If you caught our footage from last week's press gaggle/breakfast schmoozefest in the speaker's apartment, courtesy of Speaker Joe Straus, you may have been left wondering, well, how nice is it the most exclusive residence in downtown Austin?
Worry no more, architecture fans:
It's interesting to see exactly where all that donated money that Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, spent on the place when he was speaker. Plus, if you listen carefully, you'll find out the speaker's favorite dessert.
