  • I wouldn't necessarily call this a Tourist Trap, but I wanted to put this tip under this title to make sure you do not waste all your time in Austin here. Although this is really an impressive building, you may spend more time walking around it then actually seeing the real town! This is just your run of a mill convention center, so go enjoy 6th St instead!

     Hey there... I am in Austin for a week for work, and I arrive on Sunday. Are there any things you would recommend to see whilst there??

     Thanks for the great Austin page! I lived there for 15 years and miss it very much. "Keep Austin Wierd" is a way of life... and a state of mind :) Your page and tips do a great job of sharing Austin and all it has to offer.
