Sure why not?

I don't have to convince myself "history" backs it up for me.

So history proves Austin looks Southern?

The very fact that you had to find EAST Austin proves my point. I just took ANY photo of hills and country side in Central Texas. Who are you fooling here? None of it looks Southern. I lived in Austin for 8yrs my friend, I should know. And I now live IN the Southeastern US. No offense, but don't try to fool me or anyone here.
me posting that link was just to counter the pics you posted. you showed parts of austin that didn't look very southern and i posted pictures that did. nothing more, nothing less. it wasn't about me saying "ooh look, austin looks just like alabama"

the issue here is that your definition of the whole south is the southeast, and in your mind, that's the only south. no matter how much others have shown numerous evidence of how false that is, you refuse to believe it

you act like i'm saying that austin is JUST like charlotte or nashville, but NO ONE IS SAYING THAT. there are different parts of the south, and austin is part of it. live with it

that's not what he's saying. but fort worth's anglo and black history is connected to the rest of the south. you won't find that in the southwest or even west texas for that matter, really

did you not see that video i posted? that neighborhood could easily be somewhere in mississippi, just add some pine trees

It may not look like Arizona or New Mexico, but it sure doesn't look like anywhere I can think of in the Southeast:

west lake - Google Maps


East Austin metro in Manor Texas: first baptist church - Google Maps

It may look Southern to some, but to me? Naw.
