Your Hometown

[Pat Fairbank]

Milton, Ontario - the place where the Robertson screw (the square-headed screw, which enjoys immense popularity in Canada) was invented.

[JaneYoung]

Austin's official slogan is:
The Live Music Capital of the World

One of its unofficial mottos is:
Keep Austin Weird

It's a mix of cultures, politics, lobbyists, arts, parks, springs, state employment, technology -

My mother-in-law told me that she remembered when the main street, Congress, was a cattle drive up to and around the state capitol.

oops, sorry - forgot - Austin City Limits is based here.

That was when I first realized just how big the WC was outside the US. Switzerland was playing, and someone had rented two giant cranes to raise a Swiss flag over the Silverdome - which couldn't even be seen from inside!

I was a young one then haha.
