I didn't grow up in Austin, but I got there as soon as I could. I kinda miss it, but most of my Austin is gone, dissapeared around 2010. There are still a few of my places around (Wally's Burger Express, Galaxy Cafe, Mangia) but not many.

I lived near downtown when I first moved there and was just a quick run to the capitol in Hyde Park, back when it was affordable to live there. Lots to do in that area. Still lots, but most of it now is overpriced, and lacking the culture that made me move there to begin with (I miss the Frisco Shop, Ken's Donuts and Mother's).

Missing home a lot these days. But even if I went back, I think I'd still miss the memory of home.
