Austin is a great city where the races and culture vary. It is just the right amount of crazy and sane.
Except maybe, it is becoming too much like a ‘steel city’, meaning that all of the buildings are being knocked down, and turned into condos for easier transport throughout the different streets. Austin is becoming more of a tourist attraction (even though more concerts are held on Dallas and Houston!) if you happen to come here, visit the Alamo Drafthouse, it serves dinner and a movie with lots of leg room, unlike most theaters, and they have great chocolate cookies for dessert.

6th Street has the most diversity in different cultures. There are tattoo places, bars, but don’t get me wrong, it is a great place to bring family and kids. Go to the costume stores, restaurants, or live music.
I think that you should come check Austin, TX out ASAP.
