Ten Reasons Why I Live in Austin, Texas!


After I completed my last post, I received a comment from someone (my husband), who challenged me to enumerate why I love living the Austin, Texas. So in response to his request, below are the top 10 reasons why I love loving in Austin, TX.
  1. It's a very progressive city (art, music and film scenes are above most others in Texas).
  2. It's very clean and green! Having moved here from Houston, Tx, the difference is quite noticeable.
  3. There are lots of activities in the community. Visit www.austin360.com for the latest mainstream Austin info and www.auschron.com for alternative Austin info.
  4. It's a very compact city, very easy to navigate.
  5. Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake) is located in Downtown Austin.
  6. Lots of outdoor activities, hike and bike trails for running and cycling, dog parks, and rowing.
  7. Festivals for all people...SXSW, ACL Fest, Urban Music Festival, Austin Film Festival, Pecan Street Festival, etc...etc...etc.
  8. The Pennybacher/360 Bridge, it's beautiful. I truly enjoy driving to the lake or just around town near Cap Tx Hwy/360, the views are spectacular!
  9. People are very friendly and helpful. It's a truly "laid back" town.
  10. It's a great place to raise kids! My girls love living the the state capitol.

Austin is a great city! I'd invite anyone to visit our great city! It's unlike any other city in Texas!
