The Vacant CSC Block Downtown

Since Computer Sciences Corporation "displaced" Liberty Lunch to locate its city-subsidized corporate headquarters downtown, high-end condos and apartments have sprung up from Town Lake to Red River like weeds in fertile soil. Now CSC's third building - for which the Lunch made the ultimate sacrifice - looks like it ain't going to happen. But upscale apartments, sadly, continue to sprout apace. One such complex, being built on Town Lake by Lumbermen's Investment Corp., promises to displace the Cedar Door, Austin's most mobile institution. Our solution? Move the Door to the all-but-abandoned CSC block, so laid-off techies have a convenient place to throw their pink-slip parties.
