Heading to Austin any suggestions?

[2GNS4ME]

Hey All,

We are thinking of moving to Austin long term plan since we heard good things about the place for family living. We wanted to check it out and see what the hype is about. We are staying on the east side near 6th st. Any suggestions what to do with the family? Any car shows coming up this week that I can meet locals?

Thanks in advance,

Denny

There isn't room for another T-Type / SRT8 Jeep owner buddy so look else where... J/K City is great, check out South Congress, The Domain, The Blanton (w/the family), see the Bats Fly @ Sunset and check out this site for general car stuff...

Make sure to get some real Mexican food rather than the usual stuff. The out of the way places are usually much better than the big resturants (sp) that you see. If you're daring ask for the real salsa rather than the stuff they put on the table, but be prepaired for the top of your head to sweat. That's the good stuff.
