This is a great video! Shows the diversity of Texas/Austin! Little bit of a goth scene there.. neato! and then you feel transported to Mexico! Can eat a burrito! Then we teleport to some cute rave looking rainbow happy place? Reminds me of one of my old sims games where everything was cute and colourful.
@@cconnon1912 I just liked it when the Population was around 350,000 . I am 66 but when I use to go there in the mid *60- mid 90 's it was joyful to go there now I drive around it by at least 20miles. It's a shame because Austin was my favorite City in Texas. Now it's just another Dallas, Houston or San Antonio.. Also I liked Texas when the population was 10-15 million not the 30-40 million now Days.
@@cconnon1912no ,I was born and raised in Austin, been to sixth to many times,never saw the s#$t going on there now 🎉, way out of control and not safe for anyone anymore
This is a very good video... I subscribed. I like walk throughs and Real stuff... not just corporate promo stuff. I can not get myself to make the journey to walk this street. It just as no appeal to me. Why do so many people look like they are NOT having fun? For College Age kids I can see the Appeal on a weekend night but for most people it just seems like a lot of effort to get some overpriced food and listen to a cover band. These are my opinions... and I'll just leave it at that. Gonna go watch some of your other stuff now. Thx
@@bradnov89 tourist trap, 6th street over rated, 40yrs ago was the true mecca of blues bands, Antones was the place,the original Continental club,South congress was run down, glad it revive,

A "whole other scene" .... like rooftop bars on top of hotels? Like the LGBT district on 4th? Like Vince young steakhouse? Republic square? The capitol building? Concerts at acl live? I suppose all those could definitely be considered "a whole other scene

People are strange when they are strangers
The hippies are all dead or gone.
Nothing left but squares and alcohol.
Everything is so contrived, trying to be hip.
This is a great video!

They say Keep Austin Weird,I Think they Achieved that, I used to Like it there .Not Any MORE.
I think you’ve just gotten old. It’s always been crazy down there.

I love these videos since I want to move to Austin.
Have fun with the insane traffic to every place you go!
Keep it weird
@@truthbtold2260, Not nearly as bad as Los Angeles.
You probably belong there
Glad I left.
It was boarded up a few years ago. Glad it appears to have revive.
If I hear Tucanes de tijuana music, then I know where to get perico😵💫😵lol. On 6th street
Love it when new Clubs open up. I need to check out The Venue. looks like an open roof style like Fat Tuesdays back in the day.
What about weeknights--is there any action at all on a Thurs night?
I miss home!😢 I’m coming soon!
Damn, that's a lotta cops for one tiny neighborhood (from Montreal Canada here so it's surprising to me). Are they there every night?
Cops aren’t usually that prominent it just so happens that this is 6th street where a lot of partying happens.

Wouldnt it be totally insane if this was a monday night
My wife and I are planning a trip to Austin next year. Any recommendations regarding 6th street and surrounding areas?

What was the pizza place called. Death metal pizza. Not sure if it's still there.
Hoek's Death Metal Pizza. It was so good. This video though....good times are long gone.
Take a little stroll on the other side of those buildings and you'll see a whole different scene.

Yeah and it’s not all promotional stuff like you said
@@ScarlettDixie homeless
Looks lit, when’s the best time of the year to party?
Spring or fall. Avoid the place in the summer as Texas summers are hot.
@@carbonunit57🐀🐁🐀!!!
Too bad it was damn near dead when I visited in January. School was still out on break
Where’s Rogen’s Mothership?
3:05 WTF?! This guy in burgundy thirt looks just like me! I even have the same set of clothes! XD

There's nothing more disgusting than politicians begging for money.
Dirty Sixth is right.
Niceeeee
So, another place to get wasted and hope to get laid. I'm waiting to hear the Blues echoing through the streets. Oh well
The gentrified, transplanted version
SEAMS LIKE A LOT OF MEN JUST STANDING AROUND LOOKING STUPID!!!!!!!!!
