Nice place, but.....

Texarkana has its POSITIVES: nice people, great place to raise kids, low traffic, reasonable cost of living, little crime, proximity to large cities (Little Rock, Dallas, Shreveport) lots of nice neighborhoods, good arts and culture for its size.
The NEGATIVES: horrible pay...few really good jobs, the Arkansas side is a ghetto dump.
The only good jobs/people making money are:
lawyers, doctors/nurses, "old money" people, long-established family businesses.
There are damm few "corporate" type jobs. The only openings are if someone dies or retires. If you are a white collar (and educated) professional it is very hard to find anything... and if you lose your job...well you'd better call your Real Estate agent right away and get ready to uproot your family!!! (and start checking into a house in Dallas or Houston).
