Misplaced Midwesterner - 7/5/2008
It's HOT here! I miss the snow and the seasons. Culturally, Fort Worth is a good fit for most midwesterners, I think. It's pretty "real", kind of conservative, and the home prices can't be beat. Fabulous for carnivores! Keep an ice scraper and a heavy jacket handy, but ditch the parka and shovel.
Be sure to have access to a swimming

Property taxes utility bills - 1/19/2008
Property taxes are too high, people here loose their homes because they can't afford the taxes. Open a news paper and see all the homes being auctioned at the court house steps. I purchased a home for 160,000 and was paying close to 4,800 in property taxes a year. H.O. insurance, 1200.00 ,car insurance really high a lot of dumb drivers there. Life threating storms:tornados, baseball size hail, black ice, high winds. Climate terrible hot,muggy,jungle heat only April,May,late October are decent. Electrical bills average 450.00 in summer your A/C comes on in May and doesn't stop till late October 24/7.

Only good thing I enjoyed was the T.C.U. football games that I miss (GO-FROGS) Las Cruces N.M. best place to live for the
