I lived in Austin for a couple of years when I was a dumbass little kid dragged there by my parents who saw it as some kind of hippie paradise. From what I remember of it, in those days (late 70's to early 80's), it was.
Some of my fondest memories are from there. Willie's picnics, and swimming in... what's the name of that place? A swimming hole built from stones and fed by a nearby creek or river? All the cool kids were there, and me by accident.
