2010 Trends: 10 and 1/2 Trends to Watch

Texas
Weird as it may be, there’s an undeniable pull toward the secessionist state.

Pick any 2009 economic rankings list and the “Texaplex” cities—Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin—will have nabbed a spot or three. Austin and Dallas are counted among The Wall Street Journal’s top Youth Magnet cities, and Texas cities were half of the Brookings Institution’s list of top 10 strongest metro areas. Texas dominated 2009’s lists of best relocation destinations, home-building markets and job-creation cities. This very magazine also named Austin one of its own Best Cities for Small Businesses.

“Texas has fared this recession better than most other parts of the country,” says Brad Burke, managing director of Rice University’s Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. “The state became much more diversified over the last decade. It’s investing [billions] in growth industries.

Certainly, the state’s low-tax, pro-business climate helps. Texas is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other, and accounted for an astonishing 59 percent of all new jobs created in the U.S. last year. Its current unemployment rate hovers below the nation’s average.

And let’s not forget how it nurtures entrepreneurship. Burke notes that applications to Rice’s graduate entrepreneurship program—ranked in the nation’s top five, of course—are way up.

Still need proof? Check out Gov. Rick Perry’s prolific “Texas Brags” web page.

Say what you will, disgruntled Californians, but one state still has a budget surplus, and its Lone Star is rising. —J.W., Entrepreneur Magazine, Dec. 2009

I miss Austin.

In fact, I miss the whole Lone Star State - especially the Alamo basement.

James & I stayed here for my birthday this year. It was cold and rainy and perfect. There was a painting of a sunflower in our room and a plaid bedspread. The bathroom had one of those sunburst patterned glass inserts in the windows and it sent rainbows all over the shower. There were hardwood floors.

“Anecdote: This girl in my Memoir class sounds exactly like Alexis Bledel. It’s uncanny. You know, she has the I’m-so-sweet-even-though-I’m-gorgeous-and-have-crazy-wolf-eyes thing down pat. So the other day, for the sake of my tortured soul, I asked her to say, “My name is Rory Gilmore. At the end of the series, I marry Jess, and Dean catches chlamydia and dies.” Peace at last.”
