I lived in Austin for a couple of years when I went to the Radio and Television class at Austin Vo-Tech back in the day. Austin is a fun city with a lot of cool buildings and history. I lived about a block from the Tendermaid, which has been around since the 1930's. The house I lived in is now a library. It's kind of on the back side of Hormel. I remember one time seeing a pig swimming in the river that had somehow got loose.

If you have ever lived in Austin or even visited, take a few moments and check out this video and song, sent to me by my friend and lifelong Austin resident, Jack Morgan. That's his band, The Tangents, on the soundtrack.
