More Than Texas, This is Austin
By admin | August 25, 2011
Often when someone thinks of Texas, the first thought that comes to mind is its size. In that case, how can one city be greater than the whole that contains it? As it concerns Austin, the issue is mistaking quantity for quality.
Austin is a large city that feels like a small town. While its population was recorded as 656 thousand in 2000, its people are usually quite friendly to locals and visitors alike.
Austin is also one of the most diverse cities in Texas, both culturally and environmentally. Its reputation for live music is well deserved, and any eclectic musical taste is sure to be satisfied in any of its many clubs and bars.
After a good rain, swim in Austin’s many lakes and rivers, or enjoy the spring-fed Barton Springs pool. Canoeing or kayaking the Colorado River are also pleasant ways to pass the time, as is a nice hike or bike ride along one of the many green belts.
Austin is also home to companies of every size, from the massive Dell to the solo startup. Anyone looking for a great place to play and work in Texas would do well to consider what Austin has to offer.
