About ATX
What is ATX?
ATX is the popular nickname for Austin, Texas — styled like an airport code (similar to PDX for Portland), even though Austin-Bergstrom International Airport's actual code is AUS. Locals and local brands use "the ATX" interchangeably with Austin proper and the surrounding Travis County area. ATX Things is a daily guide to that area: live Barton Creek Greenbelt swim conditions, restaurant health scores, bar revenue trends, and neighborhood-by-neighborhood guides, updated every day.
