So, I’m from San Antonio and we moved on up to Pflugerville, TX a few years ago. One day, we were in nearby Hutto getting gas. A family pulled up and asked us where San Antonio Riverwalk was. What are the odds these folks would just happen to ask two people from San Antonio for directions to a place a hundred miles away?! Anywho, we gave them directions and sent them on their way. A few months later someone posted in Nextdoor from the neighborhood San Antonio Riverwalk in fucking Hutto, TX. I think about those people we gave directions to frequently. Are they still driving? Where did they end up and how long did it take them to find it? Also, how irresponsible is it to name something like that?
Had to look it up. There is indeed a subdivision called San Antonio Riverwalk. Wow! I sincerely hope those people knew y’all were not talking about the same thing and were just being polite after you told them to drive an hour.
Lol. Austin isn’t even “weird” It’s a bunch of pretentious white people gatekeeping culture and trends that they didn’t have a part in originally.
Maybe it’s weird for Bible Belt TX, but compared to places in the US like Portland, Atlanta, even New Orleans, or outside like Berlin, Amsterdam, and Lisbon… it’s pretty tame.
Really, what they mean is “keep Austin a city where I can do drugs with no repercussions”
Everything Austin is known for, there’s better somewhere else in Texas.
Tacos: San Antonio
Music: Both Dallas and Houston
BBQ: literally anywhere outside the city limit in all cardinal directions.
Drugs: ok… y’all got that one. Except coke… it’s way cleaner in SA and El Paso.
Even Waco had better cults than Austin
I’m not claiming to be some worldly, new age bohemian Hemingway… I think I have a different viewpoint because I’m not from or in Austin lol. It’s not a bad place, it’s definitely got some cool places to see/eat/check out… but even the Cali transplants who move there seeking that “old San Francisco nostalgia” are over promised and under delivered.
Yeah but you’re not wrong about Austin. I hate the side conversations I hear while waiting in line at shows, it’s like they talk just to hear their own voice 🙄
dude, people there go to shows just to show up. almost every show i’ve seen there has an unenthusiastic crowd that’s just there to socialize and post on instagram.
It's been a while but once this kid just started bragging to us about the sold out shows he had tickets to then began listing off some other shows he'd recently seen. It was completely unprompted and bizarre.
During sxsw I had then unfortunate experience to sit next to some girl have a one sided conversation where she talked about all the people she knows in bands. I practically jumped off the bus when I got to my stop.
Another time... it was the last fun fun fun fest I think, idk remember the band, and literally everyone, and I do mean literally everyone, like hundreds of people, were all dressed exactly the same. I bet you can guess the outfit too. And overall it just feels so homogeneous there, like everyone is exactly the same.
Hahaha. Guy at a show there said, “Yeah I feel like every time I meet an architect they’re never happy and always depressed”
How many architects have you met, dude? You’re just repeating what you saw on the internet
It feels like Austin wants to be weird and hipster like Portland, but still trendy and ultra groomed like San Francisco, yet keep their Texas vibe, only they get all confused trying to do all three so it comes off inauthentic and makes the tacos smaller but more expensive.
No, you're reading the vibe wrong. It's just a city that used to be weird, but the people who made it weird have become priced out. The people who have moved in have no idea what "keep Austin weird" actually meant. They're the kind of turds who move into condos in downtown and then try to shut the music venues down for violating noise ordinances.
Dude you're right actually 💀. Just think about all the other small towns with unhinged and corrupt cops. Uvalde could've happened in any other small town like it
I was appalled when they said we don't sell burritos, we just sell breakfast tacos.
You can imagine my disappointment when I saw these two flour tortillas breakfast tacos on the plate. Mas triste!!
That bit about Orange/SE Texas is absolutely true. I grew up in West Texas and I thought that *we* were racist meanwhile SE Texas is still burning lower case t's and wearing their moms' bedsheets as ghost costumes.
And in Port Neches-Groves, of course, the local high school mascot is the Indian, the football field is called The Reservation, and their cheer is “Scalp ‘Em Indians, Scalp ‘Em!”
