What is a MUST do in Austin?
We love Barton Springs (especially in warmer months). South Congress has so much in a close proximity. Park close to Jo’s Coffee and stroll from there (shopping, cafes, music!). Vera Cruz tacos are really the best Austin has! Our Capital is gorgeous and very worrth a drive by!Austin, like many other cities across America, is experiencing a crisis of homelessness. To that end, you may run across a few tent encampments in the hood. Honestly, no one will really want anything from you, but some folk from out of town are disconcerted when they come across it.

We love our neighbors so quiet after 10pm.
