Finally, a new post on a different day

Median homes costs aren't close to $102,000. It's closer to $180,000. People here still believe the price of gas and oil will go up so housing prices won't drop for a while. No real nature trails around here because there are few trees. The trails at San Angelo State Park are poorly marked so it's unlikely you'll find a trail head. San Angelo is the largest city that's not on the Interstate so it's isolated which can be a good or bad thing depending on your needs. The local airport has daily flights to Dallas and no long security lines so coming and going is pretty easy. There's a sizable university with Angelo State University but it doesn't seem to make much of an impact on the city so I wouldn't call this a college town. Health care is so-so with a couple of hospitals. I had to wait 5 months to get an appointment with my new family doctor- wow. Be prepared to drive on wide roads with so little traffic that you'd mistake the roads for runways. The loop around the city makes it possible to live on the edge of town and get downtown in 15 minutes or less. Pretty amazed to see the inside of some houses when we were looking for a house. Walls covered in crosses and Texas lone stars all over town. Definite difference here from where we came from in Georgia. Most Hispanics have been here for generations so if your Spanish isn't great you won't have problems.
