  • Are you thinking about visiting Austin and want to know what there is to do? If so this video is for you! Our time in Austin is coming to an end and we thought we should put together a video that categorizes what makes Austin so unique. Hopefully this video encourages you to come check out this great city as well as gives you ideas of what to do while you are here.
    This video is broken down into five main categories: Food, Music, nightlife, outdoors, and history.
    Food: Austin is a city that offers every type of food. When you visit you will be able to find any type of food that you are looking for. While you are in Austin, make sure to eat at a food truck and check out some BBQ. In the video we check out Micklethwait and Franklins bbq .
    Music: Austin is known as the live music capitol of the world. Some popular names that started in Austin are Ghostland Observatory, Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many more. If you like music, Austin is the place you want to visit to get your fix.
    Austin Music Calendar: bit.ly/2niAdFE
    Nightlife: Austin has more bars per person than any other city in the united states. As a result you can find any type or style of bar you could imagine. In the video, we discuss the four main districts (2018). East sixth, Dirty Sixth, West Sixth, and Rainey street.
    Outdoors: Austin is an easy city to be active in. There are many parks, rivers, and lakes to explore. A few of our favorite places are lady bird lake, Barton spring pool, the green belt, lake Travis, lake Austin, and the hope graffiti wall. The new location for the hope graffiti wall is supposed to be at: 9507 Sherman Rd. It is supposed to open at the end of 2018, but double check before heading there to make sure it actually exists!
    History: Austin is full of rich history. If you visit we recommend visiting the bullock museum and the Texas state capitol.

    Speaking as a true born and raised tejano, can i just say that Austin is my hometown and is an awsome place to visit. Theres cool music, friendly people, very nice rivers and parks. We got it all here, but PLEASE STOP moving HERE! The last thing im sure anyone wants is for austin to be like LA and its already getting there. We were a small city with a hip blues and rock and roll vibe. But too many Californians are changing this city and not for better either. Besides that, welcome to texas and God Bless.

    • @adrianmedina5188
      @adrianmedina5188 5 років тому +1

      No im sorry what i mean to say is that ever since the first californian resturant opened here ( I cant remember the name ) thats when a lot of things got pretty bad. Like the forcing of bike lanes laws, heavy traffic that didnt exist before, removing historical statues/names downtown, and now the talk about changing the name from Austin to Waterloo. Its just ridiculous. I dont want to not welcome any one to this awsome city but when a swarm of people try to come in here and mess with your hometown its almost a crime.

    I was. Orn and raised in Austin. I remember watching the sniper at the UT tower in 1966. There is mo mentioning of the gentle rolling hills, the lakes, or the capitol. 6th street is geared up for UT students and filled with crappy bars and bands. The bars come and go in this distracted. The reason is because of alcohol violations, watered down drinks, and they go out business due to mismanagement. I have seen so many bars come and go. This district used to be the the warehouse district. Austin used to be a cool, friendly, and laid back but not so much anymore. Austin became known as the "live music capitol" because of Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker. What they did was bridge the gap between rock and country music. SXSW is overrated. This came about in the 80's. There used to be an event known as Aquafest which promoted the lakes. They used to have hydroplane boat races but were banned bevauuse of noise. As far as food is concerned BBQ is king in Austin. There is more but thats all for now.
