Out of state/city readers may not be familiar with the Cameron Road area in East Austin. I used to work in the area when Apple (Computer), Inc. was located there around 2000-2003. At the time, Cameron Road was all business and no play. There were some apartments, but not many homes or really cool places to shop and eat.
The City of Austin stepped in this past March to buy the Walnut Creek Business Park for $12M and will get started on a $10M renovation. They're relocating some city services to the new area while vacating old buildings near the Mueller Austin redevelopment.
I'm still pushing for Cameron to get a more interesting product mix, but for now at least some makeovers are on the way.
