Why Live In Austin, Texas?
Austin is the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways. Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, digital marketers, and blue-collar workers. The city's official slogan promotes Austin as "The Live Music Capital of the World", a reference to the city's many musicians and live music venues. This climate is typified by long, very hot summers, short, mild winters, and warm to hot spring and fall seasons in between. "Keep Austin Weird" has been a local motto for years, featured on bumper stickers and T-shirts. This motto has not only been used in promoting Austin's eccentricity and diversity but is also meant to bolster the support of local independent businesses. Many Austinites support the athletic programs of the University of Texas at Austin known as the Texas Longhorns. Austin's primary airport is Austin–Bergstrom International Airport, located 5 miles southeast of the city." - According to Wikipedia
