Is Chicago a transplant or a transient city? I feel like it's maybe both?
It's the defacto capital of the Upper-Midwest...and most people post college do at least a little time in Chicago? I dunno...as what I assume is a Chicago-lifer now...what say you? Previous Message Previous Message ...that Austin seems to be really popular with transplants and visitors. Of the native Texans I know, only our sales guy and my nephew really like Austin...the rest of them speak derisively about it. The 4 friends I know who moved there went: - Urbana > Chicago > Austin > Chicago (Grad School) - Chicago > LA > Austin > LA (Hell No) - FLorida > Boston > Austin > Bay Area (Hell No) - ECI > Chicago > Austin > Waco (Long term Austin resident) The last one lived in Austin for like 20 years and raised his kids there. Previous Message Austin clearly the best city. so your friends got surprised that Austin was the best city in tx? or that it wasn't full of rattlesnakes? wut. Previous Message ...in my company, everyone based in Texas hates Austin except for the one sales guy who lives in Austin. I have 4 friends I know who moved to Austin...two of them moved back to California and one of them who moved to Austin in the 1990s has since moved on to Waco, lamenting that "Austin ain't Austin anymore". One is still in Austin and loves it. Am I wholly off base? Previous Message and then headed to Johnson City for 2 nights for a girlies weekend. Apparently, there are a bunch of wineries in the area? Put together just the cutest little gift bags for the gals. On the go Metamucil Liquid IV Mini bottles of Titos Cowboy boot earrings, in a variety of colors. Dark chocolate Reeses And my personal favorite, assless chaps guys that sit A TOP the wine glass!!!
