The Best Ten Minutes Today

I was trying to bike through the Mueller development this evening as the sun set.

For non-Austinites, the Mueller development is the old Austin airport which was de-commissioned and then subjected to a stunning array of political and economic forces which transformed the site into a Frankenstein hodgepodge of development and unused space.

The geniuses at Misprint Zine referred to the Mueller development as "a grotesque Truman Show social experiment." But other than the hyper-precious high-density track housing, featureless park space, and incongruous prairie land, there’s some very fascinating derelict urban space.

I think there’s still some cars in the long term parking lot.
