I was born in Austin and grew up in the “COMFY FATTIES” area of the map. I left Austin as soon as I could.
Anyone visiting Texas for the first time needs to know that Austin is not representative of Texas, it is the San Francisco of Texas.
Don’t google “lesbian furniture.” Just don’t.
Senator Cruz lives in Houston.
Wheelchair hookers?

Many moons ago i lived at Burnett and 183 in an apartment by a car dealership.
