I know there was/is a campaign with t-shirts and such, but I want to know if they succeeded. I was there a few years ago and it looked like the yuppies were winning...

While the Yuppies have made some dramatic inroads into the weirdness of Austin (mostly be driving up commercial rents for retailers). Many of those same Yuppies come from weird stock and appreciate the diversity of Austin. The real threat comes from cookie cutter stores and themed chain "family restaurants". Those mostly are nipping away at the outskirts of Travis county in the newly developed areas.
Austin is still weirder than most, but not as weird as it once was.

yuppies definitly took over and the developments began! I live 45 minutes from austin and can't stand the amount of growth and now they're sending people and businesses my way! I can't stand it! I need to see land, farms and forest!

The weirdness seems to be getting confined to South Austin. It's our hold-out. :)
