Austin is a large city in central Texas: located about 80 miles northeast of San Antonio and about 200 miles south of Dallas, with a population that currently lingers at around one million. Even though Austin has been a large city for some time now, in the early 1990s, it certainly didn't feel like it.


To many, Austin was almost like its own little bubble inside of Texas. A surprisingly liberal city in a traditionally-conservative state, Austin had a reputation for being home to the area's more progressive voices, which made sense to some; it is the state's capital, after all. But for many decades, Austin seemed to pale in comparison to the state's other large cities, which included the aforementioned San Antonio and Dallas, as well as Houston.


For many Texans, Austin was a nice and quiet place where you could raise a family, and wouldn't have to worry about the downsides of large cities: namely violent crime, which was unheard of in large parts of Austin.
