Houston is currently the petrochemical capital of the country and is home to big facilities of NASA. Dallas is a financial center and defense contracting and I.T. center. The capital, Austin, is a music powerhouse and has spawned many acts including Stevie Ray Vaughan. At Town Lake in Austin stands a huge statue of Stevie holding his signature Fender Strat. Austin and the rest of Texas also hold claim to having the best Barbeque in the country. Typically Brisket and Sausage are the main dishes, with Texas toast and baked beans on the side.
