I've only been in Austin about 10 years and I'm not letting the libs run me out.TDDude wrote:
Anyway, Austin has just about the most expensive real estate and the worst traffic in all of Texas. There still isn't an East West thouroghfare through that town. All this can be laid directly at the feet of the '80's liberalism that I had the good misfortune to witness.
Austin still has good restaraunts though.
I ain't leave'in - I prefer to stay and fight the good fight.
You are right about everything except the traffic. It's gotten worse over the years, but I'd much rather drive in heavy traffic here than in Houston or Dallas.
As far as Alamo is concerned - If they don't have a valid sign up front, I'm going in carrying. If they do have a valid sign, they are losing about $100 every 2-3 weeks from me. That's their choice, and frankly a bad business decision if they do. I don't worry too much about the interior of Alamo, but I do worry about the parking lots.
