Mass casualty building collapse in Miami
And quite a few of those condos, and their interests in the land, are mortgaged. It's a pricy beachside project, so maybe not all, but I bet over 50% of them have mortgages that will be in front of any judgment claims against the land.

Burgers
Like just about anyplace, the thing with fries is you have to eat them hot (and sometimes when dining in you need to eat them first; I'm looking at you, Pluckers). So you can't get them to go (unless you eat them in the car on the way home with the bag of burgers). Dan's (curly fries), C&A and Hill-Bert's all have great fries for dine in, imo.

Mob tries to thwart foreclosure sales of prime Austin land controlled by World Class; 'I was scared' https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2021/06/01/disruption-at-courthouse-during-world-class-sales.html?ana=e_aus_bn_breakingnews_breakingnews&j=90561743&t=Breaking News&mkt_tok=NjczLVVXWS0yMjkAAAF9aHVDiqTgOw7R6PAHE1Op3E3a1p8LU7ThhhMPS1_DLWedBSJuzHla7o3A2Po7_gn8aDY5Kn4yR0Tiav5SpYeyPmyRqTCIEuN27NET0AODQGXN6Cs- Dessert
Give me your places for best desserts in Austin. Wife and I are going downtown to Trulucks for our 32nd anniversary tomorrow. It’s pretty much an annual thing because it’s a restaurant that we both like a lot. But they don’t have desserts. Not going tomorrow but Chez Zee is one of my favorites.- Pizza
- Places to eat on the Austin-Denver drive?
Anyone ever eaten at George’s in Post? Looks like we’ll be hitting that area right around dinner time and it gets the top rating in town- 2021 Rain Thread

He's graduating with a degree from McCombs. He can make bank a number of ways. Very smart young man.- Downtown Projects
I've heard it called "future-proofing" by Genlser (designing a garage with flat floorplates and slightly taller floor-to-floor heights so it can become the framework of future occupiable space).- Austin Nostalgia Picture Thread

My dentist's office for going on 25 years is next door to the east. I used to sit there getting my teeth cleaned and watch you guys mildly haze your pledges on sunny afternoons.- Overrated Austin restaurants?
The old school nachos are worth the trip. And folks complaining about Maudies enchiladas (i.e., @jimmyjazz) better not ever complain about the demise of Dart Bowl and (almost) Enchiladas y Mas! hehe- Top Date Night Spots
Wife and I are Staying at my sister in law’s condo at the Cambridge this weekend. Planning on walking downtown for dinner. Give me your options for outside dining. JW Marriot is an option but a bit of a walk. Anything closer to the Capitol complex?- Proposed Unrealized Capital Gains Tax
If the values decline (e.g., bear market) do you get to use the loss to reduce taxable income or is this heads you win, tails I lose?- Kamala Harris 2020
Title of sub-forum itself. Cloak Room The largest political forum in the great state of Texas.- Kamala Harris 2020
Rarely post in CR, but have a question and thought I'd see if other posters had an opinion (since this is the largest political forum in Texas). If something happens to Biden and Harris becomes POTUS under the 25th Amendment, she would be entitled to appoint a new VP subject to confirmation by a majority of both Houses of Congress. So if that happens, the Republicans of course would never vote to confirm a VP and it would remain vacant so that they could deny the Democrats the majority in the Senate. Is that correct, or is there another method to break ties in the Senate in that event?- Burgers
Got my second shot at AISD Performing Arts in Mueller. So I hit up the sole remaining Hill-Bert's for a jalapeno cheeseburger and homemade onion rings. Forgot how good that place is and the owner is a hell of a nice guy. Need to make a special trip up that way more often.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
auto-fill was probably the wrong term. We prebuy 300 gallons at current prices with an agreement that they bring us propane when it drops below a certain point. For 15 years that's been the deal. We've never used 300 gallons in a year. Sometimes we make money on the deal, sometimes they do. Our normal delivery guy Ray (who've I've given football tickets to) would have taken care of us because he would stop by periodically and check levels. But 2 years ago they went to some algorithm formula and not periodic checks. So they fucked up and found out. And we're paying for it, even though we paid for it. In summary. Fuck Pinnacle Propane.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
You aren't wrong. But at the same time, I paid extra for an auto-fill and locked in for 300 gallons less than 2 months ago. They (Pinnacle Propane) also saw this coming. Put it this way. I prepared financially for this storm. They didn't. Edit to say: And further in my defense, we contacted them early yesterday when I was winterizing everything (covering up faucets) and checked the tank- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Come to find out that my "auto-fill" contract, prepaid mind you, with Pinnacle Propane means that it's not really "auto-fill". Checked my level early yesterday and noticed it was 15% (they're supposed to refill before it gets to 20%). Called and they said that they would get someone out this morning. Of course, they canceled this morning and won't be here until sometime late this week I'm sure. So, in short, I had to call to get a tank filled that was on a PREPAID auto-fill contract, I'll likely run out within the next 4 days, during which I'll only be running my thermostat at 60 degrees, and Fuck Pinnacle Propane.- 2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Just got back from my marina on Lake Austin. About half the boats previously on lifts are now floating in the water in their slips as the owners try see if the lake water will be warm enough to keep their engine blocks from cracking. Nobody winterizes their boats anymore since 2 weeks ago it was 85 degrees and surf weather. - World Class Holdings offices raided
