A spacious, spread out city with sidewalks downtown. The residential areas have spacious yards and it is true, almost no sidewalks. It is a city where everyone drives a car and walks in malls or the health clubs. Longview is proud to be the home of LeTourneau University. A top scientific school with Christian values. Spring and fall are wonderful with lush trees, lawns, and flowers. Winters are mild with snow maybe 2 to 7 days a year. Summers are hot in mid day, but outside work and athletics continue enthusiasticly. The local community theater group has regular performances. A ten minute drive to Kilgore College theater and concert activities offers wide variety of entertainment. Local clubs have occasional balls or dances. Local nitespots include disco, latin and the prevailent county bands. I have lived in the area for 30 years and have the resources to live anywhere I want. I have tried other cities, large and small, but always return to this area. And P.S. I have never heard of "Redneck Games". I am aware of four golf courses, the soccer fields and several football stadiums within a ten mile radius. I have never been accosted, mugged, snatched, or attacked, nor do I know anyone who has. The only crime that I have witnessed is observing some parents smoking in a car with kids. Tyler, a sister city, is almost an identical twin.
