Eight years ago, at the height of the shale-oil boom, a committee of industry giants and public officials unveiled a bold plan to make Corpus Christi “drought proof.” With this plan, a consultant explained to city officials at the time, their semi-arid stretch of coastline in South Texas could finally overcome the economic limitations of its scarce water supply. “Industry can continue to operate,” said a slideshow the consultant, Frank Brogan, presented to Corpus Christi City Council.
Austin's Hideout Theatre improvises in search for new space after leaving downtown
The Hideout Theatre never expected to hold performances at an office park in North Austin. Last year, it was forced to leave its home of 26 years on Congress Avenue after the building’s new owner decided to turn the space into a bar.

With a move-out deadline approaching, the Hideout turned to its annex on North Lamar, where it already held improv classes and workshops.

Austin officials say Zilker Park was not damaged by last weekend's ACL 'mudfest'
