Killeen

Killeen is only worth visiting if there’s someone you love there. In my case, there was. But it’s not somewhere I would just take a day trip to.

I was stationed there for 3 years. If your in the Army….do anything you can not to go there. The best thing is being so close to Austin, TX. Thats it.

This town is wretched. I have two more years here and cannot wait until it is over. The schools are horrible!! I lived in a run down, poor, sometimes dangerous neighborhood before I lived here and I really would love to go back. The people here are not friendly and the traffic is bad. Make sure you do not leave your house between 4 and 6 at night or it will take at least an hour to get down the road.

Take the Service road off of 190, most places so far that i’ve seen are on that road. Use a GPS if you can, will help.

ride the go-karts at put put, fun day… try to get kart 20 or 14 (written on the back of kart in white) these are double karts and you can drive them w/o a passanger as long as there is room… they are faster karts.

I hear it’s in the middle of nowhere and the biggest draw in Killeen is the Wal-Mart. But my baby’s there and I’m going to go see him before they send him over to that giant mess of a sandbox.

This is certainly not anyplace I would go if my fiance didn’t live there. That being the case, this (or a town near it) will be my home in about a year and a half. It was worth visiting because he’s there. :)

I went to High School here and I left in 1996 (Air Force) and for some reason (parents duped me into staying) I’m back, may god help me. I had alot of fun here when I was a teenager but, don’t come here unless you’re in the Army in which case you almost have no choice. If you like car dealerships (an un-godly amount), pawn shops, chinese food joints, dry-cleaners, moderate to slightly high unemployment (except for fast food joints and car sales persons, obviously), Army types who live at Wal-Mart, ridiculous traffic at almost any hour (maybe folks looking for employment) and duplex/4 plex apartments with four people over the age of 21 living together in just one, then Killeen, TX is the place for you.

The pit of hell..

Killeen is different because it definitively is where everyone is. Since its a military town, you all sorts of people. You need to keep an open mind to a different kind of culture there.

I worked here in 99’ for a month. Other places in Texas are worth visiting I know, but Killeen IS NOT WORTH VISITING. I didn’t have time to visit any other cities.
