So I decided I should finally check out "The Triangle" and the "Central Park" by Central Market. So I biked over there, after first biking by the post office to drop off my netflix, and it's pretty crazy. There's a pond in between Central Market, The hospital, and those apartments over there. That wasn't too bad, but then I decided to bike a little bit north of that. It was insane. There were all these old buildings, and all the streets there had weird street names that were fake, but looked real. The creepiest thing about it was the fact that there was absolutely no one at all outside. So after a few minute of that insanity, I crossed 45th street into the "triangle". That place was pretty weird too. There was this band playing on the lawn sort by the middle, and there was only like four or five people listening to them. The triangle was a weird place. There's lots of parking garages, lots of apartments, and then some small, yuppie restaurants in the middle. At the north tip of the triangle, there's no crosswalks to cross the street. It seems like the triangle tries to isolate itself from the rest of Austin, ignoring the busy roads next to it. I would totally get cabin fever if I lived there.
Also, the ugly house being built to the west of me finally got a yard yesterday. Since I've lived in my new place, it's always had empty dirt yard, and then yesterday, they installed automatic sprinklers, grass yard, and some ferns or something. My yard has always had a large deadspot next to the curb where the grass gets direct sunlight. It never looked so bad until tomorrow where it was finally compared to another yard, instead of dirt. Maybe I should just use sod like my lazy neighbor did.....
