Austin, Texas has always been a vibrant combination of youth, music, energy and technology.
However, the word got out.
Suddenly, all these people who were told that "Austin is cool" have moved here.
The city is ripe with high-tech, high-rise condos. There are hip pan-asian health food boutiques. Everyone has a California drivers license, blond hair and excellent teeth.
It's like parachuting in to an episode of The Real World.
The whole city is obsessed with maintaining that edge, a remarkably difficult task.
Unfortunately, becoming 'hip' tends to outprice the truly hip away.
It's a double edged sword. Austin used to be 'cool', but there was extremely little to do.
Now, it seems that they've paved parking lot, put up a paradise.
