The idea was simple. Take existing hotel rooms in Austin and turn them into apartments for people experiencing homelessness. It would be quick and cheap, elected officials said. However, opening Pecan Gardens was anything but. l8r.it/34M8

As summer nears its natural end, we will also have to say "see you later" to more than a million of the city's best ambassadors: the Mexican free-tailed bats. Join us for one of the last watch parties of the season. l8r.it/0n4j

A series of groups including Texas Freedom Network are speaking out against instructional materials the Texas State Board of Education is considering approving for use in public school classrooms. Texas Freedom Network says the K-5 reading materials inappropriately include Bible stories.

If you live anywhere in the vacinity of the Longhorn Dam you may be wondering what that rhythmic clanging sound is echoing around. I was! It appears to be pile driving work, presumably for the new "Wishbone Bridge" project.

Every city among the top-10 most populous U.S. cities provides crime clearance rates in some form, at No. 11, Austin does not. After KUT News asked (...) "APD said it will begin publicizing those numbers." More stellar reporting from Andrew England Weber kut.org/crime-justice/…

The new "Arrivals and Departures Hall" would house ticketing counters, domestic baggage pickup, concessions like stores and restaurants. The A/D Hall would be located where the Red Garage is now. A new multilevel parking facility would be constructed behind the Blue Garage.
