I'll be damn Belldozer, you and I are practically neighbors. Although I wrote that I reside in San Antonio, my house is located on the Northeast side of town in Cibolo.

I be damned. For some reason I was under the impression this whole time that you hailed from Uranus.

Hey Txn is all in good fun and a little payback from the other day when you zinged me pretty good. At least I indicated I was joking around with you. If you are going to play you gotta be prepared to pay
I agree but I've been here 35 years and it sure has changed a lot, some for the good and some for the bad. Growing up in the 70's and 80's around here I very rarely heard of a murder etc. but unfortunately with all of the growth also comes the bad things.Originally posted by LonghornMM:
Lucky you. There are a lot of worse places to live in Texas besides New Braunfels.
Still a nice town but it is changing like everything else I guess.
Cotton, you familiar with North Dallas? Specifically NW HWY and Preston Road area, DeLoache St. to be precise
Born and raised in AR surrounded by idiotic Razorback cult mentality. Moved to Austin for school - should've been born there. Never felt so at home in my life. Texas will always be home to me.
Yes,back in the 70's I lived in that area by bachman lake,north of love field before area turn to rot.Nw hwy/Preston rd was a shopping center with Foleys,not bad area.
I was born in Midland and then my family moved to Austin shortly thereafter. I have been here my entire life and LOVE IT.
Born in Houston. Raised in Richmond, home of The Talberts, Marvelous Marvin Kristynik, and the only aggie who didn't act like one, even though he won a National Championship in 1939.
Took my boss to Linda Mar last week and consumed a double-cheese in your honor!!Originally posted by MiccoMacey:
Tulsa, OK currently.
I have lived in Texas and really enjoyed it.
But I am an Okie. Which means I have 12 toes, I guess.

Man I was just born in 85 lol but I have tons of family there it's like the whole town is almost related. Yes small town you left Pecos at a good time you would of been depressed there during the 90's. Pecos has changed alot now with the oil field going strong you probably wouldn't recognize it. Every time I go back I feel like a tourist now. That's how crazy Pecos has gotten because of the oil field. Have you been to Pecos since you left? Don't forget Pecos is home of the world's first rodeo! VT does sound like a cult lol you can't get away from them even moving to another state lol

So true about the cult...There were 11 pregnencies my senior year......you may have been one? LOL... They called us the Pecos Padres for a while that year...crazy. I have been to Pecos a few times since I left. I was back there about 18 months ago. The town is tiny now. I noticed the new oil wells all around Reeves county and near Pecos. I got a brother who lives in Monahans now and a few more relatives in Odessa but most of us are in Virginia now. I will always be a Texan! Have you been to Pecos recently?

To txnwa. Did you go to Palo Duro Canyon when you were living in Amarillo? I went there in '97 with my kids and my first wife. PDC is the best kept secret in TX when it comes to beauty The TX Grand Canyon. Just beautiful. If anyone gets the chance to go there do it. Make sure you do the cowboy breakfast and see the play TX.
Wanted to but didn't get to see the Cadillac's buried upside down. Isn't there a restaurant where you get the chance to try and eat a 72 ounce steak with all the trimmings? Amarillo is a decent place.
