Circuit of The Americas Facebook page brought me to this video. I will be visiting Austin in November for the F1 US grand prix. Can't wait, looks so fun!!!
Spent 3 days in your lovely city , topped off by the Blue October show at Stubbs. Hope to make it back someday for a longer visit .Austin you got it goin on ,good luck to you .
@:36 While Technically correct that the 1st Capitol in Austin was built in 1853, the current structure shown in this frame was not completed until 1888. The Original building was a completely different White looking structure until it burned down in 1881, which is the same year the current capitol (in frame) was designed.
I'm surprised you only mentioned the track for less than a second it seemed. This track is going to be the home of f1. F1 has the biggest economic boost to a city more than any other sport in the world. It is second to soccer in the world, but just like soccer, isn't quit popular here in the US yet. Over the course of this week, if you live in Austin. Many hundreds and thousands of people will be flying there in anticipation over this race, Austin is a bit on a world stage right now.
I've always loved that small town feel. Moved to Austin in the summer of 1966, from Azle,Texas.
Born and raised, love going to 6th street cant miss that, car relays, live music.

There were so many things to include. As an avid twitter user, I do agree that was a big deal!
Good history lesson of ATX
Would have liked to see something about Barton Sprigs or Lance Armstrong? Perhaps the next video. Either way great video.
no Vulcan Gas Company or Texas Opera House?
I live in Austin!!!
Great video but its missing one thing - do the names Darrell, Earl, Ricky, Mack, Vince and Colt ring a bell? Maybe its a licensing issue.
What about Twitter becoming a national sensation due to activity at SXSWi in 2007?
i live in austin
Friday Night Lights > Twitter
Just sayin the capital was built in 1888 or at least the current one was
Thanks for catching! Here's more info: www.tspb.state.tx.us/SPB/capitol/texcap.htm
