Default Off topic but anyone from Austin Tx here?

I might be relocating from Fl to Tx and just wanted to see if anyone has any info about Austin. So far I hear its a great city and the cost of living is a lot less. If you have any input I'd love to hear it.

Mixerda is in Austin, I've been trying to get him to our local track for a while! Maybe a three way tag team of Impalas at the track!

Austin is a unique town. If music is your thing, there is a bunch of it. Great food also. Don' t forget about the University of Texas, Hook'em!
