The city's soul is being sold to soulless investors, one condo at a time. Remember when Red River Street was a place to get weird, not a place to get a sweet deal on a one-bedroom apartment?

Comedic Austin nostalgia satire. We remember when this town was weird for free.
This is satire. We love Austin — even the parts we complain about. All characters are fictional composites. No tech bros were harmed in the making of this website.
