I used to live in Austin, Texas. I moved to San Marcos two months ago to finish my last year at Texas State University. I've been wondering this question for quite sometime. Why doesn't Austin have more culture? Why doesn't The Live Music Capital of the World have an opera, symphony, or orchestra? Not everybody wants to go down to 6th Street and rub elbows with frat boys while 40 y/o adolescents play Rock-a-Billy? Why doesn't Austin have more museums, a theme park, a real zoo, aquarium, planetarium, or a live theater?
Yes I know San Antonio is right down the road. So what! Baltimore is right down the road from Washington, DC. They have all those things there. San Diego is right down the road from LA. They have all those things there. Milwaukee is right down the road from Chicago. They have all those thing there. Orlando is right down the road from Tampa. They have all those things there. To me, it would seem even more impractical to drive down to San Antonio for all the festivities with the prices of gas soaring through the roof.
Why does the entire cultural hearth of Austin have to revolve around either the Capital, 6th street, and the University? Why doesn't Austin have more diversified festivities?
