0:00.0	Austin is a large city in central Texas, located about 80 miles northeast of San Antonio and
0:14.2	about 200 miles south of Dallas, with a population that currently lingers at around 1 million.
0:21.0	Even though Austin has been a large city for some time now, in the early 1990s it certainly
