San Angelo may be worth visiting, but only if you’re looking for a place to sleep on the road to somewhere better. I came here to go to college, and the school has much to be desired. Sure the people are quasi-friendly in the general Texan way, but scratch the suface and peer beneath…
The small community atmosphere is due to the “town” not having any clearly defined subdivisions, everything just kind of runs haphazardly into eachother. Streets are confusing and often lead you around in circles if you don’t know where you’re going. 5 way intersections are popular, making some stops unbearably long.
Living in the desert treats you to salty, poorly treated water. The weather is about as predictable as the sun coming up (hot, stale, humid). If it ever did rain on more than the off occasion the city would drown (no drains!!). Don’t expect to take a leisurely walk/bikeride anywhere except a park, because there are no sidewalks, and no bike paths to help cut down on traffic. I have seen random bus now and then but have no idea of it’s scheduling or destination so it’s worthless.
All in all, this is one of many places around the country I’ve lived, and I hope to be taking my family and relocating sooner rather than later.
