What is so great about Austin?

This was the place. This is going to be my home. But in the back of my mind, I was wondering, “What is so great about Austin, anyway?”

There are many reasons Austin is great, but it boils down to one amazing reason; Austin is weird! Austin has so much weirdness, that normal places like San Diego seem like the most boring and uninteresting place one could possibly live. For instance, if you were to walk down south congress and take in the sights, you would just scratch the surface of how cool and weird Austin is. Almost anywhere you look, there is something weird that you couldn’t find in another city. Personally, I like being able to see people just as weird, and weirder than me walking around my home city. “Why be normal?” is the best way to describe Austin in all of its glory.

Also, there is so much do to here! You could go eat at a really good restaurant, see the bats fly out from under the congress bridge, and listen to live music all before the night is over. Say you were to come during one of the many festivals throughout the year, you would be entertained for days! Even the neighborhoods surrounding the city are cool and interesting. Go for a drive on the east side (east of I-35) and compare that to the westlake neighborhoods. Take a drive up to Lake Travis and spend a day out on the water. Even after 3 years living here, I still can’t believe how much I haven’t done here.

Austin is a great place to live and grow up in. Now that I live here, I just can’t imagine living in a boring, uninteresting city.
