Visit Austin
Austin is just simply not like the rest of Texas. From the quirky cast of
characters that populate Congress Avenue to burnt orange-clad University of
Texas students, bats to Longhorns, four-star restaurants to down-home barbecue
joints, corporate CEOs to struggling musicians, Texas' capital city stands apart
from the rest.
It's hip and trendy, yet in a vintage sort of way. It's high-tech and laid-back.
It's politically charged and culturally rich. It's eclectic by nature and
creative by design. Most of all, it's a place where people like to have a good
time.Here are the midyear 2005 demographic projections for Austin:
