Former Austinite creates "Don't Austin My Lockhart" hats

Details: Wimpy headed to Lockhart after her Austin rent went up almost $1,000 nearly four years ago, and she told Axios she doesn't print the phrase on hats and shirts to be mean toward Austinites.

• "It's not the point to scare people away and tell them not to come, because if you're sweet, wonderful, loving and kind and appreciate the community … then come on to Lockhart," Wimpy said.

Yes, but: Every time Wimpy wears a "Don't Austin My Lockhart" hat or shirt, she says, "the main thing I hear is 'It's already happening.'"

• "It's a hope and a prayer," Wimpy said of the phrase. "I can't be worried about something that I can't control."
