All About Austin

PinkieLee · 11-02-2009, 10:20 AM

Well, I must admit, I've been to Austin more times than I can count, I hella heart Austin and am so glad that it's only 3 1/2 from Houston!

Austin ~ great food, fabulous people, and always a rockin' time... and the cheap drink specials on 6th Street don't hurt at all

We must not ever forget BEVO and the University of Texas ~ where burnt orange runs through veins!

Not to mention, Austin is 30 minutes away from San Marcos.... which has the BEST outlet mall I've ever been too!

**my personal service announcement for Austin, and I don't even live there**

Austin SUCKS? Really surprised to see Austin in the top FIVE toxic cities.

Puplove · 11-04-2009, 03:57 PM

I wasn't born on the BF Planet, but I got here as fast as I could.

Arwen · 11-04-2009, 04:22 PM

Okay, we need to get a certain other few Austin folk over here.

Mel C. · 11-04-2009, 10:23 PM

Austin is a fabulous place with FABULOUS people! I haven't seen much of the city, but the Butch-Femme community there includes some of my favorite peeps on the planet (butchfemme and Earth)

shariberry · 11-06-2009, 12:12 PM

Some of my favorite people live in and have visited Austin.

Live music, BBQ, the Hill Country, Tex-Mex...I don't think I'll ever leave!

I'm an Austin native. I've lived here much of my life.
Yes, we have really bad air. The bad ozone days mentioned on the tv weather reports. Most likely at least in part thanks to all the people (unfortunately) moving in.

Like almost all native Austinites, I wish these people moving here would make a u-turn and go back where they came from. Many of the Austin natives don't appreciate these people moving here. It's really sad what's happening to Austin.

There's a new-ish outlet mall right here in Round Rock(kinda close to the Ikea). It's not as big as the San Marcos one, but the shops are good.

Hey everyone. I was born and raised in Austin and I love it.... probably too much! I have lived in Iowa and Georgia, both for only 6 months each. I got home sick and came back. The thing I love about Austin is the diverse population we have here. The museums, the artists, the music, the attractions that come here, kayaking, the lakes, everything! The surrounding areas have quite a bit of things to do as well.
