We relocated to Austin due to transfer in my husbands job. Overall I have seen that the only thing bigger here is their bad attitudes. If you are not from here, they think they are better than you, even though you can tell most have never even left the state to compair.

All with a southern hospitality, great food, many parks and hike trails,and plenty of great live music. ... Read Full Review | Report This

I've been to Austin numerous times (never really by choice). I find it boring and completely overrated. I do like the Whole Foods flagship store, however.
