Review of Texarkana, Texas


Awful Place to Live
Star Rating - 2/13/2011
This place has so many negatives that I don't know where to begin. Low paying jobs, nothing for families to do, streets are falling apart and very few sidewalks, low income housing projects everywhere, overpriced homes, crime, an abundance of correctional facilities, run down areas out number the nice areas, and the list goes on. The town itself seems more like a large truck stop. Avoid this place like the plague!!!

I live here in Texarkana tx and so far I been robbed in a public parking lot forced to go to the atm. even told my bank and they didn't care. they wouldn't even try to return the money thet was taken and find the guy. I culdnt even make a police report cause they all look alike! I been publicly approached in a target store. made me feel not welcome. theres to many dark people that only care about themselves here. its not welcoming at all. if I had a choice and money I would leave this place willingly. any place is better then this place. Theres no jobs at all I cant even get one. No respect. treated like an outsider. the towns really are messed up theres more banks then houses. who needs 5 or more banks on one strip of road ? that's a waste of money and city space. you could build homes there but no. theres no brains in Texarkana tx. and if your in one your most likely in a rental. or lived there since birth. the houses are a joke everyone house here has something wrong with it. everyone appears to spy on each other. I went out side and there were a lot of people looking at me. I was just getting the mail. lost of people speed down the street mostly school kids I guess. but that's not safe if you have kids trying to live there life. someone might get hit. the construction does take time years even. there still working on some areas from the time I moved in here. and theres like no cops in town that stay in town. you can sit in one place and count the wrongs before you'd see any cops. I guess its live in Texarkana tx at your own risk ...theres a lot more to this place then I can type on this page but anyway don't come here you'll hate it. and if you have kids make sure you keep them inside cause outside is not safe. trust me. don't take them out of your sight. not in this city anyway.

I Agree with most of your statement . Texarkana is just a giant Toilet Bowl and it smells like one and if you can find a woman under 200 lbs including the HighSchools good luck.. I stayed in Texarkana for 4 years and chose to stay single because the whole town is married up with cousins or whatever person they can find to bring into the disfunctional enviroment. hygene is a big problem also since the sink water comes out brown. This Place is Great if your a alcoholic or want to become one everyone dresses like they are homeless anyways. Take my Advice if passing through just pull over to the side of the road take a good dump and keep going no one will even notice.
