general comments - 4/6/2008

I interviewed for a job here but was unable to find an apartment and was not able to make the move. I wish I had gotten to Bonham is a great little town with very friendly plain folk. The town itself has much southern charm and lacey trimmed cottages and big porches and plenty of plant life. They tell me gardening is the main hobby in town. Shopping wise being close to Sherman and Paris and Dallas take care of that. The mom and pop's businesses in town had pretty much what a person would need on a daily basis though. The pace was slow and pleasent. This is an ideal town for someone seeking a quiet country life. There is much potential for quaint ecclectic business here all it needs is a few artisitic folks and a developer this could be the B&B capitol of northeast Texas someday.[read more...]