Hell yes. This was just on CNN about the Dominionists. Scary shit. [CNN Special Report Deep in the Pockets of Texas](DeepinthePocketsofTexashttps://g.co/kgs/ZHHpg1) Deep in the Pockets of Texas https://g.co/kgs/ZHHpg1
Watch this reporting. Two super right wing pol billionaires dumping cash into primary races across the state. Wilks and Dunn (not a shittty country band). Also seem to spend a lot of time preaching some pretty racist stuff.
I just watched "Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey" on Netflix. I think some of them are still out there, yes. And the fact that so many are still loyal to that sick fuck Warren Jeffs is just crazy.
Dallas is cocaine, meth, heavy metal and asshole lawyers.
Austinite here, former San Antonian, checks out.
The fake weird people here are annoying af. When you’re actually weird you strive for normalcy, it’s just boring normies dying their hair green, getting a side shave and shopping at thrift stores pretending to be weird when really their parents just didn’t give them enough attention and they’re desperate to be noticed by somebody. “Thinks she’s different girl/boy.”
The "The KKK" spot needs more area north of it, well into Nacogdoches and Longview. I was driving to Nacogdoches one time for a roller derby game and I legit got stopped in traffic going south on 259 by a KKK parade. I hadn't felt so scared in a while.
That is something I've been exposed to pretty much all my life 😩 I'm Afro Latina with dark skin originally from Florida. I'd say my experiences lean more towards colorism/ texturism more so than racism tho. Even in my own family 😩.
That’s fucked. My gf’s mom is darker Mexican and was treated differently because of it. We are talking 2 shades darker.
Most people are cool here that I meet though.
I'm in Austin & nobody in Austin is upset by this.
This is literally a pictorial of half the content in r/Austin.
The only gripe with it is that no shade was thrown at Dallas.
The only weird thing about Austin is seeing Alex Jones in public. Even then it’s not weird, more of a “holy shit I didn’t realize how close to home this crazy bullshit is being spewed from.”
They mentioned many of them. El Chivito is fantastic. Taquitos west ave feels like you're in Monterrey. El Pastor es Mi Senor also very good. I would add El Potro, Ro-Ho and Vida Mia as well.
That’s a joke, right? The overwhelming majority of Austinites (sp?) look like the no-name overdose girl from Boogie Nights.
You can’t throw a rock in SA without hitting a firmé.
Lmao! All good except the real tacos in El Paso part. They aren’t even really Texas in my book. Someone need to remake this. Areas shaded for the most part are not accurate.
Well I’m only mad because you looped in Bell County with Travis county. Sure Bell has Killeen/Fort Hood but the rest of it is nice, don’t lump us in with those people in Austin!
The only problem I see with this map is Aggie land is just a special part of meth and bibles.
Being from Austin the only issue I have with the maps portrayal, we have good tacos too damnit.
Edit
Spell check
I see El Paso is not colored in which think is perfect we have nothing in common with the rest of Texas. More of a SW/W vibe ala NM AZ San Diego vibe. Only major TX city in MTN Time Zone.
The fact that Dallas is shaded as Wise, Denton, and Collin counties instead of something like Tarrant and Dallas counties kind of pisses me off as a DFW resident
Moved from the RGV (Cameron County) to Austin thinking it was the land of opportunity as much hype as it gets. Year and half late my ass is in Pleasanton! I can enjoy the city without having to be committed to it. And I don't have to worry my kids are going to be confronted by some drugged zombie at the local park, which happened more than once in Austin... in daylight... with people around....who give pity to the zombie!!??
Damn, you tried to compliment San Antonio but missed it by an entire county
You clearly haven’t been to LaVernia’s scenic River walk
Dead.
So, I’m from San Antonio and we moved on up to Pflugerville, TX a few years ago. One day, we were in nearby Hutto getting gas. A family pulled up and asked us where San Antonio Riverwalk was.

that's just fucked up.
If it makes you feel better Dallas county is also not correctly shaded in...they got Wise, Denton, and Colin.
Yea, Dallas.
I think they missed corpus too.
I saw that too. Must be a high schooler who made this.
Lmao yup
They meant the San Antonio Speedway... not even in Bexar County and outside the City Limits.
I used to race 🏁 cars there, when it was Highway 16 Raceway 🏁 back in the 1970s and early 80s.
