The Simpson family home has sat vacant for nearly a year since Suzanne Simpson went missing, and her husband, Brad, was charged with her murder.

Now, Brad Simpson gave up his stake in the property, and a judge said it could be sold.

Haha very big! In weather stories, I refer to San Antonio as South Central Texas (the NWS definition).

But culturally, we’re being linked as the San Antonio-Austin metro area. (You seem Austin central)

We’re about as fear from Corpus as we are Killeen.

So what does that make us?

Fair questions:
- is San Antonio South or Central Texas? Or South Central Texas? (I guess we can make up our own to spite SEO)
- is Texas South or Southwest?
- Where does the Texas Hill Country start and stop?

I have questions. Everyone has answers. I think they’re all wrong

Would you consider Austin Central Texas?

It’s tricky! I’m SA born and raised. It’s the bottom of Central Texas and top of South Texas. NWS calls it South Central Texas. Either way, I believe it’s the first store in South or Central Texas
