I spent some time there a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember spending time in a mid size city more destitute than this one. My wife dragged me to the mall and I felt like I was in a time warp. I spotted mullets, bangs, and someone wailing away on a karaoke machine. Driving around the town reminded me of small west texas towns that built some new things in the 50s and 60s, but not much else since. The women were not near as attractive as I have found in other west texas towns (Lubbock in particular, Abilene, Amarillo). Just some thoughts, go ahead and fire away.
