  • Resingularizations of the Avant Garde in East Austin, Texas a Dissertation
    East of the Center: Resingularizations of the Avant Garde in East Austin, Texas A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Carra Elizabeth Martinez IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Sonja Kuftinec, Advisor May 2016 Copyright Carra Elizabeth Martinez May 2016 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the support of the Department of Theatre Arts and Dance at the University of Minnesota. My committee generously provided their time and attention and feedback: Dr. Sonja Kuftinec, Dr. Michal Kobialka, Dr. Margaret Werry, Dr. Cindy Garcia, and Dr. Josephine Lee. My fellow graduate students filled my days at the U of M with laughter, conversation, and potlucks. Thank you Elliot Leffler, Jesse Dorst, Kimi Johnson, Eric Colleary, Stephanie Walseth, Will Daddario, Joanne Zerdy, Rita Kompelmacher, Mike Mellas, Bryan Schmidt, Kelly McKay, Kristen Stoeckeler, Hyo Jeong Hong, Misha Hadar, Rye Gentleman, David Melendez, Virgil Slade, Wesley Lummus, and Cole Bylander. Both Barbra Berlovitz and Lisa Channer provided so many pathways for me to stay in touch with the creative process inside Rarig. I will now always want to play both Agamenon and Clytemnestra in the same production. My fellowship at Penumbra Theatre kept me attune to the connection between practice and theory. And last but not least, thank you to my University of Minnesota Theatre Arts and Dance students, who were so willing to take risks and to work and to think. A special thanks goes to the Bootleggers. I always smile when I drive by any and all Halloween stores.

The property offers residents spacious homes each equipped with large living areas and kitchen spaces, private backyards or upstairs balconies, large bedrooms with large closets and an on-site card-operated laundry facility. Major Capex Items Recently Completed Current ownership has recently invested heavily in major capex items and infrastructure. Last year, the property’s main water supply and sewer lines were completely replaced as well as five of the HVAC package units. In the past several years, ownership replaced all electrical circuit breaker panels (25 total) and installed a new roof that comes with a transferable warranty (5-year labor/30-year manufacturer). Booming North Austin Submarket Oakhurst Townhomes are located in north central Austin, one of the highest growing submarkets in the city. Major nearby projects like The Domain and Mueller as well as significant development along the Burnet and North Lamar corridors have driven substantial growth in rental rates and home values.

  • Free Land Attracted Many Colonists to Texas in 1840S 3-29-92 “No Quitting Sense” We Claim Is Typically Texas
    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

A. SUMMARY OF THE CASE AND REQUESTED RELIEF 1. This case involves the interpretation of the Valid Petition Rights section of the Texas Zoning Enabling Act, Texas Local Government Code Section 211.006(d) (the “Valid Petition Rights Statute”). That statute requires a ¾ vote of a City Council to approve any change in zoning regulations that are protested by at least 20% of the landowners in the area. 1 The requisite 20% of the neighboring landowners have submitted valid petitions objecting to the approval of the proposed zoning regulation changes for the Grove at Shoal Creek Planned Unit Development (herein “Grove PUD”). That Grove PUD is proposed as a high-density mixed-use development on a 76 acre tract of land at 4205 Bull Creek Road in Austin, Texas, commonly called the “Bull Creek Tract.” 2.
