Moving back to West Texas after living in New York was a bit of a culture shock. It was difficult at first, but I managed to slow down my pace of life to enjoy my time at home. It was a nice reminder of why I loved growing up in a small town. Each place is charming in its own way.
West Texas:
- Headlining news stories include how "one local man thinks the US census is invasive"
- Everyone drives everywhere, even .25 miles to my sister's house
- Organic? What's that?
- Recycling? Are you a Liberal?
- Weekend entertainment includes my nephews' ball games and sometimes this
- Sex offender registry map has a few red dots on the other side of the railroad tracks
- Gossiping neighbors
- Skyscraper:
New York City
- Headlining news stories include the numerous murders that occurred that day, to the point where I had a daily count as they were reported
- Everyone walks everywhere
- Organic? There's a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods in every neighborhood
- Recycling? Every apartment complex has the bins
- Weekend entertainment includes this, this, and sometimes this
- Sex offender registry map is solidly covered by red dots
- Naked creepy neighbors, remember here?
- Skyscrapers:
