    It kinda makes sense for them to start in the middle of the country, in areas with cheaper costs of living. It's cheaper and better for start-ups.

    It's pretty groovy, I don't like living in the city - I currently live on the border between Austin & Roundrock but it's only a short drive into the city or out to nice nature trails and parks. I've been in some states where the drop off from city to barren wasteland was pretty quick - I'm in a suburban neighborhood but it's only a short walk to a theater/bar combo and a few other nice places.

    Yeah, I lived there for a few months over a summer, actually around where you are maybe. I definitely wasn't in the downtown area, but it wasn't too bad of a drive. I was closer to Roundrock I think. Austin in general was great, mostly because of what you said- there was always some sort of fast-paced area. I think living in an area where most of the roads were either the highway or service roads beside the highway helped, or the fact that there was a Wal-Mart, Target, Fry's, and other big stores at every major light. I can't wait to get out of Savannah