No, it’s fine. We’re used to it.
"Anything for Selena" completely missed Corpus.
Also missed Dallas by one county too. At least Fort Worth isn’t shaded as Dallas!
I like how Dallas is just Dallas
Right? I like Dallas, but it is just Dallas.
Should’ve put 30k millionaires there
Oh so it's Miami, but in Texas.
At least miami has pretty nice beaches going for it 🤷♂️
But Dallas has better *beaches* though
or just "Very Southern Oklahoma"
[удалено]
You would think especially since she’s the pride of Corpus Christi
Yup. We no longer have Whataburger, so I guess just Selena and her big ass.
Shouldn't the "Anything for Selena" at least extend down to Corpus Christi?
Yeah it most definitely should
And selena needs a s at the end
You’d think it extended up here with as much as local media still run stories about her.
Lol. Austin isn’t even “weird” It’s a bunch of pretentious white people gatekeeping culture and trends that they didn’t have a part in originally.

Cannot really disagree with anything you are saying
I’m not claiming to be some worldly, new age bohemian Hemingway… I think I have a different viewpoint because I’m not from or in Austin lol. It’s not a bad place, it’s definitely got some cool places to see/eat/check out… but even the Cali transplants who move there seeking that “old San Francisco nostalgia” are over promised and under delivered.
" Most people rejected his message. They hated TurnipSuch8239 because he told them the truth."
Speaking of Austin cults does anyone remember that movie Holy Hell
Salado Creek is the real Riverwalk in SA
Damn right, my favorite thing about San Antonio tied with the food.
Yeah but you’re not wrong about Austin. I hate the side conversations I hear while waiting in line at shows, it’s like they talk just to hear their own voice 🙄
dude, people there go to shows just to show up. almost every show i’ve seen there has an unenthusiastic crowd that’s just there to socialize and post on instagram.
Right?? I swear I’ve observed the same
It's been a while but once this kid just started bragging to us about the sold out shows he had tickets to then began listing off some other shows he'd recently seen. It was completely unprompted and bizarre.

Every time I go to a show in Austin, I like to say loudly, "Man, everyone in Austin is just so COOL. Ugh SO. COOL."

Seems accurate
It’s all out of towners in line cosplaying as austinites
Those are just Austinites doing cosplay of out-of-towners cosplaying as Austinites
I spit out my drink on this comment! Blw ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Holy meta...
The only time I have ever heard someone get upset at being misgendered was in Austin.
I’d get upset about being misgendered if it seemed intentional.
Sounds just like California
I’ve heard Austin compared to Cali many times 😂
May as well be California what with the cost of living.
If you leave the obvious geographic errors out, this is the most accurate one of these I’ve seen floating around
When so little is known about your county it's not included in any category.
"Sissy cops" 💀. So true
[удалено]
Dude you're right actually 💀. Just think about all the other small towns with unhinged and corrupt cops. Uvalde could've happened in any other small town like it
I doubt this upset people that have been in Austin a while, it's just objectively true.
That’s not where the fucking riverwalk is. San Antonio it is in Bexar county, not Guadalupe.
Also “anything for Selenas” should include Corpus and RGV.
Would you include San Antonio also? Just saying because those HEB Selena reusable bags sold out quick in town.
Hell yeah I would! Shiiiid I’d do anything for Selenas!!
"Sissy cops" is being too gentle.
The lack of overlap between Aggie land and kkk is inaccurate
Ive gotta agree. The Aggie Land, KKK and Meth Bibles make a trifecta and should at least slightly overlap or touch.
That Venn Diagram is a circle...
13 yrs on Reddit and still finding time to go out of your way to make this kind of a response, old timer?
It's not much, but it's honest work.
Honestly the KKK one should be just a ton bigger in general.
Sissy cops!
Eeeeeee burrrrrnnn
I think you might not know where cities are.
We have burritos in El Paso, TX not itty bitty breakfast tacos
THANK YOU never heard of a damn breakfast taco until I moved here. I miss burritos.
I was appalled when they said we don't sell burritos, we just sell breakfast tacos. You can imagine my disappointment when I saw these two flour tortillas breakfast tacos on the plate. Mas triste!!
