I like how there was no traffic downtown because there were no jobs, and no reason for anyone to be driving downtown because there was nothing to do there, and it was a sucky place to be.

I thought that the reason that Liberty Lunch went out of business because the property was sold and torn down to build the CSC building?

You have to remember that non-pro video cameras back then were pretty terrible quality compared to what we have now. Besides, amateur videos from the 90's like this one are very hard to come by, so I thought it was interesting to see how much Austin has changed in 20 years.
