I’ve been in central Texas for three years from the northeast. The best way I’ve found to work around it is to treat it inversely - the summer is really your winter. Try and get out and about the most you can in the “cold” months and concede that you can’t do shit in the summer.

I hate a lot about our culture but Northerners are so fucking rude that i can't move up there even though they have better weather and politics (not that their version of white rich liberalism helps anyone but still). Went there on a trip and was shook by the attitude everyone gives you right off the rip no matter how friendly you are. Everyone has something up their ass there, it gave me anxiety to interact with anyone because they default to treating you like the plague. I still want to move though, this place is too hot and I want abortions and weed damnit. Picrel is how we're all gonna feel in a month kek

HARD agree. I moved away from Texas to the northwest and people here are autisticly mean. Just no care for anyone around them. I miss Southern politeness so much. I know some people up here think it's disingenuous but it makes such a difference in making the community feel welcoming as corny as it sounds. The MAGAtards up here are significantly more bothersome and cringe than the MAGAtards from Texas it's strange. I think maybe it has to do with the conservatives up here having a more libertarian edge but I'm not sure how to describe it.

Nothing to be sorry for when all this man does is jerk off about the border. Part of me hopes that he gets picked up for national politics just so he can lose his state-level authority and we don’t hear from him for a while.

I want to say you’re talking about AG Paxton. Before turning this thread into a political circle jerk, watching his trial last summer made me lose faith in either side of the isle when it comes to state level politics. I kind of hope we get Cruz out in November.

fingers crossed that we boot Cruz out in November too, nona. Regardless of where nonas stand politically, I wish people would understand that he left our state to fend for ourselves and went on vacation to Cancun when we had that devastating freeze a few years ago. Millions of people were left without housing, thousands died. That's not what a "leader" does in government. I think the problem is that most of our politicians sit around collecting money on behalf of their big pharmaceutical big NRA sponsors and don't actually care about a single one of their constituents, including the conservatives. They're making big money off nothing and people's misery and they routinely embarrass us on a national scale. I don't want to politically jerk it too much more but it's like nobody cares in the majority of southern states about women, and that's my biggest gripe living down here and why I want to get out. I don't hate southern politeness, I love the food, I've lived here all my life, it is "cheap" I suppose, but living in a place where the moids in government hate me hurts (oh and the weather is hell). I have a very conflicted relationship between pride and distaste in my identity as a southerner / southwesterner kek

Lifelong Floridian and I hate how everyone who is not from here mentions the weather. I hate the weather here - balls hot, terrible thunderstorms, hurricanes. We used to have nice winters but now it’s just stupid hot most of the time. There are things I enjoy about Florida (the food is amazing, tons of things to do, year-round swimming), but it’s getting harder to live here every year.

Same nonna as above. I also forgot to mention how immigrants are everywhere here - I’m not fundamentally against them but a lot of the men are drunks. There’s high levels of domestic violence in the population. They can’t drive because they come from countries without much driver training or laws and cause accidents. My insurance is ridiculously high even though my car is old and I have a clean record, just because of where I live.

Trump lives not far from me and his cult is all over the place. You see a ton of cars with QAnon decals and stickers and the cultists hold demonstrations on street corners. They fly those retarded flags off of PVC poles, stuff like “TRUMP/JFK, JR” and “Let’s Go, Brandon!” They stand in front of his plane and fap in front of it. He invited them to Mar a Lago for breakfast once and they still cream themselves over it. I hope the mansion is sold out from under him so he will finally fucking leave.

lol, no. He rarely leaves his mansion when he’s here. He only goes out to play golf. I don’t even think he goes to any local restaurants. He lives on whatever his private chef prepares for him. In order to see him, you need to be a member of his club, which costs around $250k. He will sometimes crash weddings, too, if they are held at the club. It’s always crawling with Republicans now, though, since they all try to kiss his ass.

Ghislaine Maxwell used to procure girls for Jeffrey Epstein at the local high schools. All the girls, as far as I know, were white and attractive but came from poorer families. Some of them worked at Mar a Lago, too. There are a lot of billionaires around here, so probably a lot of sex trafficking. There are grown women here who go to certain restaurants and bars strictly to try to bag a rich man. A family member is one, married a polo player for husband #3. They live in a different world than me, essentially. Casey Anthony also lives in the area - she likes dating cops and got into a bar fight a few years back. I haven’t heard about her in a while, so she may have moved on.

