"Crispy" sort of reminds me of Crispix cereal. I hope it's nothing like that.

"Uniquely Texan" is how I'd describe the whole Austin-San Antonio-Hill Country corridor. Essentially Southern with a crispy Texas twist.
those hills really dont look like tennessee. the shape of them is just off. also, the trees are too round. they are both not flat and both have trees but thats about it. the austin ones kind of remind me of the areas just outside of the sf bay area, especially the trees. but tennessee they are certainly not

I've said that for a while. I've said that the hills in CenTex in Austin and San Antonio remind me of areas of California(Northern CA, and Southern CA).

The shape of those hills is off as well. It's also too velvety. But I can see a resemblence to that as well, good call.

BTW, when autumn comes they all look drastically different...
