This is terrible because Austin is an emerging city, like New York and Los Angeles used to be. Their live music scene cannot be beat. Plus they that have the SXSW thingy.

Just an all-around, classy city. I was even thinking of moving there.

Just an all-around, classy city.

Surely you're joking. My daughter lived there for 5 years or so after moving from Kansas to Austin. From my many trips there it reminded me of Berkeley in California, only a pale imitation. Bunch of liberal weirdos, and a tiny downtown.

There is no there, there (like the quote about Oakland). Spread out over many miles, boring, boring and more boring. My daughter is back in California and glad she left Austin. Granddaughter spent 3 weeks there, and returned last Saturday; she was bored. When I think classy, I don't think about Austin.
