I have been wondering if the “GOAT” graffiti was the work of some young roughians trying start a new trend. Glad to know it’s “probably” just some tagger with “an enormous ego.” Sure don’t have enough of those types here.
Why does Austin get to be “New Texas”. Houston carries the rest of this state on its back– Houston is and has always been “New Texas.” Anyway, I am definitely opposed to being the member of a state wherein the entire geographic area is in the strike zone of a hurricane. We need to pick up some interior real estate. So I vote for San Antonio- we need the tourism dollars.
