AUSTIN, TX – If you’ve grown up in Austin you most likely will have heard the slogan “keep Austin weird” at least once over the years and that’s because it’s Austin’s unofficial motto but over the last two years as we’ve seen more companies relocate to here from California and other states many people are starting to wonder if Austin can still be considered to be “weird” like it was in the past and the answer is yes.
