Drunk driver Wade Atwood (40) killed pedestrian Wayne Noel (32) of @ATXHipsters on 4/26/14.

I'm starting to think Austin should change its slogan to "Drunk Driving Capital of the World".

(Okay, I looked it up, and we're actually #9 in the list of drunk driving cities.  Not the worst, but still pretty pathetic.)

Being in the top 1000 is shameful.
