Always has been. It's hippie central
By the way, the racial makeup of the two aren't exactly the same. Clarke only has around 120,000 whereas Tuscaloosa has close to 200,000.
Also the black population in Tuscaloosa is a higher percentage than Clarke.
So yes Athens is little Austin. Weird. Gritty. Hipster. College.

Liberal hippies are the worst kind of hippies.
Give me a Libertarian hippie all day, everyday. They're cool.

Austin is different in terms of demographics. Austin has hardly any blacks, particularly central Austin which has almost none. The east side has some, but gentrification and the tax man are quickly chasing them out. Austin is white liberals and hipsters up against white libertarian gun freaks and conspiracy nuts; it's not grimy or really that weird. Hell, Houston is weirder and WAY grimier. SF and NYC are REAL weird. Austin is white, new, and clean. Don't base your impression on 6th Street. That's pretty much the only non-pure-white non fancy-arse brand-new trendy white thing in town.

Is this actually a phrase? Also Austin is losing it's identity. It's becoming more and more like Dallas every day.

Dont forget Athens has a well established gay community. Tuscaloosa not as much. Gays always vote liberal for obvious reasons.
