Everythings bigger in texas!
So I've heard but I'm originally from a metro area on the East Coast and if anything is big in Texas it must be in the metro areas of Dallas or
Houston. Trust me, everything is small here. Any store, the newspaper building, courthouses, you name it. I can't tell you how many times I drove
by the local newspaper looking for it but didn't see it because it is only a one story building that's well less than a city block in size! Same
with Sears and television stations, hospitals, etc.
Everything is surprising small in Texas - even compared to 1970's standards! But I have no choice as I divorced and moved back in with my parents
after over 25 years. The tough part is finding a job that pays half decent. My parents retired to Texas because the cost of living is very
inexpensive, the property was cheap to buy and, as much as they complain about the cost of electricity and water, utilities are much, much less
expensive out here than back east in general.
