    Default Texas

    Your Welcome. We finally got our own thread!

    So I pose the first question.

    What is your favorite Texas city?

    For me its San Antonio

    Mods Can we pin this?

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Agreed.

    I know nothing about Texas, apart from that it has you in it, but I always picked the Spurs (or the miami heat) in NBA live 2004 (latest NBA game I've played)

    Aww yeah.

    No, but it should be.

    Toss-up between SA and Houston for me. SFTS makes a great case, but one of my best RL friends is a Houstonite. I guess the entire state just rules.

    Yes, San Antonio would be my favorite too. At least of the large cities.

    My favorite region of Texas is the Hill Country.

    Anyone else?

    Huston lacks the personality and hospitality that you will find in San Antonio, at least that is what I think.

    I think San Antonio, but I do love Corpus Christi too and Austin is a great party spot.

    The only time I have ever been to Texas was when I was just a youngin' and we visited my great uncle Morris. He lived in Orange, Texas and worked in a shipyard. Not sure where that is, but I believe it's East Texas. which probably don't count as True Texas for yew West Texas folks....

    But I'm enjoying San Antonio while I'm here. This city is AWSOME. We might have to go drinking some time SFTS ;)
    El Paso is like San Antonio but with less history and more drug cartels. It is beautifual out there though.

    And yes we deffintley should meet up. How much longer do you think you'll be in SA?

    And now we may procede to talk about anything TEXAS.

    Welcome back, Yoyoma

    Where SFTS is, is my favourite Texan city. Even if he would be outside Texas, his mere presence in a city makes that whole city Texan and, by definition, my favourite Texan city.
