  • Moving to Austin NEWCOMER’S GUIDE by Glenda Beasley for Habitat Hunters
    Moving to Austin NEWCOMER’S GUIDE by Glenda Beasley for Habitat Hunters Whether you’re moving to Austin for a job, because your friends or family are here, or just for a change of pace, there are a few things to know about the City of the Violet Crown. 1. It’s a little weird. Get prepared to see a musician to break into song, a horse on the street or a smiling man in nothing but a thong happily riding his bike. The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Kimmel captured the flavor of the city well in hisfarewell to Austin song with Willie Nelson. 2. The locals go local. There is big support for local farmers, craftsmen and businesses. You can support these fine locals and get discounts when you purchase a Go Local card. 3. It’s the live music capital of the world. If you can’t find a live music venue on any given night, at the airport, or during happy hour, you’re not trying hard enough. Some of our favorite long-standing venues include: The Continental Club, The Carousel Lounge, Little Longhorn Saloon, Ego’s, Guero’s, Saxon Pub and the Broken Spoke, to name a few. 4. It’s an urban oasis. There are miles and miles of trails and greenbelts in Austin and the surrounding environs. Sources to find nature near you include the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas State Parks and the Habitat Hunter’s website. Another great resource is www.naturerocksaustin.org. Wildlife such as the bats on Congress Ave, raccoons, deer, armadillos, golden cheek warblers, and grackles are found in the city.
