Pickett’s Office 2.0
El Paso’s senior member of the delegation, Chairman Joe Pickett was pretty famous around the state of Texas for his office. I understand its informally part of the regular tour around the capitol.
If you’ve never been to his office at the Capitol, Chairman Pickett’s office was decorated like a 50’s diner. It was great, it had the pop corn machine, sodas, and ice cream. Free. Or at least that’s what Brandi Grissom told me when she took me on a tour once and we grabbed an ice cream out of the cooler.
But in something that went basically unreported in El Paso, Joe’s Diner is no more. After many years, he moved offices. Out with the old, in with the new.
Apparently Chairman Pickett’s office 2.0 has a movie theater theme. If anyone has pictures, hook me up and I’ll post them. I rarely make it out to Austin so I don’t have any.
The old stuff is around the corner in a museum-type setting, so it hasn’t gone to waste.
