Actually, we've bought a place in Brazos county. Have a son and three grandkids there. ...and one, and a grandkid, in Gainesville, a cousin in Plano and one in Paradise, and know lots of people in Corpus.
Austin is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. We love The Continental Club, Waterloo Records, The Book People, SoCo, Zilker park and, oh yeah, can't forget Salt Lick.
...but we wouldn't want to live there. Living in a bowl of granola is fine in short bursts but I couldn't do it full time.
