My mom went to UT in the 1940's! She and my father, who was from Alabama, both loved Austin and the Texas hill country. The Austin they knew and loved isn't the Austin of today, but I think Austin always had appeal for those who had gone to UT, if they could find a job there.

When my parents moved to Austin, I was in the seventh grade and my father had just been downsized from a corporation and was going to try starting his own business in 1963. Austin had a population of less than 250,000 people. Lamar blvd and I-35 were the two main N-S arteries. East Austin was where the minorities lived and the trailer trash lived in S. Austin. The main employers were UT and the State of Texas, period.
