I can never hear too many ...

... local news stories about how "Austinites are feeling the pinch at the pump." Gas prices are high, shall remain high henceforth, forever, amen, get over it, hallelujah.

i'm about to move to austin, but i don't think i could have survived living here without the el. despite the drunk uic fratboys and creepy ladies in babushkas, it's a godsend.

the fact that you don't have to make eight contingency plans if you want to have a couple beers is amazing, too.

AGREED. lemonsugar August 19 2005, 17:19:28 UTC

it is also not unheard of to have the beers while ON the public transportation. or so i've noticed.

Re: AGREED. claudelemonde August 19 2005, 17:22:37 UTC

for a while here i was drinking beers while biking, but that's just a whole can of BAD IDEA worms with an awesome label.

I went to UIC. I totally miss the system there, the bus and the el are better than anywhere else that I have lived. Austin actually has a decent bus system for a little town but since the town is small and some buses don't run but every 20-30 minutes you end up just driving because if you miss one bus you would have to wait an hour and it takes 2 minutes to drive anywhere. Or maybe I'm just a lazy ass.
