    What surprised me most other than I thought my plane had a forced landing due to all the trees, hills and water, was how little traffic was on MOPAC. I should probably mention I came here in 1978, and MOPAC didn’t cross the river and it ended at Far West Boulevard, which was right where we lived.

    Just moved here, surprised how little sun I see in a given week. Mornings are cloudy about 75% of the time, and if the sun does come out, it's later in the afternoon.

    130 ticketed live music events in a year? What does that mean? There’s like 130 live music events every night in Austin.
