You know, telling people all about the issues\u2014Austin\u2019s political atmosphere, Austin\u2019s weather, and more important things like where to get the best barbecue.<br \/>\nAnd that\u2019s where things got a little heated.<br \/>\nWhy mention Franklin and not Stubbs? Why SXSW and not ACL? And seriously, what about Stubbs? So in today\u2019s post, I\u2019m going to cut straight to the chase and address the black denim-wearing, long-haired, mustachioed, hipster-meets-hippie Austin elephant in the room, in a battle to end all battles. Here are the Top 10 Debates in <a title=\"Homes for Sale in Austin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/property\/tx\/austin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Austin<\/a>.<br \/>\nAnd for added fun, I\u2019ve gone ahead and indicated my choices (the correct choices) in bold. So feel free to agree, disagree, or take it virtual mud-wrastle style in the comments below.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Rainey v. West Sixth Street<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16989\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16989\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16989\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Robert Hensley\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-1.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"251\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16989\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Robert Hensley<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nUntil about four years ago, West Sixth Street was the go-to place for young professionals, frat boys and sorority girls, and\u2026 well, frat boys and sorority girls turned young professionals. But then Lustre Pearl came to Rainey Street, paving the way for other bars and restaurants like Clive, Bar 96, and Bangers, to make things a whole lot more confusing for trendy Austinites\u2014to hula hoop at Lustre Pearl, or be a bro at Molotov? <b>Winner: Rainey<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>2. Lake Austin v. Lake Travis<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16990\" alt=\"Austin 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-2.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><br \/>\nImagine a beautiful lake, surrounded by lush, green trees, rolling hills, golf courses, and some of the largest and most extravagant homes you\u2019ve ever seen. Wakeboarders, jet skiers, and lake rats of all types take over the waters during the long, hot, summer days, stopping by Austin-famous restaurants that dot the shores for snacks. This magnificence is the reality that is Lake Austin\u2026 and Lake Travis. So you can see why there is a debate. <b>Winner: Lake Austin<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>3. Whole Foods v. Central Market<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16991\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16991\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16991\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user gisele13\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-3.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"292\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user gisele13<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nJust because Whole Foods started out in Austin, doesn\u2019t mean it is any cheaper than the Whole Foods in your city. Central Market is like the less expensive little sister of Whole Foods; it\u2019s kind of like a Trader Joe\u2019s, and for many Austinites (like me) it is the clear choice over Whole Foods. Though, sadly, it does not come with a chocolate fountain. <b>Winner: Central Market<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>4. Greenbelt v. Barton Springs<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16992\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16992\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16992\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Shawn Thomas\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-4.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Shawn Thomas<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThere comes a point in every Austinite\u2019s summer when they must decide: to the Greenbelt or to Barton Springs? There are obvious pluses and minuses to each; the Greenbelt is free, you can bring your dog, you can bring drinks; on the other hand, it can be pretty gross when it hasn\u2019t rained in a while. And while Barton Springs may not allow Fido, at least there is always water in it (icey, numbing, water!) <b>Winner: Greenbelt<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>5. ACL v. SXSW<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16993\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16993\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16993\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user ejmc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-5.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user ejmc<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nSouth by Southwest is every spring for about a week, and is a veritable mess of thousands of musicians, comedians, film producers, game creators, and celebrities. Austin City Limits is in October (now two weekends instead of one!) and filled with about the same\u2014only in this case, the who\u2019s who are mostly the audience*. <b>Winner: ACL<\/b><br \/>\n*Next time you go to Austin City Limits, play \u201cSpot Ryan Gosling!\u201d What do you get if you win? You get to SEE Ryan Gosling!<\/p>\n<h2>6. Matt\u2019s El Rancho v. Maudie\u2019s<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16994\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16994\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16994\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Paul Lowry\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-6.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"449\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16994\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user Paul Lowry<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nFor one reason or another there is a debate between these two Tex-Mex restaurants; but if you ask me, the people voting for Maudie\u2019s must be basing it on something besides the quality of the food. Maybe they have nicer hand soap in the bathrooms? <b>Winner: Matt\u2019s El Rancho<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>7. Kerbey Lane vs. Magnolia Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16995\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16995\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16995\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user nffcnnr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-7.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16995\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user nffcnnr<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nBoth 24-hour diners, both Austin staples, and both offer up some dangerously delicious cheesy appetizers\u2014Cowboy Queso and Mag Mud, respectively (Cowboy Queso is the clear winner.) It really comes down to ambiance: Would you prefer to be surrounded by drunk, college kids at 2:30 a.m. at Kerbey Lane or Magnolia? <b>Winner: Kerbey Lane<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>8. Town Lake v. Lady Bird Lake<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16996\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16996\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16996\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user pboyd04\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-8.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16996\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user pboyd04<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nIf your lifelong best friend, Tracey, suddenly asked you to start referring to her as Miss Lucinda Fancypants, you\u2019d probably tell her no, continue to call her Tracey, and perhaps start to worry about her and her 36 cats. While the case isn\u2019t quite the same for Lady Bird Lake, it does feel a bit forced to suddenly start calling the Austin landmark, Town Lake, by its new name\u2014even if it was legally changed to Lady Bird. I\u2019m sorry\u2014do you call it Lady Bird Lake? I reckon you\u2019re not from around here. <b>Winner: Town Lake<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>9. The Driskill v. the W<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16997\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16997\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16997\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user rutlo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/Austin-9.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16997\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Flickr user rutlo<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nJust like Town Lake vs. Lady Bird Lake, this isn\u2019t really about the surface debate of two hotels; it\u2019s about Old Austin vs. the New. The Driskill, built in the heart of downtown in 1886 is clearly the Old\u2014charming, elegant, and yet cozy. The W\u2014built in the future, apparently, and sent back to Austin via a hellish, character-draining portal in West Hollywood\u2014clearly the new. But just lovely, really. <b>Winner: The Driskill<\/b><\/p>\n<h2>10. Austin v. Rick Perry<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_16998\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16998\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16998\" alt=\"Source: Flickr user Stephen C.

Webster<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThere is a clear divide between most Austinites, who are notoriously liberal, progressive, and generally value human rights\u2014and the Texas Governor, Rick Perry, who is known for being conservative, regressive, and\u2026 what\u2019s the third one, there?<br \/>\nAnyway, I think this picture speaks for itself.
