[Love: My City & Me] Austin, Austin…how I love thee

by Lindsey M.

Tell me your story about your city, she asked me…

I’m not sure what to tell other than I came, I saw, I danced, I laughed, I ate, I drank, I ate again and I fell in love.

A few things in between:

Tubing on the Guadalupe
Twirling in the hot summer sun
Hook ‘em horns
Brunch at Fonda San Miguel
Aimless driving with the top down on 2222
Hippies and singers and artists and cowboys and SoCal transplants
Guero’s fish tacos
Ghosts that haunt the Driskill
Margs on the rooftop of Iron Cactus
Avoiding North Austin like the plague
Entire districts devoted to drinking
BBQ – Ironworks, Salt Lick – brisket, brisket, brisket
Rudy’s – fill up on gas & breakfast tacos
By George
Burritos as big as your head (or bigger)
Uchi (best damn sushi)
Taco Cabana at 3 a.m.
Casino El Camino – badass burgers
SoCo
Salsa bar at Polvos
Devil’s Cove boating and boozing
Lazy Sundays at Hula Hut
Austin Chronicle reads outside at Austin Java
Quesadillas at Chuy’s
2 for 1 burgers at Huts
Tejas rockin’ and rollin’ at Stubbs
Taking a dip in Barton Springs
Armstrong and Dell, Bullock and Wilson, McConaughey and Roddick.
Kinky mother fucking Friedman
Cowboy boots and sundresses
Cowboy hats and too short cut offs
Falling in love, under the big, open, hopeful Texas sky…
