    An Amazing Documentary

    I saw this documentary last year at SXSW and it's just gorgeous...and so, so sad. I wish I had lived in Austin when it was "paradisical." It's still wonderful, but when I hear the stories and see the photos of the days before the greedy developers took over, it's heartbreaking to witness the damage they've done. What a shame that these money hungry men with no taste have such a hard-on to rape and ruin such pristine natural beauty.
