Home to Amazon.com, Apple Inc., Cisco, eBay, General Motors, Google, IBM, Intel, Oracle Corporation, PayPal, Texas Instruments, and Whole Foods, Austin is the fastest growing large city in the United States. U.S. News & World Report named Austin the #1 place to live in the U.S. for 2017 and 2018.
By the 1990’s, Austin emerged as a center for technology and business. Dell’s worldwide headquarters is located in a nearby suburb, Round Rock. Austin is the capital of the U.S. state of Texas, the 11th-most populous city in the United States and the 4th-most populous city in Texas.
In 2016, Forbes ranked Austin #1 on its “Cities of the Future” list, then in 2017 placed the city at that same position on its list for the “Next Biggest Boom Town in the U.S.” Also in 2017, Forbes awarded the South River City neighborhood of Austin its #2 ranking for “Best Cities and Neighborhoods for Millennials”. WalletHub named Austin the #6 best place in the country to live for 2017. The FBI ranked Austin as the #2 safest major city in the U.S. for 2012.
Austin is the second most populous state capital after Phoenix, Arizona, and the southernmost state capital in the contiguous United States. As of the U.S. Census Bureau’s July 1, 2018 estimate, Austin had a population of 964,254 up from 790,491 at the 2010 census. Located in Central Texas within the greater Texas Hill Country, it is home to numerous lakes, rivers, and waterways, including Lady Bird Lake and Lake Travis on the Colorado River, Barton Springs, McKinney Falls, and Lake Walter E. Long.
In the 1830s, pioneers began to settle the area in central Austin along the Colorado River. In 1839, the site was chosen to replace Houston as the capital of the Republic of Texas and was incorporated under the name “Waterloo”. Shortly afterward, the name was changed to Austin in honor of Stephen F. Austin, the “Father of Texas” and the republic’s first secretary of state. The city grew throughout the 19th century and became a center for government and education with the construction of the Texas State Capitol and the University of Texas at Austin.
Residents of Austin are known as Austinites. They include a diverse mix of government employees, college students, musicians, high-tech workers, and blue-collar workers. The city’s official slogan promotes Austin as “The Live Music Capital of the World,” a reference to the city’s many musicians and live music venues, as well as the long-running PBS TV concert series Austin City Limits. The city also adopted “Silicon Hills” as a nickname in the 1990s due to a rapid influx of technology and development companies. In recent years, some Austinites have adopted the unofficial slogan “Keep Austin Weird,” which refers to the desire to protect small, unique, and local businesses from being overrun by large corporations. In the late 19th century, Austin was known as the “City of the Violet Crown,” because of the colorful glow of light across the hills just after sunset. Even today, many Austin businesses use the term “Violet Crown” in their name. Austin is known as a “clean-air city” for its stringent no-smoking ordinances that apply to all public places and buildings, including restaurants and bars.

¡¡ CIEGOS GUIAS DE CIEGOS !!
¡ HIPÓCRITAS !
Porque no hay cosa OCULTA, que no haya de ser MANIFESTADA; ni cosa ESCONDIDA, que no haya de ser ENTENDIDA, Y DE VENIR Á LUZ.
MAS LO QUE OS FUERE DADO EN AQUELLA HORA, ESO HABLAD; PORQUE NO SOIS VOSOTROS LOS QUE HABLÁIS, SINO EL ESPÍRITU SANTO..💯⚖🖖🏼👈
EL ESPÍRITU SANTO, al cual EL PADRE ENVIARÁ EN MI NOMBRE, él os ENSEÑARÁ TODAS LAS COSAS, y os RECORDARÁ todas las cosas que os HE DICHO.
cuando VINIERE aquel ESPÍRITU DE VERDAD, ÉL OS GUIARÁ Á TODA VERDAD; porque NO hablará de sí mismo, sino que HABLARÁ todo lo que OYERE, Y OS HARÁ SABER LAS COSAS QUE HAN DE VENIR.
