Move here if you hate yourself

I have lived in Longview for close to 10 years now. It is a miserable town. There are no SIDEWALKS or benches (or covers for that matter) at the bus stops. The parking lots are war zones of potholes, and if you drive anything less than an SUV or large truck, be prepared to scrape the bottom of your car every time you leave a parking lot. (City planners thought it was a great idea to have a "drainage ditch" where the parking lots meet the streets.) Also, there are no universities near by. One crappy community college, but it's in Kilgore and you have to pay out of district tuition. There is no nightlife as well, unless you enjoy dive bars and line dancing. One cable service provider, they have a monopoly and take advantage of it. Real estate is cheap, but there is a reason