Sorry to derail the thread. This is all very Florida trash. There are so many nice people here, but too many crazies. I miss the Florida I grew up in, but I think it’s gone forever now. I’d get a fortune for my place, but where else would I go?

I am definitely not even close to rich. I just happen to live close to rich people. The island people like Trump and Epstein live a very sequestered life with their own restaurants, spas, shops, and golf courses. Even Epstein lived in a “new money” area of the island, away from the historic areas with the generationally wealthy. They fly on their private planes directly into the airport or sail into the marina on their yachts, then are driven directly to their mansions without associating with us peons. Florida has traditionally been a playground for the rich, especially New York rich.

Louisiana nonna here but I lived in Houston for four years during uni, the public transport was great but I never used it because once when I was trying to bus back to my apartment with a load of groceries the bus ate my dimes as pennies and refused to let me on. I walked/biked around everyday but never felt unsafe but I wasn't stupid about it, only walked during the day or with freinds at night, always carried my gun since my father insisted I get one. Never had to use it. Probably would have been illegal anyway since I didn't have a concealed carry permit and it was a Louisiana gun not a Texas one.

Lived in a big northern city for about ten years and moved to Austin in 2021. Your experience is going to vary based on living now and what your expectations are. I visited something like 5 times before deciding to make the move, both during high volume times (SXSW, ACL) and more calm shit (Thanksgiving).

There's no museums or anything that I liked about where I left (DFW is good for that, from visits I've had there), but I am closer to my "chosen family" of friends which is important to me. Austin is pretty fucking white, and I think lacks a lot of the stuff I was used to like solid public transport. Can't speak to Dallas, Houston or San Antonio but you definitely need a car in Austin.

I like being close to Hill Country for hiking and camping, but still have some city amenities like a large number of concert venues and shows that'll come through down. It's nice being the same distance from Houston and DFW.

I had a panic attack the first time I came here for an extended period of time (~2 weeks) for a "try out" to see how I liked it when I couldn't find my rental car in an HEB+ parking lot. It took about a year to acclimate.

The gun stuff is a little jarring at first but you get used to it. My COL is a fraction of what it was from where I came from, even though Austin is "expensive". I got to keep my job with the NE-based company I work for, and kept my NE salary with no adjustments. The tax differential makes my pay feel insanely better.

tl;dr
The four main cities are all very different
Figure out your priorities and pick the city that aligns with them the most
Consider renting an AirBNB or staying with friends for a week or two and see how you like it

Good luck. Sage for length.

I live in San Antonio and it's been growing so fast these past few years. If you don't have a car, thr public transit experience is pretty miserable because everything is so spread out. The weather is unbearably hot for a third of the year. People are mostly friendly, but the homeless population is starting to get out of hand. Great food, it's very easy to gain weight here because of the food and the culture of sharing it. There are more things to do than a smaller city, but not as much as Austin or Dallas.

My personal ranking of the places I've lived here-
Houston > San Antonio >>>> Dallas >>>>> the suburbs of any of the cities, it's all pretty homogeneous and boring
All have the problem of the huge busy roads. You have to get on the freeway to get anywhere (in Houston it's a common joke that everything is 30 minutes away) and multiple friends I've had come visit were genuinely too scared to drive on our freeways kek. If I wasn't lucky enough to live in walking distance of work and a grocery store I'd go insane but that's definitely not the norm here, 99% of people need a car.
Delicious food can be found anywhere from big cities to bumfuck nowhere, but food and harvest festivals is about all the small towns have going for them. imo rural texas is boring. Gorgeous nature though! If you get a chance to visit again check out Big Bend National Park, it's beautiful.
I have an embarrassing amount of Texas pride tbh. It's not perfect, especially politically… and the weather can be a bitch. but I love living here. Also I only realized recently but isn't it kind of insane that the public school curriculum here has 2 full years of Texas history classes, are there any other states that do that?

I love San Antonio so much, I constantly wish I could move back but job opportunities where I live right now are too strong. Tons of beautiful historic architecture (alamo is overrated though kek) and parks everywhere. The food is top notch too.

