Not Much Here

Edinburg and the whole Rio Grande Valley is a very unique place, but mostly not in a good way. There are so many illegal immigrants here that often I am not sure if this is Southern Texas or Northern Mexico. A lot of property crime and the people are not very friendly. You will find terrible service at most stores with some employees not even speaking English. The summers are hot, of course, like the rest of Texas, but they last six or seven months. You will get basically no rain except for the occassion hurricane. You will also find that you are a good four hour drive from any major city. No college sports to speak of. The only people who seem to like it here are the ones who were born here and have lived here all their lives. I guess they just don't know any better!
