I am college educated, conservative, Christian and have a great deal of experience in Sales and marketing. Any suggestions as to places to check out, companies to research, or any general information would be greatly appreciated. Not wanting to be in the larger cities. TIA
 
No, can't stand Beto, fake and a complete clown. Would like to see De Santis/Abbott in the Oval office. Have been a Christian for more than 25 years
 
Don't move to Austin. You can't call people a fa**ot in Austin. You'll get in trouble. New Braunfels is too crowded. Houston has plenty of jobs available-- as does Dallas-- but you don't want a big city.
What do you sell? Solar panels? Windmills?

Austin wouldn't be the place to move to if you're trying to avoid big cities. It maybe small compared to Houston and Dallas but there's a crap load of people living in a small apartment.
 
If you are wanting to visit Arkansas or have family there, I would start in McKinney. So take out your map and mark McKinney. It's outstanding. From there follow 180 across to Frisco... It's nice as well but both are expensive. From there continue to follow 180 all the way to Denton. Any of those areas between McKinney and Denton are nice.

Once in Denton, follow I35W south, these areas are crowded. It's not the city but they are high population density. Follow I35W south to 820. At the 820 loop, go west, you will find Blue Mound and Saginaw. These are not bad areas and are more affordable than the I35W and 180 Corridors. Following 820 West, the real gems appear at Azle/Springtown and south... I would check out Decatur as well. South of Azle and Springtown are Weatherford and Aledo. Weatherford is more affordable than Aledo. If you like 1 million dollar houses with high school taxes, Aledo is your place. You can find prices less than 1 million $$ but it's still pricey. South of Aledo on 377 is Granbury... it's nice but more of a retirement community. I would also look east from Granbury all the way to Mansfield, all nice places and somewhat rural. From Granbury, you can go west to Stephenville or south to Glen Rose. From those towns 281 lies to the south all the way to Corpus Christi. There are tons of nice places in the Hill Country.

Big city or smaller town guy? What kind of industry?
Big city - DFW - choose your poison - Fort Worth is more laid back big city. Dallas has the high end executives and fancy cars and high end woman. Then you have Irving, Las Colinas, Arlington, Coppel, Grapevine, et al. Frisco is basically a conservative way of life and literally has EVERYTHING! MCKinney, Allen, … But be prepared to pay the price. Or move out to one of the quickly enclosing propers - Weatherford, Aledo, Bridgeport, ..man I can go on and on.

I just think DFW offers everything big and small. And better weather than Houston or Texas south in general. West Texas is a desert. But if you have any experience in O&G then that’s the place to be right now. Don’t bother with South Texas lest you want to deal with the border fiasco. Nothing really going on down there anyway.

San Antonio is pretty cool to hang for a weekend and is growing fast but I’m not a big fan. Or move out to Boerne or Fredericksburg area if you like the small town, touristy type country life.

Someone needs to compile all these suggestions and write a book. This is some good stuff.

Fyi my kids just bought a cool place in Denton. Denton is going crazy right now and is becoming a chill little college town (North Texas) now that they have most of the I35 rebuild done.
 
Mostly paint and building material but am comfortable selling anything except cars and insurance
Sherwin Williams is huge down here in San Antone as well as MG and Dittmar for lumber and such. Country living 30 minutes east, southeast as well as south.

You left out an important detail. Are you an Arkansas fan?

It will directly impact where I tell you to go.

Aw great, all this state needs is more of your ilk. welcome.
By "ilk" you must mean "people that don't fall for bullsh!t being peddled by a ivy league pseudo-elitist who's never had an actual job, who's bilked hundreds of millions of dollars from donors, who's judge father got him out of a DWI, who lives off his wife's trust fund from her real-estate robber barron father, while wearing a dress and skateboarding in a Whataburger parking lot?"

You are correct sir. We need MANY more of this sort in Texas.
In fact, I believe that Beta would be the PERFECT candidate to go and run for governor of California.
As it happens, it's about the exact same distance from El Paso to LA... as it is from El Paso to Houston.

I was actually thinking Ilk in a different manner.

How about a one question qualifier to determine admittance to our great state.

Who won the 2020 election for President? That one question would determine a level of sanity and reality-based mentality.
 
East texas vs West Texas. East Texas is nice I like the scenery out there, very Christian out East. Marshall no, Tyler better. West Texas Midland oil oil oil. Grown tremendously out there with Midland and Odessa. People don't know how to drive out West many deaths out there. Stick to small towns if you want to be around other Christians, I live in a small country town south of Fort Worth and it's very Christian or should I say 7th Day Adventist.

I would accept Biden* as an answer. Need that asterisk.

If you're counting ballots, Biden received the most ballots. If you're counting actual votes, Trump won running away in a blowout.

There's another one question qualifier that you overlooked....Do Covid vaccines work to prevent or stop the spread of Covid?

Just one more report of the many.
