I have lived off and on in Austin since I was born. I love the city because it is so diverse and dynamic. There is always something going on. There is live music every night, a lot of beautiful parks, several great museums and the University of Texas campus. There is also the beauty of the surrounding Hill Country and their beautiful lakes within an hour's drive.

Warm dry weather, days were spent at work, however ate out every day and the restaurants were very good, of particular interest was ZTehas Grill the patio of which you can view the surrounding countryside, since its on the top of a hilly area, Chuys Mexican food, and of course What-a-Burger that has the BEST hamburgers! Night life on Sixth avenue was excellent, salsa clubs, Coffee houses, mime shows, first class bands not to mention the ability to sit in on a Austin City limits concert while it was being taped. Free ways in the Austin area however are to say the least, confusing and never liked the traffic on the MoPac Freeway.

A great place for those that want to do outdoor adventures or nightlife adventures. Take a walk down 6th Street at night and you'll be amazed at all the different types of people you'll see in one small area. Kayakers can spend a restful day on Lady Bird Lake or be more adventurous on the Brazos. I love Austin. It's my mini getaway location.

This is a great movie theater. You can actually have a meal while enjoying a movie! How great is that. I have never seen anything like and seriously they need to market this idea a little more. The movie wasn't any more expensive than other theaters and neither was the price of food. So if you are ever in Austin and looking for a different movie experience you must try the Drafthouse.

Austin, TX - one of the most funfilled, best BBQ, nightlife, decent climate through out the year - best is Spring and Fall. Alot of history. If you are into wines - a lot of vineyards in Austin and near by area.
