Austin still lies in San Antonio’s shadow when it comes to landmarks, especially when I have guests who visiting from out-of-state. They always want to see the same things…The Alamo and The Riverwalk. Never mind that both are in San Antonio, a day trip. Meanwhile I get a rather unimpressed response over Austin’s statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Ann Richards’ bridge (home to almost two million bats), or UT’s trademark clock tower.
Maybe I’ll have better luck with the locations many famous movies were filmed at. The restaurant from Office Space closed suddenly last year so I have to thank The Onion people for pinning down the generic building (shown below). I never gave the address/location much thought. All these places look alike (a key statement made in the film) but I figured it was on the east side due to its resemblance to Apple’s old location (1992-2004). You’ll see I was close.
