Associated PressThe legacy of Lady Bird Johnson's love of nature lives on today.

Austin, Texas is the place to be.

US News & World Report rated the Texas capital as the best place to live this year. It's also a great spot if you're looking for a job or seeking a high quality of life.

It's clear that life is pretty good in ATX.

This is largely thanks to a former First Lady.

In the 1970s, after her husband Lyndon B. Johnson left the White House, her passion for conservation also laid the groundwork for some of Austin's most beloved spots.
