# Austin: In Retrospect

Kory W. Mathewson · 2014-09-02 · https://korymathewson.com/austin-in-retrospect/ · Reflections on visiting Austin, Texas, highlighting its creative capital, southern hospitality, and vibrant arts scene.

Austin, Texas is a beautiful city. Southern hospitality abounds in this deep and dirty town. At the centre of conservatism sits a creative capital, similar in many ways to the beautiful Edmonton, Alberta.

It was a blast being around the [Out Of Bounds](http://www.outofboundscomedy.com/) Festival, Barton Springs, 6th Street, UT and South Congress.

Some Salt Lick BBQ, hot hot sidewalks, and from the Cathedral of Junk, Vince, with some conspiracy talk. Austin, you have been good to us.
