So the coworkers and I decide Saturday to navigate through the "Mexico
smoke" and do this Fourth street thing some others had suggested for
Austin nightlife.  First we need dinner.  They suggest Iron Cactus
downtown.  Well, after waiting more than twice as long as we had been
told for seating (awful customer service at that place... more like
L.A. than Texas) we finally are seated upstairs.  I had chicken
enchiladas.  The enchiladas were somewhat dry and lacking in flavor,
especially compared to similar Mexican/Tex-Mex cuisine I've had while
in Houston.  Call me a troll if you feel it validates your town to do
so, but it's the truth, sorry guys.
 
So anyway, after dinner we're about to head toward 4th street when we
step outside and the freakin' fire department has two trucks and a
huge crowd practically right outside the door.  I'm looking up to see
if the building is on fire but it's not.  The damn fire hydrant is
also flooding the street and there are news crews. What the hell was
up with that??  Anything for drama in this town I guess.
 
The rest of the evening on 4th street may have been okay except for
the stomach cramps several of us had.  I don't know if it was a result
of Iron Cactus or something we had at lunch. Nevertheless, I found the
4th street scene to be an improvement on 6th (home of sleaze, bums and
college drunkards)  But I only wonder if it's a matter of time before
this crowd makes their way to 4th as well!!!

And BTW MH, it's funny that you call Houston overpopulated.  Austin is
the one with the overpopulation problem, and unfortunately the city
can't seem to do anything smart about that and probably never will.
