Downtown has always been the CBD + State
East Austin = east of the freeway/East Avenue
West Austin = West of Mopac
Old West Austin = West of Lamar but East of Mopac/south of 15thst/MLK
Campus = Campus
Central Austin = areas North of Campus but South of 2222
North Austin = North of 2222
South Austin = South of the River
North of 183 = South Dallas
