      Your comment has sent down a road of rage and anger. We have a place in South Austin called Manchaca. You can always tell non-natives by how they pronounce it. People here call it “Man Shack” and people from abroad or new to the area call it “Maun Cha cua”

      You post reminded me of this place, and looking it up shows that for some stupid reason, Austin has decided to change the name of the main road from Manchaca rd to Menchaca rd but the area is still Manchaca. Feels the longer Im earth the stupider the world is.

        Burnet being called “burn it” and Guadalupe “guada loop” also invoke anger and frustration.
