Austin, Texas - the city where thousands of car bumpers showcase the 'Keep Austin Weird' sticker - lives up to its slogan.

That’s exactly what Pine Bluff, Arkansas is doing. They've asked the federal government for $1.4 million to build a children’s water park, according to the 2009 Main Street Economic Recovery Report
