I live in Schertz and we have a billboard just north of city limits that states: San Antonio 10 miles....our biggest suburb!

gotta love a Texas sense of humor too!

I am a native Texan ---- with an ancestor who died at the Alamo and another who died in the Goliad Massacre. I grew up on a blackland cotton farm in North Central Texas.

To me, the best thing about Texas are Texans themselves, particularly the farm people. The older I get, the more I am nostalgic for the "old days" before the small towns began dying as people moved from their farms to take city jobs.

Austin- great, lots of things to do. Traffic is HORRID!!! Takes up to an hour to go 10 miles during rush hour, and unfortunately, rush hour lasts 2-3 hours each. Allergies are horrible and getting worse, even for the people who have lived in this city for 25-30 years. Most people are wonderfully friendly, as long as they're not in the other car. And yes, the traffic is as bad as, if not worse than, Los Angeles.

San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas...

Love them all but HATE the traffic...... Roads were not well thought out if the places grew...
