Three years ago I went to Austin for work. I thought it was a great town. Could

easily see myself living there. Fast forward to April of this year. I spent a week in Austin and left with a bad taste in my mouth. Seemed like the BBQ joints had gone downhill. Everywhere I turned the homeless population seemed out of control. The music venues had gone downhill.

I now have no desire to return.

My perception of FC relative to Big 12 towns: Austin > Ft Collins > All others

Maybe that's because it's a huge city rather than a "town."
