Default Austin is just amazing place

Well it has been a long time since I have been to austin, got to see the capitol. Makes me want to move there, the roads were awesome and the hills around austin was just perfect in the car. Here is a shot I got with my camera phone. To bad I didn't have more time, just a business meeting this morning took a lot of my time.

Austin is very pretty, but it's a bit too...lesbian for my tastes. Everyone seems to have a cause they're fighting for.

I love Austin. It's the Austinites that bug me.

werd. All the pet liberal causes that derive from fuzzy-headed thinking that is nearly devoid of common sense... gets a little annoying sometimes... at least to this fairly conservative/libertarian individual (me).

Austin is too cluster-**** for me, and with only 2 main highways, C'mon, build some more!! I prefer Dallas, its spread out and lots of freakin highways. I dont mind visiting Austin for some local music and beers...and the women ofcourse

The reason Austin is so fucked up isn't because of the the true "Texans", it's because it is full of Californians, East Coast Yankees, and the rest of the nerd/IT freaks that came here in the 90's. Before that Austin was quite enjoyable to live in and it wasn't all that bad. Now it's expensive, overcrowded, full of ******* people, and a COMPLETELY different city that it once was. The remaining original Austinites, like myself, are few and far between.
