Yeah—I wish.

Austin used to be one of my favorite places to visit. Having been born in Smithville, and spending the summers there with my grandparents and my aunt, I got to know Austin pretty well, as my aunt would drive me over quite often to shop. (There was not much between Austin and Bastrop at that time.)

My heart would soar when I could first spot the Capitol!

Do you remember that until recent years, no building could be built in such a way that it would be higher than, or block the view of the Capitol from any direction?

Yes, I do remember that. Now you can hardly see the dome from many parts of the city.
