I ran across an article in the Austin Business Journal today that ranked Austin as number 5 in “greatness”  based on our sports, art, music, culture and population growth. 

As reported by the research firm Sperling’s BestPlaces for the makers of Edge Shave Gel Austin is “Known for its ‘Keep Austin Weird’ tagline, Austin may soon boast about greatness instead. The ‘Live Music Capital of the World’ ranks fourth in the category of indie music and nails the top spot in the city category with a high percentage of young, well-educated residents, a healthy economy and substantial green building activity.”

I didn’t need a report to tell me that Austin is filled with greatness, but it is nice to know that I’m not the only one with these sentiments.
