🌮 Your guide to East Riverside-Oltorf

💜 Morning! Folks, I have a tiny correction to make to my purple martins story from Tuesday. Do not go to the ACC Highland Campus to see the purple martins. Travis Audubon volunteer (and Hey Austin reader) Susanne Harm gave me a heads up that the birds are not roosting in Highland this year! Head to La Frontera Village in Round Rock instead! OK, now everyone say, “Thank you, Susanne!”
Thank you to Tecovas, our exclusive launch sponsor and Western wear favs for their support!
What's CITY Talking About?
🏢 Search for X Office Space Has Begun
Elon Musk is apparently doing what everyone else in town is: Looking for a place to rent. Austin Business Journal confirmed with sources not connected to X, formerly Twitter, that a law firm is helping the social media platform find an office space spanning at least 100,000 square feet in town. [Austin Business Journal]
- Earlier this month, Musk said he was moving the headquarters for X and SpaceX to Texas due to California’s laws. [City Cast Austin]

🥧 ‘Waitress’ Coming to ZACH Theatre
Well, I’m already looking forward to next summer. “Waitress,” a musical based on the 2007 movie of the same name, is coming to ZACH Theatre in June. With music by the phenomenal Sara Bareilles, the show joins “The Wizard of Oz,” and “Jersey Boys,” among others, in the theater’s 2024-2025 lineup. [ZACH Theatre]
