My brother SWFL always drops the knowledge! I've lived in Austin for many years and live outside in the suburbs now. Orlando is a dumpster compared to Austin - not even close and I've lived in FL for many years. Our music scene here is insane, nightlife outta control, lots of beautiful parks in the city - Barton Springs Pool and Zilker which holds Austin City Limits music festival and the food is unreal, especially the BBQ. I'll take this over Mickey Mouse and friends and a ****** downtown. Oh and I have UT, A&M and Baylor all within a stones throw to watch a game. And lastly, the woman in cowboy boots, daisy dukes and sundresses will have you drooling.
