Mixerr Reviews to be put on hiatus indefinitely until otherwise noted.

Mixerr Reviews has been put on hiatus indefinitely until otherwise noted. Mixerr Reviews is no longer in business. The reasons why Mixerr Reviews is no longer in business is because Michael Mixerr now works as a writer, content curator, narrator, and moderator for Bout Dat Online.

Also many of you know, Michael Mixerr got recruited by Fonzi to write album reviews, movie reviews, and news articles, for Bout Dat Online back in November 2021. He has been posting some of his album reviews that he has written for Mixerr Album Reviews for over the course of 11 years. Including album reviews that are non-Mixerr Album Reviews related. You can also read his album reviews on the Bout Dat Online website also. 

To put it bluntly, Mixerr Reviews has shut down as business due to lack of readership and lack of finances. Besides no one can run Mixerr Reviews like Michael Mixerr can. Thank you everyone for supporting Mixerr Reviews all of these years! This blog will be updated periodically.

I have very busy with writing for the Bout Dat Online website. At this present moment I am a content curator for Bout Dat Online. I will be posting more album reviews, movies reviews, and news articles there for the Bout Dat Online website. And in the future as well. More albums and movies from No Limit Records are what I plan to review in the future.

I am blessed and thankful FonZi has given me the opportunity to contribute my album reviews, movies reviews, and news articles to the Bout Dat Online. I feel blessed as all my hard work is paying off.

Remembering Brady Courts in San Antonio, Texas.

Brady Courts was one of the lesser known public housing projects operated by San Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA). This news article will explain what the Brady Courts were.

Brady Courts was a public housing project built adjacent to San Juan Homes in the Brady Gardens neighborhood near Brady Boulevard on South Zarzamora Street. 1951 was the year Brady Courts was constructed. (Ref: https://books.google.com/books?id=sTkpDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT77&dq=%22brady+courts%22)

Brady Courts were named after a local philanthropist named Lady Patricia Brady. Lady Patricia Brady and Thomas Brady owned the property where Brady Courts were once located. Brady Courts were located in the Brady Gardens neighborhood that was subsequently named after her. (Ref: https://m.mysanantonio.com/life/life_columnists/paula_allen/article/Lady-Patricia-Brady-a-modest-philanthropist-1065791.php)

However when San Antonio Housing Authority planned to add Brady Courts as part of the San Juan Homes public housing addition in the summer time of 1965, adjoining homeowners began fighting San Antonio Housing Authority collectively. Public housing leaders claim that slum dwellers should be put in an area where they can mix with better living conditions and more advanced people. (Ref: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/29667839/)

San Antonio Housing Authority began redevelopment efforts to move from its “public housing” identity in 2014 and had the Brady Courts demolished. What San Antonio Housing Authority did was transform the public housing project into an upscale development called the Garden at San Juan Square and Brady Gardens at market-rate living.

A look at Lizard Ditch Skate Park. One of Austin’s lesser known skate parks.

Lizard Ditch Skate Park is one of Austin’s lesser known skate parks tucked away in the corner of the Silverstone neighborhood of Southeast Austin. This news article will expose some totally awesome info behind this skatepark.

Lizard Ditch Skate Park is a longtime Austin skate spot with a 3' foot deep ditch that waterfalls into a 7' foot deep ditch with a spine. This skate park has appeared in several national skate magazines and videos. (Ref: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1n1e3sVYGDcy36DFoBiY87-y01Ec&hl=en_US&ll=30.181738871514685%2C-97.74756047406055&z=15)

Although people who are local residents say that Lizard Ditch Skate Park is not an official park, the property Lizard Ditch Skate Park is located is owned by City of Austin and has been since the year of 2015 when Virginia P Raleigh sold her property to City of Austin on a special warranty deed. City of Austin came through a while back and cleared all of the transition and ledges that were in the ditch because it effects how the ditch is able to operate. However the City of Austin didn’t demolish or modify any of the quarter pipes built out of the ditch and curbs. (Ref: https://stage.travis.prodigycad.com/property-detail/555734/2022)

However some local residents of the Silverstone area are unhappy with this skate park. They say Lizard Ditch Skate Park is an illegal skate park built in a watershed drainage area. Multiple cars show up every day with about 15-30 people sometimes. They dump trash and mattresses on a regular basis. However they cannot do anything about those problems since the City of Austin owns the property. (Ref: http://austin.spotreporters.com/reports/20-00470860)

The ditches are the coolest part of the skate park. The ditches are tucked back in a large field surrounded by trees. These trees can provide shade in the summertime when hot weather comes around. 

 

Lizard Ditch Skate Park is located at 5106 Canella Drive, Austin, Texas, US 78744.