Could benefit from visiting the state park once I've got enough $$$ and drive to do it. Thanks for the recs anon

Any anons who are considering visiting Dallas, it's expensive but it might be worth checking out the handful of art museums. The core museum collection at the DMA is free to view with tons of different types of art, there's always an add on special exhibit/s if you want to see them, and it's a nice way to waste a few hours. I could've sworn the other museums cost money but if you can afford it's worth it. there's an Asian art museum, there's a sculpture museum, and there's also some museums up in Fort Worth if you want to make the trip. Dallas also has good food and a diverse selection of it. Other than that it's kinda meh, people can be stuffy and holier than thou than other Texans around North Texas

Going to Mexico for dentistry or any surgery really is nuts. I live on the border and have family on both sides and have heard constant horror stories. Infection control doesn’t seem up to modern standards in a lot of facilities and if you can’t afford dental work it’s a safer bet to go to a dental school or one associated with a federally certified health center.

I wouldn’t go there for medical care unless I had no other options but I absolutely take advantage of low cost medications. My insurance won’t cover Retin A/tretinoin so my dad brings me some when he comes back from work trips.

Sweet tea is generally too sweet for my taste and if I’m going to have that much sugar I’d rather have it in the form of candy lol.

I found a blue zippered tote bag of food in front of my door one morning this week. I have no idea what’s it’s from or who put it there. It contained jalapeños, tomatoes, citrus fruit, and apples, everything was in its own bag in the tote too, like groceries straight from the store. Was I misdelivered some sort of meals on wheels produce drop off??? I feel bad someone doesn’t have their food if so. Asking here because I’m in the south and I haven’t lived here long so maybe someone has seen this and knows what it is. I live in a small city and have plenty of close neighboring houses but I dont talk to them much and its past the point I’d be getting “welcome to the neighborhood” stuff (plus some of it was moldy so it wasn’t a present, just bad groceries)

Our candy really is quite bad. Most good chocolate is foreign. Our very processed trashy sweets and food can be uniquely nice, but I think it's a bit of an acquired taste and one that you should not make an effort to acquire.

Actually good things:
Albanese brand gummy bears
Dr. Pepper or Root Beer float with Blue Bell Homemade vanilla ice cream. Blue Bell isn't top tier (for the price it's good), but it crystalizes in a nice way when added to soda.
organic knockoffs of trashy sweets. Health food versions of shitty treats can actually be much better than the originals, though a lot of brands are complete misses. I LOVE organic vegan hostess cupcake ripoffs, and I quite like organic chocolate covered malt balls as well. There's some brand they sell at whole foods that is even better than Maltesers.
Also seconding other anon's recommendation of dairy queen blizzards. We do have a pretty good ice cream scene generally, so be sure to also check out some local shops.
Promised Land brand whole chocolate milk. There might be better local brands, but Promised Land is hands-down the best widely available brand.
Various s'mores candies (Fanny May S'mores snacks mix from Costco is good)
Canned coffee (I like high brew double espresso and capuccino)
Trendy desserts. Most cities will have frozen yogurt, gourmet donuts, boba, and probably lots of other stupid bullshit. Some of these places are really good.

Texas is such a despair pit. They want $70 for a state parks pass when the state parks are tiny and ugly and mostly paved. That's as much as a national parks pass, which gets you into places like fucking Yellowstone. What a great deal. They will seriously brag about a park having "12 miles of trails!" That's just a liesurely afternoon walk if you're not morbidly obese. Even after you spend the $70 you have to make a reservation months in advance if you want to actually visit a park and experience the majesty of a filthy dammed creek and 6-10 trees covered in hatchet scars. If you're lucky you might hear a bird, but you'll mostly just hear shitty music played from shitty bluetooth speakers. You're guaranteed to see wildlife on the drive in, but only because Texans deliberately swerve to run over turtles and armadillos with their useless trucks. Of course you could always go to a park in town for free instead, and look at half starved ducks desperately searching for something to eat in a pond full of blue dye and beer cans. Spend an hour circling it 500 times like a caged animal! Exhilarating! There is a deep mud trench along the perimeter of the grass patch near my building just from me walking around in it every day for the last year. It's too small for a relaxing walk. How the fuck do people live their whole lives shut up in little boxes like this? It's already making me want to die.

I live in Alabama and I moved here from California so I've been at both extremes. I will say Alabama stays really green all year and that's been pleasant. The groceries are pretty bad in my area like the produce is always starting to turn and the meat is old. It is fairly cheap to rent and there's things to do if you don't mind traveling a little bit. I wouldn't say it's worth moving here unless you have a good reason (like work). There's some nice hiking trails. I don't know what the people in Mobile are like but in my town they're like extraordinarily rude compared to anywhere I've ever been except upper New York.

