My older brother moved here from Baton Rouge in the early 90s. He lived in the outer suburbs off Far West Blvd. The oasis was in the boonies. It was a big deal when the cheesecake factory opened up in way North Austin, now the arboretum.It's Austin, the bell cow of leftist/progressivism in Texas, expect weirdness and confusion in all things..
Condolences to those who didn't know Austin before the late 70's ...
