hard to hate Austin, TX. damn hard.
Aside from 6th street and UT's campus, I found Austin to be just disgusting.
Extremely wrong, not at all elite, very hayseed-y thing to say, clearly very uneducated in the ways of ATX.
Aside from 6th street, Austin is like if Lawrence and Topeka were merged.
Except for the incredible food and tons of live music and gorgeous scenery and obscenely rich people in mansions and tons and tons of other incredible things to do? You're right.
Food I had was mediocre and the waiter was strung out. Did not get to see Austin's music scene.
I saw far more homeless people than people that struck me as "obscenely rich." Even saw one gentleman eat a cigarette filter.
Granted, I was pretty intoxicated throughout the day, and we stayed in some cheap motel, but Austin didn't strike me as the cultural and college football Mecca it's made out to be.
Willing to admit that I may be completely wrong in my assessment.
