Was just walking around downtown Austin with my sister and wife, saw Timmy walking by Gus’s fried chicken. Dude was with his girl and his daughter, dressed like a hobo per par, don’t think he had shaved in a good month or two.

and no I didn’t bother him or ask for a picture because I’m not an ass hole tbh. Was kind of crazy that no one recognized him or were bothering him though

I didn’t realize it was him at first because he looked so scruffy and was dressed like a bum. Once I saw his face I had to do a double take. Thought it was pretty nice he could walk around downtown with his family and not be bothered

You should have asked him how the fuck did he blow that bunny over Shane Battier in game 7. He has such a wry sense of humor he likely would have bonded with you instantly.

Austin is pretty cool about letting celebrities have some peace. There are always well known people around which might add to the reason why it's not unusual. When you're 7 feet tall it's hard for people not to have a second take. Spent most my life there and it's usually very chilled out...like Tim.

Once Clint Eastwood was staying in town and he loves jazz, so there is a cool jazz club near the Four Seasons where he has staying and he went several nights in a row. A friend of mine, Michael, was the bartender and taking his parties' order so he knew what he was drinking. A couple nights into his stay he came in on his own to hear some music again and came to the bar by himself. When he walked he didn't say a word and just nodded to the bartender, who again knew his drink of choice by then. When he brought Clint his drink he couldn't help himself and said 'Hey sir I'm sorry to bother you, but it's an honor to have you here. I don't want to trouble you , but do you mind signing an autograph for me? My Mom can't believe I'm serving you?' Clint again without speaking nodded his head 'yes' and my friend said 'Please make it out to Susan.' After he signed it Michael gushed 'Wow this is so cool thank you very much!' At that time, speaking for the first time in his best gruff Dirty Harry voice, Clint said, "Well Susan...all you had to do was ask?' Making it all the more cool!

Incorrect. Austin is a huge Spurs town. I know certain things have to happen, but eventually they should just start calling it the Austin-San Antonio metro. That will get rid of the whole small market label crud.

Was on drink #10 at Lavaca Street bar about 7 yrs ago in Atx. Mark Cuban walks in with a cougar (not his wife).

I went up to him, shook his hand, then said "its interesting you had to hire a Spur (Avery)to finally beat the Spurs" and laughed.

He actually took it well and laughed. Then bought a round of drinks for me and my coworkers. Dude is tall

Yea, they grew to fast and didn't have the infrastructure plans in place.

The city of San Antonio did a much better job of planning for growth. With both an inner and outer loop. Interestingly enough San Antonio had the highest growth of any city in the US last year.

Agreed, although I live in San Antonio I prefer Austin tbh.

I have always told people that if I didn't know Austin existed I would be completely happy staying in SA.

There is a reason Austin gets voted on top cities to live lift year after year. My kid will be starting school in a few years, so if I move to Austin I would like to do it before he starts Kindergarten.

IMHO the trick with any big city is some sacrifice. Other countries and other big cities people are totally fine living in smaller spaces.

Yes, its way more expensive in austin, especially in and around downtown, but if you are willing to live smaller, you can have a pretty amazing quality of life.

Most of us that grew up in SA or similar cities want a 4000 square foot home, etc, so the thought of condo living or small home living seems off; especially for the money. But since the wife and I have lived in Austin for years and had smaller places, we actually found we really love that life style. Less maintenance, active (since you can walk/bike to most places) etc.

I actually have a 3700 sqft home at the moment. All of the maintenance and cleaning gets a bit annoying :lol

Will probably look more around 2k sqft if we move to Austin. Maybe something around 1700 if we want to live a bit closer to downtown. Alot of that depends on how many kids we have though, currently just the 1, but we want at least 1 more, maybe 2.

The biggest draw to me in Austin is all of the extra outdoor activities and parks. I also like that downtown is so much more vibrant and alive than Downtown SA, downtown SA has improved since I moved here, but it doesn't hold a candle to Austin.

I lived in Austin from 1980-1993 and the local media RARELY covered the Spurs. The Rockets got more coverage than the Spurs. The American Statesman rarely mentioned the Spurs and if they did it was wire copy from the AP. All the covered were UT athletics. I had to go to the Jim's Coffee shop to buy San Antonio papers to keep up with the Spurs. It's still my perception that people living in Austin could give a fuck about the Spurs and view San Antonio as a backward city.

