@@hoaxingtheworld4212 Complain ? Where does He complain about it ? This Dude Tommy D is actually official . He’s legit. Great outlook.

TomD is a very intelligent

This place sucks all Cali libtards ruined it. Music scene sucks.

@@robertchamberlin379 the whole city blows now .its sickening

Moved here in 93 what a great city and to watch it be ruined be these retards is sickening. Sad I will have to move soon and take my art and music somewhere else.

Thanks for the insight! I think there is a shift towards more sterile, anonymous environments in many developed countries.

@@simon7762 very true. Austin has had a prominent low rider car club in an east Austin public park, I think it’s been going on 25-50 years now, it’s a newly gentrified area and the new community members are trying to ban the car club. It’s a really sour subject. It’s hard to talk to people about because people moving here that are paying 900,000 for a small run down house feel entitled because they are paying so much, not realizing they are messing with something that has been in Austin’s culture for a long long time, and not wanting to empathize or listen. It’s rich karen and kens that don’t like revving engines but didn’t research where they were moving to enough to learn this is something that has been happening every Sunday morning for longer than they can imagine with no issues. That area was a big Latino community, most of the people I knew there were happy to get up with the car club being their alarm, some for church and some just got up and went to go see the cars, or clean It is what it is as far as noise, no way around that, but it was a community activity, it was welcomed, it was looked forward to. Now dumb people are putting up signs saying go back to where you came from, when they pushed these people out of their own community by raising the cost of living for all us that were here before.

@@Bunnibabigirl I believe you, sweetheart. It's sad. Austin was cool years ago. I am from Chicago, but I can attest to the cool weird Austin days. Those are gone with the Dodo Bird.

Third generation Austinite born and raised here and I completely agree. I really miss the old small town feeling that Austin had back in the mid 90s. I work in east Austin and watching what is happening with that area breaks my heart. In a way it’s nice to see new life coming to the area, but it’s so important to preserve the history and the culture that’s been here for so long.

@@alideees Gosh, little lady. I remember walking down East 6 Street during 2008 to 2015, and I loved it so much,, for it was a cool neighborhood mixed with worn houses, a gas company, a house/repair shop for sewing machines with a bunch of cats in the yard, a cool pottery business, a YMCA, warehouses before you crossed over the tracks, a variety of offbeat clubs, Dan's Hair Salon, Cisco's-which I have yet to try out, and trees standing next to the street lamps. Oh, there was another restaurant on that street, but I believe the family either sold the place or retired from the business. I felt safe walking at night there. It was my favorite block. It had a pulse that was different from any other street in downtown Austin. Now, I do not know or understand the street. It does not move right with me. Cesar Chavez is still pretty cool with the fabulous Counter Culture Restaurant, and Mr.. Natural. Mongers was great as well. Congress was truly cool too, but now it's so different. All of the shops that supported up and coming clothing designers and artisans of jewelry, etc., are gone. Creatures has flown the coop. Parts and Labor is still standing strong. Well, Austin's weirdness has turned into blandness for the Aesthetes.

Hi Eric. This is Tom’s bro, Silvio. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. He and eye send you lots of love and condolences. Take care.

Yeah, you could have told me your Artificial Intelligence theories without me asking for them!

That was perfect to compliment the weirdness of the city 😂

Her encounter said more than I could have said with 30 minutes of information.

dude is talking race again? thanks so much Tom!!! I wish someone... ANYONE, would talk about race, the media never brings it up!

This is not "gods county" whatever the fuck that means, we are a secular nation and state that is open to people of all faiths even to those that don't associate with one.

They rounded them up and put them in concentration camps a few months ago. Looks WAY better now but there’s still a few running around.

maybe that was lindsay wagner.

And that's the bottom lineeee, coz Stone. Cold. Said. So!

Ha, I guess it's better than getting called Charles Manson!
