– Life imitates art imitating life, if what “The Real World” does can even be called art (maybe in a trashy, John Waters-type of way?)

– For those of you that don’t know, Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant, a Colorado joint with a popular location in the heart of Denver’s LoDo, opened its first non-Colorado location at the old “Real World” house in Austin, Texas a couple months ago. The timing is perfect for Rio Grande, as “The Real World” continues to film its upcoming Denver season in LoDo. The new Austin restaurant (at 301 San Jacinto, on the northeast the corner of 3rd and San Jacinto) will continue to serve its insanely strong margaritas and other hearty Mexican fare.