I don't know who designed Austin but it is the worst designed city in Texas when it comes to traffic. I lived there for a year and 35 is the worst. Even taking back roads (bc 35 is the worst) the traffic is horrible. The houses there are ridiculously expensive as well. My boss paid like 400k for her home and it was like the same size one I grew up in (which today is worth 180k). It amazes me how expensive it was. Sure it was in a nice area but it just it doesn't seem worth it to me.

i rather live in San Antonio bc housing is cheaper and I know all the ways around traffic so that's easier to deal with. And party in Austin on the weekends. I'm too busy anyways to really enjoy the nightlife during the week than when I was younger. But nothing beats them UT hoes though...

WTF are you talking about. There is decent sized cities scattered along 35 all the way up to Austin. Obviously San Antonio doesn't have the amount of suburbs that alot of metros do, but you come off as someone who doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about per par. NW and NE both have decent sized suburbs scattered outside the city. Schertz, New Braunfels, Boerne, Helotes, Universal City etc.

Plano... Richardson... Irving... Frisco... Lewisville... Denton... The Colony... Arlington... are all substantially bigger than any SA suburbs, and then you have about 10 more that I didn't list that are roughly the size of a place like New Braunfels.

Over Christmas break when I was last in SA my mom and I went just north of 1604 towards Bulverde and it was a crappy two-lane two-way road like you see in the country. Basically a cow path :lol

Not to say there is NOTHING outside of SA, but other than the 35 corridor it's really sparse... SA really has next to nothing to the west, due east and especially south.

Grew up in SA for 18 years, lived in ATX for the past 17, so I think I qualify to speak here.

Back in mid 2000s, roughly 50% of Spurs games were shown in ATX. For the past 5-7 yrs, 100% of Spurs games are televised. Mostly on FSSW now if not nationally televised, but used to show more on local KBVO type channels.

Personally I love ATX and would never want to move back to SA. But SA has closed the gap on overall livability for a young professional.

Housing definitely cost more within 8 miles of downtown in each direction, but worth it for ppl who work dtown like me. And it has appreciated fairly linearly over the last 20 yrs. There are other options outside small housing/condo living, you just have to be OK driving 40-60 minutes to suburbia each way.

Then again, when I am at 35/1604, it takes me 45 mins to get to La Cantera also. So while ATX traffic blows, SA is spread out so much that total mileage blows.

Then again, when I am at 35/1604, it takes me 45 mins to get to La Cantera also. So while ATX traffic blows, SA is spread out so much that total mileage blows.

DFW is far worse with mileage. Almost rivals SoCal.

I'm surprised he wasn't in Charlotte to participate in the ASG activities being the attention whore that he is.

What do y'all think about round Rock? Planning to move thereWillco is still a little backwards compared to Austin proper, but Round Rock itself is doing some nice things with its downtown and planning a Domain-type development at 35 and 45. For a suburb, you could definitely do worse up here (Hutto, Manor).

I would reccomend Cedar Park instead if you are going to choose a suburb. About the same distance from DT, alot more companies on the NW side of town, and you are much closer to the river and the lake in Cedar Park

Its tough to beat for the price. The fact it is so cheap on top of being really solid is what makes it great imo

Oh ok. I work in temple so we need something closer to that direction and not too far away from Austin. Austin is the only City that reminds me of the Bay area.

didn't realize you were gonna be working in temple. In that case Round Rock is a good way to go.

Having downtown Austin and UT next to IH 35 makes Austin totally blow. I was in Austin this past weekend and even though the city has lots to offer, I would never live there. Getting around is a pain in the ass, even on a Sunday afternoon!!! Literally one way to go North and South without hitting an out of the way toll road kills it. With SA downtown being in the middle of the city with loops and cross highways to get around downtown, it makes it much easier to avoid traffic most of the time.

Someone should introduce you to Mopac (Hwy 1). I never go on 35 unless I have to. You can get to Mopac from dtown (west 5th, cesar chavez, west15th) or from campus (24th/Windsor).

You also came this past wknd when the marathon shut down half of dtown.

You can also avoid 35 by taking Lamar,guadaluoe,red river north. Wanna go south from dtown try south congress, south 1st, or even lamar to manchaca.

Once u learn backways you'll see..

I had a good impression from my first experience, but the last 2 times my chicken was dry and stale... They're not consistent enough to be great.

Props to tim for staying in SA, i would have left as soon as i could. Does Manu still live here?

Yes. I went over to someone’s house on his street in the dominion for super bowl sunday. Definitely still lives there. Never have gotten a chance to meet him yet, though.

Dominion is nice as fuck. Used to have to go there for work on occasion.
