I know there are Fiestas in Austin. They don't have as much International stuff in the Austin's Stores. The International isle there is mainly Latin american stuff.

The Fiestas here are whole different story.

HEB's here are different too than the ones in SA and Austin.

HEBs and Fiesta cater to the neighborhood they are in. A centrally located Fiesta in Austin just means it is blandsville in terms of variety of products. You wouldn't believe the stuff you get in the Asian parts of town here.

This is tough, most places I like in my state are in the north and i like them because of the nature not the city. I Guess I'd have to say Mackinaw city and Grand Rapids. I currently live in Grand rapids. The pros are it's got great beer/breweries, it's got the best local music (either best or tied with Ann Arbor) for Folk, Jam, and Bluegrass and it's much cleaner and safer than Detroit. The biggest con is it's such a long drive to any awesome nature and if GR was where Mackinaw city was you'd just have to cross the bridge and you could be in the wonderful UP. It still wouldn't be an ideal city, but It would be better than GR is to live in now.

Wait - they already seem to be combined. I can't tell where one ends and the other starts!

Love me some o dat! I can't imagine ANYONE visiting that area and being disappointed - unless, of course, they expected to find, I don't know, the Alps there or maybe Hadrian's Wall.
Saustin would definitely be a great place to visit, but I still don't think I would want to live there.

or, combine Motley and Nimrod to come up with Motley Nimrod

I'm not sure how this would effect Atlanta's regional stronghold with it's current postion as the "heart" of the south. Atlanntah would be awesome combining Atlanta's BIG CITY amenities with Savannah's history and charm.
It would pretty much wipe out that advantage. Atlanta's strategic geographical location is the only reason why it exists as it was founded as a critical railroad junction.

Oh, me either - but it would be one helluva fun place to visit.

Well, actually, it already is...

Detroit and Ann Arbor. I would combine Detroit's rich history, beautiful architecture, major league teams, and gorgeous riverfront with Ann Arbor's safety, job market, university, and overall hipness. It would be an awesome city!
