I would avoid Waco, mostly because I-35 is so central to the North/South traffic flow there and is so terribly always in a state of disrepair and repair and demolition and re...molition… Waco is also a college town, but it’s a very conservative college town. You’ll get the college town downsides, but not many of the upsides. The only thing in my mind that is a merit to Waco is that it isn’t far from West and in West you’ve got Kolaches. (I went to Baylor, briefly, in my younger days and soon fled.)
You’re probably right. I only ever went there for bike races, and it seemed generally pleasant. I also knew a couple that owned a coffee shop there and they seemed cool. I can definitely believe that it would be awkwardly conservative for MIRI.

Super-tangential, I know, but there are at least two Austin bakeries that bake a range of fresh kolaches every day, https://www.batchatx.com/menus and https://www.quacksbakery.com/
