City of Paris, Texas - A Heaven for Gangs/criminal - 10/25/2020
It's a city where the city administration [ City Mayor, Commissioners, City Manager, DA of the County, & Police Dept] -
protects the gangs/ criminals/looters/hackers/stalkers/etc, etc. If the gangs/criminals have got proven records of imprisonment for any criminal ties - that works better for getting easy protection form the administration. It's a safe heaven for them.
If you are one of them you may move here. They need more gangs/criminals in this city.
If you are not one of them - your life will be HELL. The administration will do every thing to make your life hell. And at one point you will be sick - by the continuous and constant harassments perpetrated by the local officials.
The administration is comprised with - wild animals. And they cannot do anything

Great Place for Catholic families and retirees - 2/19/2017
The cost of living runs close to 30% lower than the average for the US. The local parish, Our Lady of Victory, can accommodate another 100 - 200 families. The State of Texas certified Paris as a retirement community. The town doesn't offer much in entertainment value, but you can reach Dallas or Shreveport (Bossier City) in about 1.5 hours. Check on Broken Bow Lake area, the Ozark Mountains, White River and Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
Bossier City has the best music next to New Orleans and also some Casinos and other entertainment venues. Dallas-Ft. Worth has about everything

Don't move to Paris! - 10/26/2009
It is a small town with absolutely no diversity and nothing to do! The shopping is terrible. Your choice of restaurants is slim to none. High crime

An outstanding place to live - 7/13/2009
If you like outdoor activities such as golfing, boating, hiking, biking, swimming, etc. then you can't beat living in Paris. The cost of living is great, the people are friendly and the weather is fantastic (if you like the heat). Pat Mayse lake is 10 miles north of town and has great boating, hiking, camping and moutain biking. Broken Bow Oklahoma is an hour away and provides more of the same as well as gorgeous landscapes. You can join the Paris Golf and Country Club for pennies on the dollar compared to bigger cities. There are also a lot of cultural activities to do as well such as the Paris Community Theater, Bywaters Park where they show movies and hold concerts, Love Civic Center where they have some pretty good concerts and the local bars have a great music scene as well. In short, you can do just about everything in Paris you can in a bigger city, there's just one of each thing instead of a hundred. That comes at the benefit of being a dirt cheap place to live. In addition to

Overall a good place to live, but don't expect muc - 5/11/2009
Paris is a nice, fairly safe place to live, but there is little to do. It is a good place to raise children, but because there is so little to do, some get into trouble with drugs and/or drinking. The drug problem is one reason the crime rate is so high here. There is usually about one activity a month at the town square or convention center and a fairly large arts community with a community theatre, but otherwise most activities revolve around one's local church: there are lots of revivals and other church-related social functions. There are a few honky tonks and one wine bar with very strange hours, but overall living in the town is boring, especially if one doesn't like either the religious or honky tonk extreme. Given the higher income level and sophiscation of many of the citizens (compared to other small towns in Texas), it is somewhat surprising that there is so little to do. Although come to think of it, most are probably busy raising their families. Dallas is less

pretty good living - 10/4/2008
Best year-round climate! It has four seasons: long spring and summer, long fall and short winters. Wonderful place for retirees. Small cozy city; you can go anywhere you need to go in the city under 15 minutes. Many modern medical facilities. Low taxes, low housing prices. Lots of churches...all well-attended. Community theater and a community college and many wonderful small-town spirited activities.
Big city Dallas/Fort Worth convenient...about an hour away.
More job opportunities than most small towns, but good solid skills are a plus in any small city.
I don't know how other cities in the area fare, but I'd say the water and electric rates are a tad high in Paris. Property taxes seem

My Town of Paris - 9/21/2008
If you are looking for a quaint not too small town Paris, Texas is a good choice. It is close to the natural beauty of SE Oklahoma, has a small junior college, excellent hospitals, a well developed, long established and very active community theater. Three school districts and a very quaint downtown with a beautiful
