What's up?! I came down to the DFW area and I love it. The weather is awesome! It gets cold, but it doesn't get down to freezing in the winter! I'm from a small town in Southern Illinois, so it's more expensive than there. Rent is pricey. It's cheaper than Chicago, that's for sure. I've been to Austin a few times and I reeeeaaaaaalllllllyyyy like it down there. No state income tax is cool, but tax on beer and liquor is way higher. Not to mention Texas isn't billions of dollar in debt like Illinois, so that's another plus!
