Paramount CEO eyes Austin as potential base amid antitrust showdown

Paramount CEO David Ellison is reportedly weighing a move of the studio’s base from California to Austin, Texas, amid an antitrust battle over Paramount Skydance’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Discovery. The company is pursuing a large-scale Austin studio project at the Bluebonnet Business Center, with a threat to relocate jobs if a settlement with California AG Rob Bonta isn’t reached by Oct. 1, signaling possible shifts in Hollywood production dynamics—even as Paramount has not formally committed to the relocation.

Austinhenge Returns: Downtown Sunset Aligns with the Grid

Austin’s twice-yearly Austinhenge event occurs when the downtown east–west streets align with the sunset, creating a striking light tunnel along the grid. The best alignments happen in early August and early May, with exact dates varying by street due to the grid’s slight tilt; some blocks peak around August 7–8 this year. Check exact street alignments using Hengefinder or solar planning apps.

Austin Real Estate Slump: Prices and Rents Fall as New Supply Grows

Austin Real Estate Slump: Prices and Rents Fall as New Supply Grows

Austin’s housing market has cooled dramatically since its 2022 peak: typical home prices are down about 25%, July prices were roughly 12% lower than a year ago, and the rental market is softer as a surge of new homes hits the market. A Realtor.com analysis shows about 79% of homes bought in 2022 are worth less than their sale price, while buyers face higher mortgage rates and builders’ incentives that blur resale competitiveness. Yet analysts say Austin’s fundamentals—millennials, high-income workers, and a steady employer base—sup port a longer-term rebound, aided by rate buydowns and measured development, though a quick recovery isn’t expected.

Austin Emerges as Cheapest City for a Cheeseburger, Fries and Soda

DoorDash’s State of Local Commerce finds that the price of a cheeseburger, fries and a soda varies widely by city, with Austin, Texas offering the cheapest combo at $12.94 and Anchorage, Alaska the most expensive at $28.28. The ten best‑value cities cluster in the Midwest and Texas, reflecting locally lower operating costs like labor and rent. Overall, the price of the basket rose about 3.2% year over year, and the Cheeseburger Index is one of three affordability measures DoorDash uses to illustrate how local economies shape everyday prices.

A heat wave is forecast for Sunday into next week.

Ariana Grande Enjoys a Friendly Reunion with Ex Ricky Alvarez in Austin

Ariana Grande was spotted in Austin, Texas, this week with her ex Ricky Alvarez, just two weeks after news of her split from Ethan Slater. They were photographed dining at De Nada Cantina during Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour birthday stop, but sources say the gathering was friendly with friends and not a romantic reunion. Grande and Alvarez dated from 2015–2016, and the sighting underscores a past connection rather than a fresh romance.
