First time I really went to Austin was probably like '06. It was bustling and felt like a college town. People of all ages everywhere. Same in like 2014 or so.

Then I went in like 2017 or so. Completely dead city on a Friday night. Sixth Street had basically nobody. It was bustling and filled with food trucks just years before. Walked around other parts of the city, same. Only people were groups of older guys all dressed the same - leather shoes, jeans, dress shirt and sport coat walking around. Only stores that seemed to exist were those gentrified stores selling "grain bowls".

Incredibly weird.