Can Delaware and West Virginia be really considered part of the South? Pratctically they are an extension of New Jersey and Ohio

Austin? Be prepared for allergies, terrible public transportation, bad drivers, insane heat especially during August, annoying transplants/tourists at local places, insane restaurant prices for mid foods, not as diverse as it appears, power going out, terrible parking lots

If you have roots there it will be easier to connect with people over shared history. No doubt whatever property your grandfather bought would be beautiful. But the strides the state has made over the past few decades have stalled out, and seems Landry wants to drag them back to the very 40s your family escaped. I did love living in New Orleans but the city is sinking, literally. Shitty infrastructure statewide. Still one of my top 5 most gorgeous states. I'd say you'd be fortunate to have property there, with caution about flood insurance/property values after storms. But I wouldn't live there again unless they elect a Dem governor and I had a very good job. Hard to enjoy it there if you're broke or don't drink imo.

I'm a south anon, born n raised, who is now a PNW anon ten years strong. The one time I went back for a few months I had a hard time with the lack of open spaces, places to drive out to and get away, and physically active friends compared to CA/OR/WA.

the Pine Barrens, the area of the Deleware River water shed and everything else outside of the in New Jersey are culturally southern and have a distinct accent similar to maryland, deleware, and virginia. Most of Ohio outside of Cleveland is an extension of West Virginia which is undoubtedly southern moreseo than NoVa. I'd even say Upstate New York is southern bc its an extension of Pennsylvania and everything outside of Filthadelphia and Shitsburgh is similar to both West Virginia and Virginia.

imo, the south = former confederacy. I’ll never understand any other definition of it. southern identity was dramatically influenced by the confederacy and its defeat during the civil war. there are other regional cultures, like the mid-atlantic region, which may encompass part of the south, but delaware and west virginia were both union states. I’ve never seen anyone irl claim them as southern. a lot of southerners don’t even consider virginia the “truth south” (which I personally disagree with) because of perceived cultural differences, but it was literally the capital of the confederacy. I’m not saying this to glorify the confederacy btw, just a historyfag interested in how the civil war shaped american identity

nyart but no, pine barrens and south jersey are not considered 'southern'. literally grew up there and absolutely no one treats it like 'the south'. Upstate New York is also not the south. Just because a place is rural or has more of a country feel does not make it 'southern'.

Y’all need to be below the bible belt to be southern. Upstate new york is not southern. Do not confuse Northern country culture with the south. I say this living in NC.

Remove Missouri and the Arizona and New Mexico bits and that's a proper southern map. No, West Virginians, you aren't the American south, you're just Appalachian. Virginia barely acts south but I'll give them the pass only because of the confederacy shit.

OP's pic including WV, MD, and DE is fucking wild.

yeah I also think the southern portions of arizona and new mexico are different from the south. the southwest is culturally and geopolitically distinct, and that strip of land had just been seized from mexico, so it was hardly integrated into the u.s. at the time. I won’t comment on missouri because I’ve never been there and it’s arguably the crossroads between the midwest and south, kinda like how virginia is now a crossroads between the south and the mid-atlantic

Who else has no accent and is sad about it? I know there are negative stereotypes associated with country accents from non-southerners (e.g. being dumb or a racist redneck) but I think they're sooo lovely, and when people with accents sing they're beautiful and so full of personality. Everyday I get jealouser and jealouser of women with country accents.

Yeah, I love southern accents. No one in my city has one unless they just moved from the more rural parts of the state. I feel like regional accents are dying out, which I find a little sad

Remove Missouri, Kentucky, and bits of New Meixco and Arizona, then you get the proper map. Same as>>2085798 said, I'll give Virginia a pass b/c of the confederacy, but they barely act Southeast. I also agree with them on the fact they put Maryland and Delaware in the map lol. West Virginia and Kentucky are Appalachian and Appalachian ≠ Southeast

Has anybody ever tried yaupon tea. It grows all over the place in the south. I just tried some roasted yaupon i harvested and it is surprisingly good. I'll be drinking this instead of green tea. Plus its free, just collect it at the park or from your neighbor's yard.
