The place I was born
-
12/9/2005
I was born and spent some of my childhood here. We moved to New Mexico later on. My memory may be a bit vague of this place but I'll give it a shot.
Things I remember: It stank horribly. If it's not the oil refineries and drilling it's the tire factory. Everytime I drive past an oil refinery the stench reminds me of Odessa. Lot's of wildlife. It's hot. Not many friendly people, in fact they're the meanest in the country.
My mother said that Odessa was once the murder capitol of the country but I never noticed. I remember that the neighborhoods were actually pretty nice.
I'm mixed on whether or not that Odessa was a good experience.
