It's the same 2-3 people doing it.

Provincial is probably not a term I'd put on most of CA. Some of Austin
maybe... many Austinites (and others) seem to have this idea that Austin is
much better than it actually is. I know, I was an Austinite myself not too
far back as were several of my friends who have since moved as well.

I'm ready to get back to some restaurant ideas...

Then you can't have spent much time among the apes in California. I'd say it is
the most provincial place on earth outside of central Asia or central Africa.
Most Californians don't know a world exists outside their county, especially
true in Los Angeles county.

Jeremy Goodwin is a good example of a provincial moron.

I don't really see what the brouhaha over food is all about anyway. 
Let's face it, twenty-four hours after consumption, it ALL reappears in
basically the same form of an end product...

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.

Probably a native Texan speaking.  That seems to be their answer for
any type of criticism of this, the Dumya State.

Yea, but an outsider isn't allowed to negatively comment on the state!
When you do they have all kinds of neat sayings telling you to leave.
I guess that's what makes them so stubborn.  Having to endure a life
limited to the cultural, intellectual and natural resources available
within the borders!  ;-)

News groups outside the state have been omitted from this response.
They're not here so it's none of their business what we're talkin'
about.  If they don't like it they can unsubscribe.

I think that the crux of the discussion in Austin is the fact that the
city has grown rapidly but still has small city amenities.  This can be
good or bad depending on one's point of view.

However, rapid growth has brought rapid increases in taxes to big city
status without the amenities.  I don't think that anyone can deny this
as fact.

I first arrived in 1990 and generally like Austin.  However, thirteen
years later, it has truly turned in a shithole where the ONLY advantage
over my former homeland is the lack of severe cold weather.  And yes, in
a couple more years, I will leave Austin for ever...
