Driving through Austin one day in 1975, I got off the freeway for gas and a soda. I liked the town so much, I moved here and have been here ever since. Good nightclubs, lots of live music, beautiful women, four seasons and nice countryside with lots of trees and lakes. Home of UT, the Armadillo World HQ, LBJ Library, the state Capital and a bunch of computer/electronics companies... Makes for a good mix of people..hippies, students, legislators and techno geeks.

Austin rules!
I moved from a tiny town in eastern PA to Austin when I was 18..one way ticket and all my shit packed in a trunk...lived there 10 years, then got some crazy notion to move to the shithole of the USA..Florida..bypassed idiot boyfriend I was supposed to move in with and kept on going till I got to cocoa beach... stopped...got a hotel, got a job, got a babysitter then got a place..was gonna move the next summer back to Austin but met my then b/f..now husband. Stayed in that shithole for 7 years..
Now I am residing in the wonderful state of Wa..I can never move back home.. they don't have the mountains that I seek...although I do get homesick occasionally..
