We're outside a small village that started dying after WWII and no one has had the courage to bulldoze it. We have 3 small churches, 1 school, 1 postoffice. Everyone who lives here seems to have been born here except for a few who decided it was in commuting distance to Dallas -1 1/2 hrs. We regularly have drug busts, lots of meth labs, etc. Used to be a small farming commumity - now a few larger ranches. We choose it for its location between the medical centers of Dallas and Houston, thinking the people would be friendly like other places. Wrong. Very Clannish, very red-neck- very few collage educated, hard to find a subject to talk about if you don't talk Nascar, horses, weather or politics. We've become hermits. Closest grocery is 25 miles. This is not the rural bucolic America of our Dream Life.
