Maybe its weird for Texas but I think I've seen stranger people in Salt Lake City than Austin 
Cool town though |
agreed, except it was true though. austin used to be that like 20-25yrs ago before it boomed. ditto for its northern twin columbus. both lost the laidback hippy vibes and the oddball street characters to development. of course reality on the ground moves at a much faster pace than reputations.
the pac coasts retain more quirks in some neighborhoods because they resist developments while the austins/columbuses/nashvilles, etc. cant embrace redevelopment enough.
