i lived in midland (the neighboring town for you who don’t know it)....and it sux just like midland….the only thing i liked was that it had the bigger mall and more stuff like that than midland….but basically it sux…when i was telling my husband about the area, and how the only hills were the overpasses, he didn’t believe me and when we flew there just over a yr and half ago to visit my parents, he was like “Holy Sh*t!!! this place does suck!!!)...so unless you are really into dry flat areas and football, not worth it except as a pit stop on a road trip…
the people are friendly for the most part…if you wave when driving down the street in any of the decent neighborhoods, most will wave back…but this is Christian/Republican territory..so if you are liberal just a little bit or “different” be careful what you say or do…this is part of the reason i had to get out of there…there is such a close-mindedness towards anyone “different” (ex: gay, stoner/skater/goth, multiracial couples even to some extent…..etc)
