| A good place to raise a family. - 8/21/2008
Wichita Falls is a great place to live and raise a family if you aren't the type that likes to "keep up with the Joneses." It's just big enough (103,000 population) to have all the important things but without the traffic jams. We lack a little in culture but if you really need that D/FW is only 2 hours away. When we go to bigger cities we are always glad to come home![read more...]

| Jobs - 11/3/2007
I have lived in Wichita Falls for over a decade. The main problems with the economy her is jobs. About the only new opportunities are service jobs, especially restaurants and hotels. If you are in that line of work, you will have good opportunities but if you aren't you will struggle financially. There are very few science jobs and the ones that are rarely come open. Accounting jobs are available, but the accounting firms want to pay below average wages, work you to death during tax season and then let you go; that is, if they hire you in the first place. The accounting firms will only hire you if your personality appears to be one that will tolerate that kinds of behavior. If you come across as confident and can think for yourself they will not hire you because they just want drones that don't ask questions and work 18 hours a day.[read more...]

| great weather! good place to settle down. - 9/4/2007
i lived in wichita falls for a short period from very late august 2005 to the last week of december 2005. even from being there a short time, i'm convinced that i would enjoy living there again! i lived at the roadrunner apartments next to sheppard afb- only the friendliest people there! the owner of the apartments was so polite and made me feel at home. the people just tend to be like that there- no complaints! there are SOOO many things to do there, and the weather will hardly ever go against you when you a plan a day out in the sun. i got there at the end of summer, but it was still very nice and the sun was always shining- even towards the winter. there was very little snow, but still enought to make a girl from chicago happy :)[read more...]

| got potential - 5/6/2007
Not much to do in this town but 2hrs from Dallas and OK city. East of I-44 is a economic disaster. Where most other city's would have forced demolition this one is interested in taxes. The city code enforcement seems to be on the take. Crime is where you expect it. The city is taking an agressive approach to the latin gangs with cutting edge laws. Dont get me wrong this is not Dallas or LA just a bunch of local wanna be's that have potential to do whats been done to most larger Tx cities. Drivers are passive agressive. The citys survival hinges on the air base,PPG,and few other industry's. Most new housing and business is west of I-44. Housing rates are stable, with good schools that are just getting the needed funds to upgrade.Overall a good place to raise a family.[read more...]

| much better - 12/29/2006
I visited Wichita Falls in the summer of 2006 and fell in love with the place and the people that I met there. I came back to Michigan and immediately put my house up for sale. It is now January and I am set to move to this beautiful city, bought a house, and already have a new job lined up. Compared to Michigan the economy is booming. Jobs are plentiful and the people are so nice.[read more...]

| lawenforcement - 8/9/2005
The patroling enforcement, have no respect for civilization. They act as though a person who makes a small traffic violation is the scum of the earth, like they've never made mistakes. The laws we are suppose to abide by, do not pretain to them. If people were perfect (like they claim to be) how would they earn a paycheck? No mistakes, no taffic violations, no money, would led to no paycheck. So instead of downgrating the public for their mistakes, shouldn't they thank the lawbreaker for putting food on their table? They are also more worried about the drug problem in the town, than solving the numerous unsolved murders. The drugs have $$money$$ envolved, unlike a innocent victim whos life has been taken. Drug dealers choose to sell drugs, drug users choose to use drugs, but do victims choose to be a victim?[read more...]
