when one shows up on East Riverside and I will stop being a jerk about it.

• Amazon robotics plant going into the Dog's Head area of East Austin

  Not that I have seen. Just the site, the acreage, what it builds, and the job range.

• Amazon robotics plant going into the Dog's Head area of East Austin

  Multi billion dollar Amazon manufacturing facility is going in as the anchor for the newly annexed piece of East Austin they are calling Dog's Head. Off Hergotz and Dalton lanes. Roughly 300 acres. They will be building advanced robotics systems, the kind meant to help warehouse workers with heavy lifting and the repetitive stuff. I have driven past Hergotz a thousand times. Never thought that is where this would land.

  End of August is nine days away. I will believe the timeline when I am standing next to one.

• City tax rate is the highest it has been in ten years under the new budget

  8,172 median. My first mortgage payment was less than what a month of that works out to now.

• First hog hunt near Austin, where should I actually book?

  Third option nobody has said yet. Independence Ranch out in Waelder, about an hour southeast. That is the budget one. Groups, bachelor parties, guys going out solo, they take all of it. Walk and stalk, night hunts, and they have a swampy dark section they call the Honey Hole that is supposed to hold the big ones. Packages start around 149 for a three hour hunt, 250 for a full day, and they scale up to multi day with meals and lodging.

• PBR Gambler Days at Moody Center in August

  Every time there is an event on campus people act like it is a brand new problem. Traffic around there has been bad on Friday nights for thirty years. Leave early or do not go.

• Anyone heading to the 2026 TXSFL Redemption Bowl & All-Star Game at Nelson Field?

  They never list everything this far out. Just show up at 3:00 PM on August 15 and drink water.

  Nelson Field is fine. Used to be quieter around there before everything got built up. At least independent football brings some actual activity to the stadium.
