If so this video is for you! Our time in Austin is coming to an end and we thought we should put together a video that categorizes what makes Austin so unique. Hopefully this video encourages you to come check out this great city as well as gives you ideas of what to do while you are here.<\/p>\n<p>This video is broken down into five main categories: Food, Music, nightlife, outdoors, and history.<\/p>\n<p>Food: Austin is a city that offers every type of food. When you visit you will be able to find any type of food that you are looking for. While you are in Austin, make sure to eat at a food truck and check out some BBQ. In the video we check out Micklethwait and Franklins bbq .<\/p>\n<p>Music: Austin is known as the live music capitol of the world. Some popular names that started in Austin are Ghostland Observatory, Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many more. If you like music, Austin is the place you want to visit to get your fix.<\/p>\n<p>Austin Music Calendar: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2niAdFE<\/p>\n<p>Nightlife: Austin has more bars per person than any other city in the united states. As a result you can find any type or style of bar you could imagine. In the video, we discuss the four main districts (2018). East sixth, Dirty Sixth, West Sixth, and Rainey street.<\/p>\n<p>Outdoors: Austin is an easy city to be active in. There are many parks, rivers, and lakes to explore. A few of our favorite places are lady bird lake, Barton spring pool, the green belt, lake Travis, lake Austin, and the hope graffiti wall. The new location for the hope graffiti wall is supposed to be at: 9507 Sherman Rd. It is supposed to open at the end of 2018, but double check before heading there to make sure it actually exists! <\/p>\n<p>History: Austin is full of rich history. If you visit we recommend visiting the bullock museum and the Texas state capitol. <\/p>\n<p>Texas state Capitol tour times: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2jnyECG<\/p>\n<h3>More info on What to do in Austin Texas<\/h3>\n<div class=\"ss-local-rss\"><div class=\"rss_header\"><h2><a href=\"https:\/\/cn.bing.com\/news\/search\/?q=What+to+do+in+Austin+Texas&amp;qft=sortbydate%3D%221%22&amp;format=rss\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"rss_title\">What to do in Austin Texas - BingNews<\/a><br \/><span class=\"rss_description\"> Search results<\/span><\/h2><\/div><ul>\n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=6646f686961a4a6bb5b71f299449e3ed&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fgolfweek.usatoday.com%2F2024%2F05%2F16%2Fnotre-dame-golf-ncaa-texas-regional%2F&amp;c=7152978017835157609&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe golf program at this storied university qualified for the NCAA finals for the first time in 58 years\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Utah (850) and Wake Forest (854) qualified as teams and individual Kelvin Hernandez of UNC Greensboro also advanced to the NCAA finals May 25-29 at the par-72, 6,996-yard ...<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=6646f686961a4a6bb5b71f299449e3ed&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ktsm.com%2Fnews%2Ftexas-democrat-accuses-abbott-of-alliance-with-white-nationalists-over-pardon%2F&amp;c=13716892541830610214&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas Democrat accuses Abbott of \u2018alliance with white nationalists\u2019 over pardon\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>The remarks came shortly after Abbott announced Thursday he issued a pardon for Daniel Perry, who was found guilty in April of last year in the death of Garrett Foster during a July 2020 protest ...<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n            \n            <li>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bing.com\/news\/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&amp;aid=&amp;tid=6646f686961a4a6bb5b71f299449e3ed&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fnews%2Ftexas-dps-unveils-new-memorial-for-fallen-officers&amp;c=2037195740116303415&amp;mkt=en-us\" rel=\"nofollow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas DPS unveils new memorial for fallen officers\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>On Thursday, a new Fallen Officers Memorial was unveiled at the annual DPS Peace Officers Memorial Service.
