Texas, TX
East Texas -
9/2/2012I have lived in the mid-west, northwest, northeast and Gulf Coast sections of the United States and have travelled extensively. I have resided in Texas for the past 40 years, and for the most part it's been a great experience. Recently I retired to the northeast part of Texas, an area in which I had very little exposure. My mistake. The populace is remarkably clanish and pride themselves on how many family generations have lived in the same area. For that reason, I believe the gene pool has become so narrow that it's just about dry. Come to Texas, enjoy all it has to offer, but somewhere other than northeast Texas. Do a little background work and concentrate on avgs. for education, growth, income, jobs (particularly govt.), crime, and welfare recipients. You'll be amazed.
