Town Profile Submit your town Austin, TexasSubmitted by Sonya Crocker Austin is not my hometown, but it is where I have lived for 2 years. It is a big city with an intimate feel. It is eclectic and involved with events like the annual kite festival that have huge turnouts. It has beautiful lakes and a river that runs right through downtown. The capital is beautiful, 6th street is famous for its bars and fun environment, there are tons of amazing local resturants. Our motto is "Keep Austin Weird" and we are the only county in Texas that had a democratic majority. At least stop by Austin, you won't be disappointed. Boerne, TexasSubmitted by Jessica Holzman Boerne is a unique little town just 30 miles north of San Antonio. It is refered to as the "Key to the Hills" since it is the beginning of the Hill Country. Main Street of Boerne is filled with Antique shops and food. It's crazy because for a little German town, we don't have any German restaruants, just Tex-Mex and American food. When I first moved down here in 2000 from Dallas, there were only 4-5 stop lights and now we are expanding rapidly. It has grown so much that we are building another high school just to keep up with the growth. For a small town, we have 5 elementry schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high schools (the new one will be completed in the fall of 2008 and both will be 4A). The most scenic area would have to be at a little ranch in Pipe Creek (By Bandera) where I volunteer to help the disabled on horseback. Most people spend time at La Cantera Mall or at our new Bass Pro Shop and Palladium IMAX/movie theater. I spend time at the ranch with my horse who has been blind for 6 months now. In our newspaper, they have the police reports from the previous week and majority of the police calls were about horses, cows, goats, and other 4 legged animal running around in the streets. They also had one about a deer attacking a person and dog. Many people living out here today on big ranchs have been here for decades, even centuries, and they continue to pass it down the to their children. For those who have "snow days", here in Boerne, we have "flood days." So Long from B-Town Boerne College Station, TexasSubmitted by Siera Home of the Fightin' Texas Aggies!
