Residents’ cars are sometimes seen displaying bumper stickers that read “78704—more than a zip code, a way of life.” “Laid back,” eclectic, and trendy are words that describe this area. The Art Car parade happens here, too! The Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge not only connects North and South Austin through the city’s center but is also home to more than a million Mexican Freetail bats. A popular summer outing is watching the bats take flight at dusk. St Edwards University, a private Catholic university, is located here and so is South Austin Medical Center.
