1. People must be clamoring to take their dogs to bars there.

And surely land developers are advocating for those who crave a high-rise condo on the banks of the Tigris.

2. They got a-ways to go, I'd say!!!! NT

[Fleshdancer]

3. that's going to require a lot more pot

I could see how an Amy's Ice Cream store would do very well there but do we Austinites really want to compete with Baghdad over being the live music capital of the world?

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. Nooo! Keep Austin weird.

6. Hippie Hollow

The Baghdad edition.

Edit-Now that I think of it, it might not be a bad place to send the Texas Legislature for a few sessions.

7. Lived there for 20 years

Going to have to import an entire new ecology to make Baghdad like Austin.

Maggie May's Rooftop deck in Baghdad doesn't seem like it would be much fun.

9. As long as it's not the reverse.

I love Austin.
