Years ago, I had a girlfriend who lived in Austin. We toured the city, saw the sights, and generally had a good time. Those fond memories will stay with me forever.
Austin is a real happening place. It has the University of Texas, plenty of good places to go, and a really nice climate.
In recent years, the cost of living has gone way up, and suburban sprawl has detracted from the city's small-town atmosphere. But it's still a very "happening" place. |
