Its part of South Texas needs to be added to this Network!

No reason that you cannot post here on the S. Texas forum. Laredo is certainly in south Texas. Brownsville, Harlingen, Kingsville, Santa Rosa are the South Texas towns that are listed so if you go strictly by that, it leaves Hidalgo and Starr county out too! :-)

My wife and I will be moving to Laredo soon. What should we know about the town? Places to go, places to stay away from, where to eat, what to do??

Mt niece's husband got bored with his job and just finsihed "boot camp" in New Mexico to become a Border Patrol guy. He was assigned to Laredo...she is going to remain in McAllen and they will see each other on weekends.

My wife and I did this for a few months with me contracting with the Air Force at Lawton OK and wife living in SA with the kids. Very UNSATISACTORY!

It is interesting how different that Laredo is than the lower valley.

In that Laredo is a lot worse?

Not necessarily worse, just different. It just has a different history than the lower valley does. For one thing, I find the people in Laredo to be much more courteous! At least they have been to me.

Laredoans are superior to Valley Trolls in every single way.

Laredo is a nice town. As previously posted very friendly people. If your coming to visit,stay at La Posada Hotel, downtown villa-like hotel overlooking Mexico. In my opinion it is probably the best protected bordertown on the Mexican border, just to let u know its very safe to leave here and raise a family.. The best restaurants include La Mexicana,Salsas,Tokyo Garden and the famous Tacp Palenque. Great schools,fun shopping and Hunters paradise.

That's sounds good, especially the hunter's paradise part.

Is there public land for hunting, or a lot of land available for lease?

I'd throw the Tack Room (steakhouse at La Posada) and Palenque Grill (out off Bob Bullock) in the list as well.

On a side note, the strip club Xoticas in Laredo is surprisingly not that bad. Ya know, if that's your thing.

Don't forget Paulita's for breakfast tacos! I'm not sure what to tell you Yellowpot. Doesn't sound like you have a choice! What industry are you in?

Oh and unless you know someone, hunting prospects don't look good. You can lease but it'll likely be pricey.

Damn, just looked up Paulita's. May have to know a tad more Spanish than I know to head down there.

Be sure to join the local chapter of the Cool Arrow club down in Laredo. Just ask folks if they are a Cool Arrow and they will let you know. It is a great club, with great benefits, lots of members in Laredo.

I have never heard of it,but doesnt mean its not true. I know of one person who does indeed collect Arrowheads and helps him relax while enjoying the ranch.

I agree Laredo is nothing like the valley. Hope you enjoy your stay. Its just like any other town. You make the most of it.

All the ranches are private so if you want to hunt you will either have to know somebody or get on a lease. The going rate is about $11/acre. You can always go fishing to nearby Falcon Lake. The fishing there is world class. Just stat on the American side.
There is a new baseball team which just started up so that should be pretty interesting. Brand spanking new ballpark. There was hockey for 10 years but looks like they just shut it down. Also arena football team in their first year.

This to much to type an iPhone. I'm out.

so my brother tells me he is invited to a wedding on the outskirts of Laredo. the family owns 4 beer dist. in dirty SA, laredo, and 2 in the valley. The home is under armed guard. He said it resembled something from a novel.

Good Luck!!!