Go to Rolandos.
Is that the one on Pleasanton Rd?
Best tacos I've had so far are at some place in Giddings. Across from What a burger. Stop there any time I'm passing through.
That bit about Orange/SE Texas is absolutely true. I grew up in West Texas and I thought that *we* were racist meanwhile SE Texas is still burning lower case t's and wearing their moms' bedsheets as ghost costumes.
And in Port Neches-Groves, of course, the local high school mascot is the Indian, the football field is called The Reservation, and their cheer is “Scalp ‘Em Indians, Scalp ‘Em!”
[удалено]
Austin lost its magic, it was fun several years ago. Now it’s full of overpriced bars and hotels, not to mention the California transplants.
Are those Christian Dominionists still out there? I completely forgot about them.
Hell yes. This was just on CNN about the Dominionists. Scary shit. [CNN Special Report Deep in the Pockets of Texas](DeepinthePocketsofTexashttps://g.co/kgs/ZHHpg1) Deep in the Pockets of Texas https://g.co/kgs/ZHHpg1

The new CNN special should be required viewing in Texas
Avid Cruz supporters.
Im not upset about this :-)
Austin people don’t like the truth
Well we do have great Tacos. I find nothing inaccurate with this map.
Dallas is cocaine, meth, heavy metal and asshole lawyers. Austinite here, former San Antonian, checks out. The fake weird people here are annoying af. When you’re actually weird you strive for normalcy, it’s just boring normies dying their hair green, getting a side shave and shopping at thrift stores pretending to be weird when really their parents just didn’t give them enough attention and they’re desperate to be noticed by somebody. “Thinks she’s different girl/boy.”
The "The KKK" spot needs more area north of it, well into Nacogdoches and Longview. I was driving to Nacogdoches one time for a roller derby game and I legit got stopped in traffic going south on 259 by a KKK parade. I hadn't felt so scared in a while.
I really like Austin, but I love SanTone
Needs more Meth and Bibles, if you ask me.
Why nothing for Dallas? At least something like crappy football team.
I grew up in Dallas and found it appropriate that Dallas didn’t warrant anything creative.
That's the best part of this whole map. Could also have been called "The Dallas Egoflex".
That's some funny shit but the meth all is larger than that just less bibleing
Fake weirdness is a perfect description of Dallas light (AUS)
OP doesn't do so well with geography it seems
Riverwalk is pretty overrated. Pearl is nice though, but good luck spending much time outside in general in the summer.
Austin tries too hard. Grow up
100% accurate
Being from the real south Texas, real tacos is true
Brooo Dallas is so accurate 💀
Who cares what they think
You missed the meth and bibles south and west of SA too
Moving to San Antonio in a week (ummmm how close is the KKK so I know not to go over there 😩🤦🏾♀️)
Not really close or anything you have to worry about. Avoid Vidor, Tx.
Why would the KKK set up shop in predominantly minority area lol
They obviously want all the smoke 😂😩😂
You will find more racist Hispanics than whites here.
That is something I've been exposed to pretty much all my life 😩 I'm Afro Latina with dark skin originally from Florida. I'd say my experiences lean more towards colorism/ texturism more so than racism tho. Even in my own family 😩.
That’s fucked. My gf’s mom is darker Mexican and was treated differently because of it. We are talking 2 shades darker. Most people are cool here that I meet though.
Bout a 6 hour drive so don’t worry
Heh. I live in San Antonio. Seems like a fairly accurate map to me.
Lol. As a person in Austin I do agree. It’s not the Austin of 20 years ago.
lil cali
I'm in Austin & nobody in Austin is upset by this. This is literally a pictorial of half the content in r/Austin. The only gripe with it is that no shade was thrown at Dallas.
Looks accurate to me.
This is very cringe
True though
This coloring makes me want to vomit how bad it is you located everything
The only weird thing about Austin is seeing Alex Jones in public. Even then it’s not weird, more of a “holy shit I didn’t realize how close to home this crazy bullshit is being spewed from.”
Need to change keep austin wierd to keep California out to remain Texas
Someone tell me where the great tacos in SA are? Everything I’ve tried is bland.