😎EL CONSOLADOR PROMETIDO❤⚖💯🖖🏼😇
Sí hijito; el llamado capitalismo perdió al llamado mundo cristiano; porque nó se puede servir a dios, y servir a la vez al oro; toda la humanidad pidió servir al Padre sin interés; el extraño sistema de vida basado en el oro, perdió a toda la humanidad; porque toda acción mental, fué influenciada por el interés; no hay criatura humana, que no tenga puntaje de tinieblas, por haber conocido el interés; no hay quien no llore por este puntaje de tinieblas; mientras mayor es el puntaje en contra, más alejado está el espíritu del Reino de los Cielos; mientras se fué interesado en la vida, cada ser debe sumarse un punto de tinieblas, por cada segundo vivido; a partir de los doce años de edad, HASTA EL INSTANTE DEL ARREPENTIMIENTO MISMO;.-
Alfa y Omega
EL LLAMADO CAPITALISMO, NÓ ESTÁ ESCRITO EN EL REINO DE LOS CIELOS; PORQUE NADIE PIDIÓ SER EXPLOTADO, EN NINGUNA FORMA IMAGINABLE; NADA INTERESADO EXSISTE EN EL REINO; ALLÍ EXSISTE LA IGUALDAD Ó COMUNISMO CELESTIAL, CON FILOSOFÍA DE NIÑO; EL EXTRAÑO CAPITALISMO, PERTENECE A UN LEJANO Y MICROSCÓPICO PLANETA LLAMADO TIERRA; UN EXTRAÑO SISTEMA DE VIDA, SALIDO DE LAS TINIEBLAS, QUE PIDIERON AL PADRE, CONOCER UN MUNDO DE LA LUZ.-
Y pondrá las ovejas á su derecha, y los cabritos á la izquierda.
Entonces el Rey dirá á los que estarán á su derecha: Venid, benditos de mi Padre, heredad el reino preparado para vosotros desde la fundación del mundo.
Porque tuve hambre, y me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y me disteis de beber; fuí huésped, y me recogisteis;
Desnudo, y me cubristeis; enfermo, y me visitasteis; estuve en LA CÁRCEL, y vinisteis á mí.
Entonces los justos le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, y te sustentamos? ¿ó sediento, y te dimos de beber?
¿Y cuándo te vimos huésped, y te recogimos? ¿ó desnudo, y te cubrimos?
¿O cuándo te vimos enfermo, ó en LA CÁRCEL, y vinimos á ti?
Y respondiendo el Rey, les dirá: De cierto os digo que en cuanto lo hicisteis á uno de estos mis hermanos pequeñitos, á mí lo hicisteis.
Entonces dirá también á los que estarán á la izquierda: Apartaos de mí, malditos, AL FUEGO ETERNO preparado para EL DIABLO y para SUS ANGELES:
Porque tuve hambre, y no me disteis de comer; tuve sed, y no me disteis de beber;
Fuí huésped, y no me recogisteis; desnudo, y no me cubristeis; enfermo, y en LA CÁRCEL, y no me visitasteis.
Entonces también ellos le responderán, diciendo: Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos hambriento, ó sediento, ó huésped, ó desnudo, ó enfermo, ó en LA CÁRCEL, y no te servimos?
Entonces les responderá, diciendo: De cierto os digo que en cuanto no lo hicisteis á uno de estos pequeñitos, ni á mí lo hicisteis.
E irán éstos al TORMENTO ETERNO, y los justos á la VIDA ETERNA.

Austin is a vegan city Im vegan and Im planning moving to Austin next year from San Antonio.
My first visiting to Austin was like magic for all the vegan restaurants there. Cant wait to move.
This really makes me see how stressful driving can be
Amazing! ❤️
Wow that's an interesting way to park cars
I was French born in Paris and my dream is to come and live in the United States. And as a rather affordable city at the end of the price of living, I may perhaps move to Austin later. After first, I will come to the United States on vacation to see it in person because it is not good to have an idea without having really seen it.
I'm so glad I moved to Austin!
Man as of 2021 it looks so different.
Texas is an amazing state, I just don't live there because of the hot weather 🙂
The climate of London already pleases me, if I ever move there, I will definitely choose the northern states, where they are colder.
It just came up to me just now by unknown algorithm! Oh my gosh as soon as I saw thumbnail I'm overwhelmed cuz I've been missing a lot Austin since I came back to Korea even though I lived there only over a year in 2018. Always I wanted go back there. This vedio remind me that time I was in there, so I might visit Austin for a short trip for a week next spring. Thank you:)
Beautiful City 🏙️🏙️
