Looks like I am moving to Texas

1st you insult Texas by putting a

2nd. You ask if we have places that have 2.5 acres +

Have you seen a map of Texas? I do not think you would be able to find 2.5 acres here.

Sorry.

Maybe you should pick Ohio..

I suspect you have that "northern ideal" of what Texas is.

 

What's your price range?

That was just a quick search for 2+ acres and a 3+ car garage. Everything's for sale here at a discount. Come on down, but lose the attitude.

 

God I love Texas. (and her Texans)

 

Yeehaw!!

 

I think you'll find that we generally are proud of our state and are very welcome to anybody coming through, or in your case coming to stay (for a while at least). Just don't go against our state

Glad you're choosing Texas, Highway 35 from Waco is usually pretty clear of "Smokey's" so a Ferrari would definitely fit right in. Beautiful hill country not too far off either. Welcome!

 

I'm a Colorado native and grew up hating Texans and everything they represent. I've now been here 20 years and I'm not leaving.

Waco probably wouldn't be my first choice of location, but there are MUCH worse places to be. It's an hour to Dallas, 45 minutes to Lake Richland Chambers. If you own livestock, TX is your kind of place.

 

There is plenty of acreage in Texas. You need to find the right realtor who deals with it and familiar with the areas. You want a barn like the one you have? We have plenty of those here. If Texas was willing to accept my Dad when he was a youngster coming from Maine, you'll easily fit in, lol. Thank God and Texas I was born here. Next, you need to work on using y'all a lot....lol....

 

Those places sound nice, I'll move up there and chase Baylor Co-eds!!

We actually have a fchatter owner in Waco, I noticed him posting after you started the other thread about "visiting"......

 

Being a "yankee" and moving from the north down to Texas I will give you the good the bad and the ugly....start with the ugly a) the weather, in the summer its just freaking HOT no other way to put it, with that said I stay inside most of the summer b) its not what I would call beautiful landscape...if your from Washington this could be a major deal...Texas has lots of highway and its flat with the expection of the occasional overpasses. The bad...again weather, every state has its thing...for you now its probabably rain, move to OH and its snow...no real 4 seasons in Texas, basically only 2. The good or great...No state income tax, the economy here is better then anywhere else. Folks are friendly, depending on where you live you maybe around of lot of transplants from IL, NY, CA are pretty popular. Texas is 3 times the size of most other states so you can go on vacation and get a change of scenery without ever leaving the state. There is a LOT of money in Texas....look around and you will find fortune 100 companies and folks with a lot of nice homes and cars.

 

We have wineries too!!!

 

You're in Dallas...try west of San Antone for some country roads you can sink your teeth into...Sfumato knows them all.....

I can show you east Texas where you'll think you're in Germany somewhere, until you stop for beer, anyway...

 

Where are you moving from?

What kind of "livestock" do you have?

 

Ahhhhh 337 and old hwy 16 towards Leaky....great switchbacks. Also Hunt, Tx too.....

 

Why don't you and your wife enter your 308 in the Texas 1000 Rally (vintagerallies.com) in November? I guarantee it will be the most fun you have had in a long time and you will go back to Washington with a much better feeling about moving to Texas.

 

Tell your wife there's nothing to be worried about if you know how to drive. There are lots of great adventures in Texas. Around Dallas, at least, so many people are moving in from other parts of the country that it's easy to meet others who are interested in making new friends.

 

They cut off at "1975"...........

 

Uh oh.......Texans can't STAND to see a woman cry.........

 

Might work, to cheer her up...........maybe..........
