Never spent much time in the panhandle, only drove through part of it when driving to Albuquerque a few times a year. San Antonio at least wasn't as chuddy as the more rural areas but it wasn't far off. I lived in Kerrville and boerne for a bit before moving into San Antonio and that sucked.

That's definitely bittersweet but pretty cool of them too. Not to romanticize it since I know it's not all fun but I do kind of envy people who are able to not be tied down to one place. Never thought I'd have kids and be living suburban dad life but I'm making the best of it and trying to be a good dad, hopefully succeeding so far. I'd definitely welcome an anarchist vegan food truck in town though
