I have been to The Domain once before years ago shopping with my friend while visiting Austin…read more We came back again to kill some time and do some high-end shopping before I had to head to the airport. A few newer shops I hadn't seen since my last visit and a few others that have since closed, but the old loves remained including the amazing Restoration Hardware here that is FOUR stories and loaded with every pretty thing you could ever want. Also some higher end jewelry stores like Gucci and David Yurman here. This is a huge complex with several parking decks and areas and it was extremely crowded by around noon-1pm on a Sunday. Great place to have lunch and shop - that RH is the thing of dreams!

I spend a great deal of time at The Domain. I asked myself why while I was back at the Domain…read moreagain today. The Domain is now a sought-after destination - where shopping (casual and high-end), dining, night life and other fun experiences converge. You can go shopping, meet a friend for happy hour, or do something completely fun and adventurous in the course of the day or evening. One of my Finance groups hosts a monthly Finance meeting at The Domain. Shopping...some of my favorite fun stores are at the Domain such as J. Crew and Anthropologie. I love these two stores because they have unique goods at great prices, in general, and specifically, have amazing sales. If you are a big baller, you can shop at stores like Neiman Marcus, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany's and whole host of other high stores. I'm a tiny baller. Smile. Dining - At the Domain you can get reasonably priced foods to high end fare. Some of my favorite places to dine in the Domain include Glorias, Flower Child, Paul Martin's and Haywire. Important to note, most restaurants have great happy hours and associated amazing prices. Nightlife - Some say that The Domain (especially on Rock Rose Avenue) is the new 6th Street (known for its bars and Live music). I would not venture out that far. However, if you want to party in the wee hours of the night, you can do it at The Domain. Fun Experiences - You can transport yourself to fun such as IPIC movie theatre, Museum of Illusion or the Battle of the Games. Last weekend I discovered the Barkin Creek Dog Kitchen & Bath...so, The Domain is not only for humans. Love The Domain...I am sure I will see you there!

Made it with 3%!!!…read more The lines can get long here considering you are able to grab a beer or a pretzel at Easy Tiger which is within walk. The location is a difficult one to park in for the end spaces but driving in reverse for the last two gets it done. The location does not have trash cans, so it gets pretty messy - please do not leave trash here! All in all, a good spot just be prepared to wait during peak hours here.

Zack did an excellent job installing the Tesla wall connector. He showed up on time, went through…read morehis plan, and got it installed neatly and without conduits. Everything was cleaned up and ready for me to set up. He had to cut some drywall to run the cable, but did it low behind my softener so it's not even visible. I highly recommend Grayzer for charger installs. They've been focused on them for a while, and it shows.

So I was in the process of adding a Tesla Wall Connector to my home. I sent out a request to three…read moredifferent companies ( all Tesla Certified installers ). All were prompt in their responses and provided well written proposals. Only Grayzer included the cost of a permit in their proposal. Further a friend had their wall panel upgraded and their Tesla Wall Connector installed by Grayzier and recommended them highly. After looking at the reviews for the different certified installers, and given that a permit is required in my town to install an EV charger, I went with Grayzer. They provided a date and service window ( a week in advance of my appointment ) and the electrician, Max, pinged me about an hour prior to his arrival. I showed Max my ideal location for the Tesla Wall Connector and he was able to accommodate without having to cut away any drywall or running conduit outside the wall ( YMMV ). Very friendly, professional and knowledgable. He took the information/pictures required by Tesla and by my town's permitting authority, commissioned the Wall Connector, showed my how to add it to the Tesla Application on my iPhone and verified that it was charging at the specified rate (48 amps). He was happy to answer any questions I might have, and I am just delighted by the service and work done. I would recommend highly to friends, neighbors, et al. All in all, quick, fast, efficient, and professional. Cleaned up work area when done. Thank you!

The WF team really turned the hot bar problems around. I was probably too harsh initially. The guys…read morein the meat market are the best in Austin. Right there with, if not better than, Central Market. Overall, there's some things that could be better but the good attitude of the meat counter + fish counter make up for any shortcomings in the rest of the store.

They're always blasting the music…read more Apparently, the staff like it like loud. Not me. Neither the rock-pop-rap music choice, nor the volume are comforting. They are disturbing. Today it was even louder than usual, so I went and asked at the service desk if they could turn it down just for the five minutes that I'm in the store And they refused I'm speechless And for this to happen at Whole Foods flagship store is shocking I come here mainly for the hot bar and for the package pick up service they offer And now I'm cut that out and have my stuff delivered elsewhere

Ever see that SNL skit where Will Farrell shouts (to no one in particular), "I drive a Dodge…read moreStratus!!" as a comment about his position as an upwardly mobile, white-collar breadwinner to an unappreciative family? Well, "I drive an electric car!" and as a card-carrying crunchy granola hippie, I just **love** that we have a DC fast charger and a few other green gimmicks at this stretch of 2nd street now called Electric Drive in downtown's newly rechristened "Seaholm Ecodistrict". Besides being able to completely recharge my car in 30 minutes via stored wind-generated power (heck, that barely gives me time to do the 3-mile loop on the trail from across the adjacent Pfluger Bridge), I can hang out at the cool shaded kiosk by Sol Design Lab and charge up my phone via solar panels. If you're not a runner/walker/biker or people watcher, you can also park & charge via slower (4 hour) Level 2 ports while shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's or dining at Boiler 9 or True Food. Soon we'll also have that gorgeous new Central Library open next door, too. From the Austin Energy press release from the opening in March 2017, "Electric Drive is powered entirely by renewable energy. Electric Drive offers dedicated parking for two electric vehicle charging stations including a fast-charging DC port, and a solar-powered kiosk that can recharge electric bikes, scooters, motorcycles, laptops and mobile devices using integrated USB ports and electrical outlets. The kiosk, located alongside the Butler Hike & Bike Trail, also provides shade from the sun's rays during the day, and LED lighting at night. Electric Drive demonstrates Austin Energy's commitment to the growing electric vehicle market and renewable energy." More about the launch (with video) is available here: http://www.twcnews.com/tx/austin/news/2017/03/27/austin-energy-unveils-electric-drive.html The docking of a star has to do with the fact that #1, you have to pay to park in the metered spots every day but Sunday (even though the EV charging service is free), and #2, this station is notorious among EV drivers for being out of service more often than not. Austin is still growing and figuring out how to make this infrastructure work; they still have some work to do. When the station is down, call 1-888-758-4389 (mentioning Chargepoint charger #5DB2) for assistance. You can also try this map of other COA PlugIn EVerywhere network chargers around town http://austinenergy.com/wps/portal/ae/green-power/plug-in-austin/electric-vehicle-drivers/electric-vehicle-drivers . There are 250 almost free (you have to pay $25 every 6 months for the keychain access card/dongle) charging stations in Austin's network (and still others at stores like Whole Foods and Walgreens), so don't lose hope if you're low on juice! We gonna rock down to... Electric Ave... er, Drive. Dang it! They really missed an opportunity here. Poor Eddy Grant will be getting no royalties on this one.

We needed to move one of the outlets from the head-in wall of the garage to near the overhead door opening. Since the head-in wall is insulated, we left the wiring in the wall and capped the old outlet and ran conduit to the new location. I contacted Smart Charge America to get the job done. They did a GREAT job at a reasonable price. If you're looking to install a new circuit to handle EV charging, reach out to them. You'll be glad you did! P.S. Their headquarters are in Austin, Texas, but thankfully they have installers in lots of cities.
