Time for a Texas Hill Country forum? (San Antonio, Austin: area, cities)

[doss1]

Is there a demand for a Texas Hill Country forum? Should we petition CD to start one? What do you think?

[love roses]

I don't know how to vote on that because most people post their questions in either the Austin or San Antonio forum, or do you mean a separate one for people looking at towns like Wimberly, Kerrville, Bandera, etc....? I would say possibly yes in that case.

The Hill Country itself is too small, really. If anything, it should include all of Central Texas outside of Austin.

And it wouldn't make much sense to do one for Central Texas and not have an East Texas forum.

True, I s'pose it's too small. However, that's a good thing

I would not count Central Texas as part of the Hill Country...no way...MAYBE Burnet and San Saba, but that's it. The landscape totally changes at that point.

FYI, before this log gets rolling too far, Administrator has stated in About the Forum that he doesn't want to create any more regional forums within state forums. He wants forums within state forums to be focused on cities.

Parts of Central Texas are part of the Hill Country. For example, the western edges of Austin, Liberty Hill, Burnet County, etc. It runs up to Georgetown west of IH35.

Then there's the confusion, because some folks think Waco is Central Texas, but as long as I can remember, that's been the Austin area and environs.

The Hill Country is a subregion of Central Texas, which is why I was suggesting doing one for the entire region.

Well if Waco isn't Central Texas then what would you call it?

Thanks for the clarification, Bowie.
