Bicycling is dangerous in Dallas and there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding with the cyclists and city counsel members. More bike trails need to be constructed in

The climate in Lubbock Texas is great. Winters aren't harsh. Falls are nice. Summers aren't toooo hot. Spring is nice- except for the wind and dirt storms. Other than that, it's great

Diversity - 4/17/2008
Texas is a place where you can walk in the desert of the west, swim in the ocean in the south, and climb the hills of central Texas. Don't forget camping in the eastern part in the Piney Woods.
Texas has such a diverse climate and topography, it makes it a pleasure just being in the outdoors with nature, whatever you want to do, feel free to find your own

Senior looking to move to Texas - 3/24/2008
I'm interested in moving to Texas from Raleigh, NC. The cost of living is very high here so need to move. I noticed the low taxes in Texas and the weather. I first pointed myself at San Antonio, but hearing all the negatives. I gave that up. Still would like to move. Any suggestions would be appreciated? A smaller town would be OK if it met my requirements. I went to Albuquerque NM for college but NM and AZ are just to costly for my retirement income. Would also like to get back on a horse again, raised some back in MI when I was younger. Looking for lower costs, a small apartment and walking distance to shopping.Maybe the western side of TX would be better?
Any Help and advice would be

Allen Texas - 3/24/2008
I am considering a move from Southern CA to Allen Texas. I have been there and tend to agree that most of the people are friendly and a growing community. I am concerned about what appears to be slightly higher crime and the heat, but if you can tell me more about fire ants, criquettes, mosqitoes and entertainment.
the Real estate taxes are higher, but the housing is so affordable. Let me know your thoughts, if you have lived there, ever moved there and want back and is it dry or humid heat in the summer.
Help me figure this one out.
