Geeking out: Austin City Council Meeting ARCHIVES!

Karen pointed me to this website. I find myself spending more time than I thought I ever would reading the minutes from city council meetings that were written decades ago.
Back in the 1920's there doesn't seem much to the meetings. There were a ton of people applying for taxi cab licenses in the 40's and trying to get their property re-zoned from residential to commercial. Once you get into the 1960's, they really start to get a few pages long.

No, I haven't read every single one but I have been jumping around: looking at birthdays, meetings close to significant dates in history. Check out what happend 11/21/1963.

It's interesting-thanks, Karen!
