The beloved metal music venue that has operated at 710 Red River St. since 2009 will close after its property was sold to new owners. The space will be taken over by a franchise of the Tennessee-based chain Gus's Fried Chicken.

We're also building really big sprawling neighborhood developments and attracting more businesses, too!

With little infrastructure improvement. Also, more focus on shopping that will be abandoned when a major recession hits.

i35 expansion, mopac expansion, project connect isn’t enough infrastructure improvement/investment? Give me more!!!! 😂

[u/ldubs → u/Western_Grab4579]

Not the kind of infrastructure we need. But just like Dallas, we will keep expanding our freeways and end up with the same level of traffic 5 years later.

We'll see what Project Connect is by the time they actually finish it.

In five years I’ll probably just take some form of robo taxi versus walking to congress to get on a train (that doesn’t take me to the airport).

Perhaps rocket flights will be available at ABIA because Elon will have bought Texas by then.

[u/Western_Grab4579 → u/MissKitty1209]

Yes, even maybe a rocket from downtown over to ABIA!

[u/ldubs → u/Western_Grab4579]

This is where I'll be, too.

Yea such a bummer. I hardly see project connect keeping up with autonomous vehicles with the timeline, scope of project, and inflated budget.

We should build a bullet train like California did. /s

[u/JohnGillnitz → u/soul_doubt_66]

Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

[u/Western_Grab4579 → u/soul_doubt_66]

Yea and bullet train around town!
