    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.

        I thought that was Wall Drug in North Dakota?

          It’s actually located in South Dakota.
