Austin, TexasWe ATX

Welcome to austin.com. If you’ve made it here, you’ve surely learned by now that Austinites are in love with their city. You know…that whole “love” versus “in love” thing; we’re in love. It’s that deep, man.

The thing is, just about everyone who visits here quickly catches the same vibe. So it’s not that we’re crazy or anything.

It could be something magical in the air—lore has it that indigenous native groups considered this area a safe zone from any war or conflict, something to do with all the natural cold springs that bubble from the earth forming a lush oasis amidst the Texas landscape. Or it could be the all-inclusive “no worries” attitude of folks around here—could rednecks, hippies, and computer geeks really have bonded so tightly anywhere else? Then again it might be something more tangible, like the ridiculously talented music scene, the astonishingly eclectic cuisine, the vibrant arts and culture…

Rather than continue ballyhooing ‘bout how great we have it, we invite you to poke around austin.com to get a taste for yourself. More poignantly, we invite you to love Austin like we do.

HOTELS

Since we used up our sarcasm in the last one, we’ll be on the straight and narrow. This section highlights some popular hotels. But not just any ‘ol place to lie your head; these are some of the most Austiny, locally owned favorites.

THE DEEP END

There’s no real section called the deep end. We’re just saying that by now, maybe it’s time to take off the floaties and take a swim in the rest of austin.com, the resource locals use to keep abreast of the latest happenings around town. Use the site to find daily live music listings (with descriptions of the bands), features on upcoming theater performances and art exhibits, upcoming special events, a peek into the burgeoning film community.
