I guess, I should have addressed it more clearly. Although, looks like you could use some knowledge too .

Hill Country is not part of Houston/Suburbs though.

You live way from the city also. If you lived around Galleria or Midtown area then you have lot of choices for food.

Roughly speaking the area around Austin. Lots of steep granite hills, rivers and lakes. Curving roads everywhere for when I finally get a motorcycle!

Is that where people go for retirement from Houston?

It is not as huge as say Devon Av. in Chicago or Edison in NJ but it is better organized and has pretty much anything you would want from very regional food to clothing to movies and music

Is that one of the techniques?

I saw that in LA back in late 70's. Are you sure it's not imported from the left coast?
