“Keep Austin Weird”. You will see this slogan a lot as you move towards Southern Texas in the zip code 78754. The weirdness is as wild as the Wild West and it is hard to miss. Here coffee shops sell beer, and people race turtles for fun. Historic mansions have been converted to full-scale bars and it's common to see folks drinking absinthe on a Victorian era balcony. Though it is the state capital, it doesn’t quite feel like it. Laid back locals can be seen enjoying good food and good music drenched in the enlightenment of pleasure. People forsake mammon, without a blink of an eye, to pursue arts, music and maybe a dose of theater. Maybe it’s the addictiveness of the Austinian patio culture or maybe it's just Texas. If you want a piece of this deliciously weird cake that is Austin, this is the place for you.
The area under zip code 78754 forms the northern part of Austin. To put it in geographical perspective it's just 10 away minutes away from the historic Sixth Street of Austin. The Sixth Street is more than just a street, it is a raw nerve throbbing with amazing electricity. It’s the Broadway of Texas. You can just choose a corner and watch the drama unfold and it will still amaze you. You don’t have to move an inch. If you are hungry, there is someone selling something unique right behind you.
You can join the arts bandwagon and follow the stream of people towards The Paramount Theatre, a magnificent foundation of arts and architecture. If classics bore you, head to the adjacent The Hideout Theatre, which is the top comedy club in the city, rich in sarcasm and satire. Laughter can be heard from across the streets. Here’s an advice; get a little drunk and enjoy the satisfaction of laughing with the crowd. There are a number of other things to do, it depends on what time you find yourself here. When the sun is still in the sky you can go to The Long Center for the Performing Arts and the nearby Butler Park. Catch a lovely brunch at Eastside Café or Swift’s Attic. For nights, you have the Violet Crown Cinema, showcasing rare documentaries and parallel cinema and later dine options at queer themed-restaurants.
But the city did not let its laid-back attitude touch its education standards. It has several schools that can be called the best in what they do. Some of the best institutions in this part of Austin are the Dessau Middle School, Brentwood Christian School, and Graham Elementary School. The University of Texas has been a veteran in the educational pursuits of the whole region and is a constant source of motivation among the young to achieve academic fineness.
