politics, tech, music, film, the University of Texas and the South Congress Bridge Bats, which continue to
“Keep Austin Weird.”
Austin is a unique blend of big-city opportunity and that small-town Texas hospitality and charm. While you’re
here make time to stroll Austin’s beautiful outdoor spaces, including nearby Town Lake, or take in some local
culture including the ballet, world-class museums and one-of-a-kind shopping.
