Where should I move?
entry by Noah Vale
8/2/2004 2:33 AM

If anyone reads my journal, I would appreciate any you may have on the following matter:

My school has it set up to where we do our 1st 2 years in Amarillo, and then our last 2 years in either Amarillo, Lubbock, or Dallas. Amarillo for another 2 years is out of the question, not because I hate it here, but because I need to see something new. So my choices are Dallas and Lubbock. It's a tough decision and come this Sept.-Oct. I've got to decide.

Here's the pros and cons of each city:

Lubbock:
* My bro (and his friends, who are sorta my friends)lives there. (I consider this a good thing BTW)
* It's a college town.
* Hardly any traffic
* I would have a free gym to work out at with a rock wall
* It's a little closer to home (Houston)
* I don't know anyone besides my brother and his friends
* People are friendlier in Lubbock than they are in Dallas
* Still sorta close to the mountains and skiing
* Seems like lot's to explore UE wise
* Cheap rent
* Still close to Amarillo, where I've made a few great friends
* I like exploring in cities without UE "scenes"
* Not a "centralized" location (see Dallas)
* School is in "nice" part of town

Dallas:
* My friend and exploring buddy Dirtbag lives there
* Lotsa traffic
* I would have to pay for gym membership
* Dallas is close to important major cities to me (Austin, OKC, FW, Houston, and Nashville)
* Rent is alot more expensive
* My school is in South Dallas, which according to those I've talked to is a pretty rough area of town
* It's a major city...ie, it is more diverse
* Definitely a ton to explore UE wise

I dunno, I need some help making this decision, so if anyone has any input, I'd be delighted to hear it.

	hmm, on a personal note, I'd rather not have you living in me, I've got a enough bad shit there, so move to Lubbock

	I'd say Vancouver. errr, since you didn't put that on the list... Lubbock.

	I'd say go with Lubbock, it sounds like a much nicer place, and having met you I'm sure it won't be long until your making all sortsa new friends wherever you go. So it's probably not that big a con. And a free gym with climbing wall is wicked sweet!

	Lubbock sounds good, with the money you save on rent and gym fees you can travel more (or just get drunk a lot )

	Saw the title of this thread and figured I'd suggest a number of UE-rich places around the country or around the world. But, alas, if all your choices are in Texas, I really don't have any input.
	I want to be different. But I want to be different just like everybody else, because if I really were different, everybody would think I was crazy and weird. Iowa is Minnesota's bitch. There's an art to pooping.

	So, did you ever decide? I don't really have any input on Lubbock or Amarillo but as for Dallas, all I can say is you can come down and explore places in my area more easily.

	Oh well. At least you're a little closer. One of these days we need to meet half way in Abilene and look for the numerous missile silos. I know of at least 12 Atlas sites all within a few miles of that city. Not sure of any of their conditions though.
