Living in Quitman, TX
We have met the very best people you could hope to find since we retired to here from New Mexico. So many times at first I was asked if we had started attending church services somewhere.
I have found the people to be most hospitable, caring and church going people. The folks here help one another without waiting to be asked.
The crime here is mostly of a minor nature. However there have been killings and violent assaults. But isn't that a part of the human condition we would all like to think will happen someplace else.
It is mostly drugs, liquor and thefts are what we read about in our local weekly Wood County Monitor.
The fishing is outstanding here in the lakes and ponds. Hunting is most fruitful. Now, if you hear somebody talking about "Wild Hog Sausage and or Donkey Basket Ball", you know your in the East Texas Piney Wood country.
Look folks, this is as good a place to retire or raise a family as your are likely to find this side of the "2ND Coming". The real-estate is priced right and the cost of living is reasonable. Your attitude can make or break your expectations, think positive and you will find yourself welcomed as a neighbor.
