Talk:Austin, Texas

Dallas north, Houston southwest?

I would think that the folks in Killeen and Waco would beg to differ with the notion that the Dallas graticule is directly north of the Austin graticule. You could make a slightly less substantial but still notable case for Wharton, which is inconveniently located to the southeast of Austin even though Houston would be much more convenient if it were a few hundred miles west of its actual location. --RobertB 18:22, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll try to be there at 5 if I can get out of the office. Anyone else? China Star buffet is ALMOST right there, so I'll probably go there for dinner. Jon the Geek 15:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It's about time that the meet up spot is somewhere near Austin. I'll try to get out there this evening at about 9pm or so. - Meat.Paste EDIT: From the satellite images on Google, it looks like there are gates blocking the way to the roads that would get to the spot. It may not be legally reachable.

I'll (try to) be there around 3:30-4, and if I can reach it, I'll leave a marker of sticks. On google maps I don't see the gates you're talking about, but the maps tend to be years old anyway and with all the visible construction in that area who knows what's changed since then. -s3g2
