Austin has... something of an ego. It thinks of itself as the center of Texas - not completely unjustly, as it is the capital. Since Texas is <i>obviously</i> the best, greatest, most important, and all-around awesomeist place in the worst, it obviously follows that Austin is the best city in all of time and space.<p>It&#x27;s got some hipster cultural cache and is a regional cultural and economic center... if your primary language is English.
