I live in Austin and if I want a tech book from borders, there is usually 0 inventory here. There is something about those San Antonio Borders, though. They seem to have all of the books in stock. Are they that much larger than the stores in Austin? Or is SA a growing tech hub?

There's only one SA borders that I know of; one got closed down within the past year. Huebner/I-10 is the open one.

I know several datacenters are in San Antonio. MSFT, Rackspace, etc. Also, the NW side has a medical center, a university, and several banks (USAA's HQ is a mile away from it).

In short, the NW side is an affluent area.
