 "Live Music Capital of the World"

Located: 11th and Congress St.

The Texas State Capitol houses the chambers of the Texas Legislature and the office of the govenor of Texas. It was originally designed in 1881 by architect Elijah E. Myers, and was constructed from 1882 to 1888 under the direction of civil engineer Reuben Lindsay Walker. The Texas State Capitol building stands at 308 ft (94 m) tall.

"Hi, How Are You (or Jeremiah the Innocent)"
Located: 21st and Guadalupe St.

"Austin Bats" 
Located: Congress Avenue Bridge

The Congress Bridge is home to the largest urban bat colony in all of North America. You can see these bats emerge out from the bridge, covering the sky around sunset between the months of March and October.

"360 Bridge"
Located: Lake Austin & 360 Bridge (a.k.a Pennybacker Bridge)

This is one of my favorite places in all of Austin. If you have never been up to the top of the 360 overlook you are missing out on just how beautiful this city is. Grab your friends, take the short hike up and enjoy the view!

So embrace your weirdness (or rather coolness), get outside, be active and explore this beautiful city that we call home.
