My wife and I had a rangy and illuminating tour with Chip on an unseasonably warm and lovely day in January, 2020. He couldn't have been more engaging, informed or gracious a host. We learned about Austin's geology, history, architecture, trends, neighborhoods, industries, politics, music, food and subcultures while taking in a bunch of essential sights. A highlight of our visit to the Lone Star State -- and hey, now we know why they call it that!
