One of my favorite things about living in the Greater Austin area is that you don't have to head into downtown Austin every time you want something fun to do.
Some of the communities surrounding Austin have really great downtown areas of their own—places where you can grab brunch, wander through locally owned shops, find a patio for a drink, catch live music, or make an entire Saturday out of doing a whole lot of nothing. (My favorite kind of Saturday.)
