Fall makes me nostalgic. So this is what I think of when I remember growing up in Austin.
You grew up in Austin if...
1.Burnt orange is your favorite color, but you remember when it was just plain orange;
2.You thought "The Eyes of Texas" was the national anthem;
3.Your favorite landmark is the UT Tower, especially when it’s orange after a football game;
4.You inherited a “football fan” gene, and the names Darrell Royal, Earl Campbell, and Vince Young are as familiar to you as Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, and Davy Crockett;
5.“Drag” is a place, not a guy in women’s clothes;
6.Bluebonnets are your favorite flowers;
7.You know the Texas rivers in order because the downtown streets are named for them;
8.You know what artificial moonlight is;
9.You had your first kiss at Mt. Bonnell;
10.You could live on Tex-Mex;
11.Pralines only come from Lamme’s Candies;
12.The Night Hawk (gone now) was your favorite restaurant for Friscoes, top chop’d steak, and ice box pie;
13.Barton Springs was part of every summer you can remember;
14 Your high school team was called the Maroons;
15.You only admit in a whisper that one of your kids attended A&M.
