Discuss.

Ft. Worth doesn't have as much to do as Dallas. It's a little quieter than Dallas, but I don't like having to drive 20-30 minutes to do things.

In about a month, my husband is moving us out of Texas and into West Virginia. You may feel sorry for me now.

You will LOVE San Marcos! Be sure to eat at Grin's, Herbert's Taco Hut, and get the boyfriend to take you to Palmer's. Shop at Paper Bear (not to mention the outlet stores!) and have a margarita at the Green Parrot!

Well, you might as well go ahead and buy you something with that baby-puke orange cowhead on it, as anyone that goes to SWT is just a frustrated Longhorn who couldn't get into Austin. And I woudln't go all out on the TSU-SM wardrobe yet, that school changes names every 4 years, they're due for a new one.

Kitso
KS 361 years from now, Texas A&M will still be Texas A&M

LOL I promise I won't go all out on the wardrobe.
Baby puke orange? Damn!

LOL I probably won't buy anything now!

Thanks! I'll make a note of that!
I'm from Atlanta, so I don't know a thing about Texas. The last time I was out there, I was in Nacogdoches with the boo

and he took me to Dallas, where he's from. I liked Dallas from what I saw.

I am so sorry. Be sure and get a Texas Monthly subscription. It really helps.

So sad what's happening in West Virginia. A state so blessed with natural resources and beauty, and it's being stolen by outsiders that don't care at all about the land and its residents. My boyfriend and I watched a documentary the other night about the new style of mining being done in West Virginia - called Rise Up! West Virginia - that was very educational and disturbing.

Oh, Jenn.

Sending hugs your way.

I went to grad school in the western part of Virginia...in other words about 30 minutes from the state line of West Virginia. It is absolutely gorgeous... no doubt... but... let me put it this way:

The first day of hunting season is a school holiday.

I wish I were making that up, but I am not.

People in Texas think that Arkansas is full of red-necks. Sad to say- Arkansas is full of sophistication compared to what you will encounter in WVa.

But... it is beautiful. Take in the beauty for all that it is worth. If not the most beautiful state in our country, it is certainly top 3.

I know it is!! The kids don't go to school on first day of hunting season!

You're right, it is beautiful. More so than I was expecting. I just wish there was more stuff there.

Dallas is getting so ridiculously metro and trendy it's hard to stomach.

Love Ft. Worth though. Bunch to do if you know what you are doing.

Most of the social activities during my freshman year of college took place in Ft. Worth, so I know that there are things to do. Most of what I've seen recently is the city trying to recapture the whole "Cowtown" thing (I know it's always been Cowtown, but there seems to be more of an emphasis on it now). That really doesn't appeal to me.

I like the direction that Dallas is going in because it's trying harder to be a "real" city now.
