And Texas is home to arguably the worst president in history, need I say more?

And this is not hip and colorful?

Yes, because I want to know what point are you trying to make and also the fact that he was from CT.....

I'm just joking around. I actually have nothing against Charlotte and especially its walkable downtown. I just think the term is silly. I didn't vote in this poll since I haven't been to Austin yet.

No jdevelop2 Former President George Bush is from Connecticut and lived in Texas most of his life! lol (I CAN'T ACCEPT THAT POST) I can't even lie though, I did like Bush for a while because the economy was increasing fast but so was/is the debt! But you can't call President Barack Obama the worst president just yet, because hasn't been in the house for to long! In my opinion the best president so far was/is Franklin D. Roosevelt!!!

Consider my post a lighthearted response to to the quoted post. We are still too close to G W Bush's presidency to measure his successes and failures accurately and in a historical context.

Here are some Austin pictures to add to the debate:











Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but in my eye Charlotte doesn't even come close to Austin in beauty.

Austin also wins on weather, nightlife, and low crime.
