Brownsville, TX
I lived in Brownsville 19 years -
2/10/2008It was a terrible place to live. Everyone I knew did drugs-smart people, dumb people, rich people, etc. Most people have at least one relative that is in prison because of this horrible problem in our city.
You MUST speak Spanish or will be ostracized. I knew Spanish so I didn't have to go through that whole ordeal.
Businesses are not run like American Businesses are. Brownsville is Mexico. Expect serious corruption in the schools, Police dept, lawyers, and the list goes on.
All of the schools have a high drop out rate, low test scores, and under qualified teachers. The average 18 year old makes a 820 on the SAT and about 10% go to college.
