Loved the large town small city vibes in the 70s and 80s. Graduated LBJ in 1981, came back from military in 1990, and finally moved in '07....Tooooooo many odd balls and "leaders" there....Only go there for va appts now..Have a great one.Thank You for your service Sir.
Yes, the farther you can get away from Austin...the better.
I grew up and went to school there, but moved away in 1984 when it was just getting too big for my wife and I. Most of my family still live there (but out at the Lake). I don't even recognize it anymore.
Not at all the wonderful wonderful city it was in my childhood and as an early adult.
