Villa Muse Finds the Phone

By Richard Whittaker, May 6, 2008, 5:37pm, Newsdesk

So, Villa Muse (which is so busy looking for an alternate site for its development-without-a-home that CEO Jay Podolnick couldn't attend his own press conference yesterday) left a voicemail this morning saying that the Musers would like a clarification about yesterday's blog headline: "Breaking: Villa Muse Officially Kaput. For Reals." They complain the headline implies that the project is completely dead, when in fact (and as we reported), the Austin site is dead, but they may do it somewhere else (as we also reported).

So, yes, Villa Muse staggers on, zombie-like, in search of a new home somewhere in Texas. Somewhere that will allow the project, with no land purchased and no site plans, to break ground before year's end (or, more realistically, before the end of the construction season).

Oh, and by the way, you can call us, but you can't find Will Wynn's number?
