Have you or anyone you know ever been to the Austin area? Are you or have you considered visiting the city? If Austin is not even remotely familiar to you, then you have come to the right place. Austin, Texas is a large city in the state of Texas. It is the capital city of the state of Texas.
The state of Texas itself is huge (when measured purely by land mass), which is perhaps, where the phrase "Don't Mess with Texas" comes from. In fact, the state of Texas is the second largest state in the U.S by both land mass and population size.
The city of Austin, TX itself sits in Travis County. It is ranked the 35th largest city in the USA by population numbers. The climate of the city of Austin is humid and subtropical which more or less means... hot summers and mild winters. The very hottest recorded temperature was -- get ready for this -- 112 degrees fahrenheit (44 celsius) in the year 2000, during September. This was quite the hot month!
Austin has become renown for its unusually liberal politics in what is normally perceived-to-be a mostly conservative state. This is often alluded to in jest by those of more conservative leanings by calling the city by the name of "The People's Republic of Austin".
The high-tech sector is very important to the economy in Austin, Texas, as it is considered a hub for both the technology and defense industry sectors, which is mostly fueled by the engineering and science training programs of the University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, Austin, TX is considered a hub for pharmaceutical and bio-tech companies. There are about 85 companies from the bio-tech and pharmaceutical industry in Austin, Texas.
Interestingly enough, a famous local motto in Austin is "Keep Austin Weird." You may see this on bumper stickers and on shirts. The "weird" part which Austinites are referring to are the arts, and Austin's well-known love of music.
Perhaps it is these things that helped Austin, TX achieve 2nd place in the 2006 "Best Places to Live" list compiled by Money magazine. Austin's night life center around the nightclubs on the famous 6th street and the film/music/interactive festival that has become popular in the area known as South by Southwest. South by Southwest is an annual festival.
