In a time when airfare is ridiculous and gas requires a mortgage loan, now seems like the opportunity to discover Central Texas. There are so many bed & breakfasts in this region that someone could get exceedingly tired of them, so drive around on a weekend and check in, and see why these places stay in business. Also, remember that house that was way too big to begin with since the kids moved out? With some cooking classes and some creativity, there's a business opportunity to be had, or a rental opportunity for special events like SXSW, ACL, UT vs. A & M, the Pecan Street Festival, etc.
Also, there are natural wonders that can spur on conservation efforts, like Natural Bridge or Inner Space. Central Texas is built on so much limestone that caves have probably yet to be discovered, and to the brave adventurer, there is plenty to see in the well-known caves. Creeks need visiting, even when they don't have water, and there are plenty of rivers that still have water, such as the Guadalupe River. For all those jobless college graduates, those are foundations waiting to be set up or led, hint, hint. When visiting those out-of-reach places, it becomes apparent why some places need cars while Austin could rely on transit.
Central Texas has a lot to offer, so I would recommend visiting many of the places within this area, just to remind us why we live in Austin, and visit other places.
