Drawn by the promise of an emerging tech hub, some tech workers who flocked to Austin found a middling tech scene, subpar culture, and scorching heat.

I’ve never lived in Austin but it was very underwhelming to visit. It’s hard to fathom why people would choose to live there over CA. Just look at the quality of life metrics. And it’s not even affordable to live there.
Good BBQ though.
It's the world's largest strip mall.
Perfectly sums up my experience there.
I thought that was Wall Drug in North Dakota?
It's actually located in South Dakota.
Even better.
Food - that’s it IMO
And music maybe
