There have been a number of firms in the 50,000- to 100,000-square-foot range that are seeking office space in the Loop 360 corridor, and the largest block of (existing) space in Southwest Austin is 40,000 square feet.

Here's a 3,300 square foot footprint of a house with a pool and patio.

You have to ask yourself if it's really smart to leave a 160,000-square-foot facility open at all times to anyone.

You know those two-foot downhill putts with a break? I'd rather see a rattlesnake.

We now occupy the proud attitude of a sovereign and independent Republic, which will impose upon us the obligation of evincing to the world that we are worthy to be free.

I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.