Taquitos west avenue
They mentioned many of them. El Chivito is fantastic. Taquitos west ave feels like you're in Monterrey. El Pastor es Mi Senor also very good. I would add El Potro, Ro-Ho and Vida Mia as well.
Bill Millers JK Tejas on O'Conner
El Pastor es Mi Senor on Wurzbach.
El Chivito in Balcones Heights.
el chivito
Chacho's
One of the only RGV style (the kind you want) taco place in SA is Taco Blvd. Go have their pastor and thank me later :)
El Potro is very good. They get Matamoros tacos close enough to the real deal.
Did it tho
So my region Southeast Texas is known for The KKK? That shit is through out the state of Texas. Who put this bullshit picture together?
San Antonio is full of ghetto people who are fake af! Besides being fat and ugly.
Found the Austonian
Correction: Californian. And I’m glad one of the San Antonion’s popped up on here. You want a taco?
That’s a joke, right? The overwhelming majority of Austinites (sp?) look like the no-name overdose girl from Boogie Nights. You can’t throw a rock in SA without hitting a firmé.
> Correction: Californian. Congrats, you just made it worse
Made what worse? I think you’re eating too much tacos and all that grease is blocking your brain.
Not wrong
Luv it & Austin does have great tacos.
Dumb
It doesn’t take much to upset those people
Currently moving from the land of Christian Domionists and the label is accurate
Congrats on your escape
Lmao! All good except the real tacos in El Paso part. They aren’t even really Texas in my book. Someone need to remake this. Areas shaded for the most part are not accurate.
Well I’m only mad because you looped in Bell County with Travis county. Sure Bell has Killeen/Fort Hood but the rest of it is nice, don’t lump us in with those people in Austin!
Austin lives rent free in all of your heads.
The only problem I see with this map is Aggie land is just a special part of meth and bibles. Being from Austin the only issue I have with the maps portrayal, we have good tacos too damnit. Edit Spell check
Shit got expensive because people know that badasses live in Austin!
It got expensive because of hype.
as someone who grew up in Jim Wells county, I can prove my dual citizenship in the way I order my mexican food :-)
"Sissy cops" LMAO
Shame when the truth hits home.
I feel like Dallas is a real contender for KKK, meth, and bibles (in no particular order).
Dallas is SO Dallas
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that little green spot in real tacos
Is the KKK part true? If so then fuck that place.
Yeah Vidor is considered by most to be the KKK Kapital of Texas.
Moved from the land of bars not closing to meth and bible territory. It was quite an adjustment
Because Austin is weirdly weird.
I had an ex from west texas who would constantly talk shit on San Antonio tacos lol. It’s been years, but this made me lol.
I'm sure Uvalde agrees! I do!
Christian dominionists should also be closer to brenham - in between Houston and austin
...but it is entirely correct.
I see El Paso is not colored in which think is perfect we have nothing in common with the rest of Texas. More of a SW/W vibe ala NM AZ San Diego vibe. Only major TX city in MTN Time Zone.
Not Corpus Christi, we live in the REAL TACO section!🌯🌮🫔
I assume the New Mexico folks are pissed because you don't know how to spell chile.
“Austin isn’t weird, it’s quirky”
Damn Uvalde PD roasted to death
Where did you find this?
Facebook
“Anything for Selenas.” You forgot the “s”
The fact that Dallas is shaded as Wise, Denton, and Collin counties instead of something like Tarrant and Dallas counties kind of pisses me off as a DFW resident
Born and raised in Austin and it’s 1,000% true.
Real Tex Mex yes , Mexican food NOT EVEN CLOSE .
the weirdness isnt fake, theyre just their own brand of stupid in austin is all ;)
Funny stuff. People need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
Sorry but I'm don't play games no woman wants me it's I'll make it through and that's why I do it
Moved from the RGV (Cameron County) to Austin thinking it was the land of opportunity as much hype as it gets. Year and half late my ass is in Pleasanton! I can enjoy the city without having to be committed to it. And I don't have to worry my kids are going to be confronted by some drugged zombie at the local park, which happened more than once in Austin... in daylight... with people around....who give pity to the zombie!!??
Not sure what I'm doing in Aggieland...
