This town is a nightmare for all nearby towns or people passing through. Expect to add an hour to your trip if you're passing through. Traffic. Traffic traffic.

Bald Eagle gets no love from COW.soon displaced! - 10/13/2018
i was raised in waco tx and recently moved to country to get away from the drama and crime associated w living in waco.But it seems now the city of Waco has purchased land in my rural communtie to put a landfill that willhost 11 countys.This city council has no regard to the residents this will impact that live here.Most of these folks are farmers and ranchers.There is Bald Eagles currently nested there on property that will have no where to live.More details than I have time to write,Waco residents will suffer also,there will be a 83% increase in trash services and taxs.There is no concern to taxpayers money,they have no concern for what the rural community residents will suffer due to all the dangers of a landfill.They do not care about the enviroment, wildlife,people or taking ANY measures of helping to reduce the destruction of this planet.Bonus to add to this sad story is the only recycling center was recently bought by city of waco and now they have plans to tear it down to make

The truth is I never thought I would ever live in Waco, TX. I would say this city is more family orientated. Housing is very affordable and one can get a really nice new home for 110k depending where you are looking. A slamming home above 150k (as they say back home)you even can get a foreclosed home at 60k depending location, but sometimes renovation is needed. Lets face it as like everywhere you have your bad and good areas. You definitely get more for your buck here and gas is relatively cheaper than the bigger cities. Restaurant's in general you get a lot for your money and there very good ones, for me the only drawback is the variety (Indian, Cuban, Colombian and so on). From my experience people are friendlier and courteous especially to seniors. Every now and then you'll get a knuckle head but it is rare. My parents relocate to Houston TX in 96 I'm the only son, so my duty is to care for them and I am SO Glad they picked TEXAS. The biggest plus is
