Now I swear you can drive from Georgetown to San Antonio (what 120 miles?) and you would be hard pressed to find more than a few miles of land that does not have a mall, shopping center, gas station, apartments or business parks built on it.  the longest stretch of empty land might be between San Marcus and New Braunfuls, 5 miles maybe.

I live outside of Austin also, between Bastrop and Lockhart about 20 southwest of the airport.


Aint this the truth. I was born in San Marcos. Lived in Staples a year or so when I was VERY young.

WIde open spaces all around. Now....one HUGE CITY by a bunch of names.

lol, and what about the fat, cholesterol, salt and sugar?

You compare American chinese food to traditional asian dishes with a little msg

They also invented pasta, but I wouldn't call them a leader in itailian food

You will notice (or maybe you haven't) that I said nothing about American Chinese food. (or even take out)

Sounds like a description for Boulder, Colorado: 40 square miles surrounded by reality"

That was my point.

Also, about Texas politics, it seems you have started a number, or at least one, threads regarding such in the last few months.  Off the top of my head was the Perry innoculation plan thread.

Red top,

We have some friends in Round Rock and were there in the beginning of April. They live in a subdivision just off of exit 254 Old settlers Blvd. We actually parked our rig in front of their house for a couple days. Kinda freaked the neighbors out a bit. :D

Austin is an ok place I guess. Kinda fun to go to on random occasions, but it isnt somewhere I'd want to live or stay there for a prolonged period of time. To many crazy liberals and burnt orange. On top of that I always end up getting sick when I go there. Not sure why, but it has happened often enough not to be considered coincidence.
