Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

[Nigel Tufnel]

Jesus amen... Every time I'm in Austin I think to myself, "damn, this is some shitty traffic." Mind you, I'm from Chicago.

Sadly, Austin ain't what made it great anymore... and that's not a knock... it's just how things go when everybody else catches on.

Still has a lot of music. Love it.

My son and his family are moving to Austin within the month and no they are not even close to a Cali type...

Two words for your son: 1. Salt's 2. Guero's.

Now back to the thread; fuck'em and the longhorn they rode in on.

My new neighbor moved from Austin. Austin has inevitably, lost some of it's "charm". It's grown too fast and is too populated now. But still a pretty great city.

They are welcome ... are they living in South Dallas (Round rock/cedar park/leander), Austin, Golden Hills (Lakeway/Lake Travis/west lake), or the country (Hays county/Buda/Kyle)

How's the homeless sheltering situation going?

How's the homeless sheltering situation going?

we have plenty of overpasses and green belt areas for them.... so not good City council realized that took it a step too far trying to decriminalize it.

 

[Taosman]

The homeless "situation" through the whole west is bad.Southern Cali is particularly bad. I have a friend moving back to NM to get away from the fires and homeless in southern Cal.

I moved from Austin in 2013, and when I left the city was expanding at a ridiculous rate, they couldnt build enough housing for the amount of people moving in.
And @cincibuck , I thought Salt Lick was overrated. For the drive, I would just go in the other direction to Lockhart or Taylor and have some life changing BBQ

Nowhere near Austin, but had some of this in Richland Hills this summer.

Salt Lick is about the experience and the 2nd plate of family style is always 100x better than the first.... but yeah there are crap tons of good BBQ places around

Fully agreed about the experience. But you can get just as good of an experience at either of the County Lines, imo
