I actually have started to see and hear Austin mentioned more without Texas. I figured in time now that the city does get a lot of national and international attention that it will become less of a need to add Texas. To be fair though I have heard the other 3 largest cities have Texas added after their names occasionally as well.

Well I have to admit that it sounds good together. Austin, Texas. Since my simple life, simple brain wrapped around this, I realized that when asked where I'm from, I always say Poughkeepsie, NY, and even though I'm the only person named John at work, I'm usually greeted by co-workers saying my first and last name. No one else every gets the first and last name greet.
