There is a general perception in the black community
that this town is a less than ideal city to live
in for African Americans.
While certainly not like an Atlanta,
Dallas or a Houston, it is our contention that
Austin has plenty of positive lifestyle options
for everyone — black folk included! The
City of Austin and our sponsors are demonstrating
their commitment to reversing the perception and
highlighting Austin as a city open and very welcoming
to the African American experience.
We ask that you not only plan to
visit us during Urban Music Festival – but
that you consider relocating to Austin and raising
your family!
Situated in the middle of the state
and less than 200 miles from San Antonio, Dallas
and Houston, Austin is annually listed among the
various "Best Of..." lists as an exceptional
city to live, play and prosper in. Life in Austin
is a combination of a laid-back attitude, mixed
in with the trendy and high-tech. With a beautiful
rolling Hill Country, 300 days of sunshine and
an average temperature of 68 degrees, come to
Austin and discover why it is so many cars in
Austin sport a bumper sticker that declares: "On
Earth as it is in Austin."
There's a lot to see and do in the
capital. From art galleries to theatres, live
music and more, Austin has plenty of positive
lifestyle options for everyone. READ
