I don't know of any outward evidence of "zipcode pride" in Austin, other than that one example.
Someone has made a bumper sticker to rep my zip that says:
"78745. When you're priced out of 78704."

Interesting. Since the whole Keep Austin Weird fiasco, I never assume that what's written on the bottom of any bumper sticker or whatever is actually the person who created the phrase, so it's good to hear from someone who was there what the real skinny is!

Zips narrow the location down, I use them everyday to pin point advertising and make deliveries more cost effective! And I guess I even have it in my locator on C-D
