Having spent extended time working around Graham, Breckenridge and Bowie, I can tell you that there's not much there. None of them have much outdoor recreation potential or job potential. In fact they're fairly depressed little towns.

I've noticed they are almost all in far west Texas. Too bad Fredericksburg ain't on the list...

No question on that list. Canyon Texas. Randall County has given the Republican nominee for President no less than 74% of their vote since 1952. One of the most conservative counties in the entire US.

I would not live in Borger for any reason. Haven't been to Pampa in years, but it is kinda dirty from what I remember. Childress can be dusty. Perryton is small. I don't know if they have a Walmart even. Canyon is about 10 miles soth of me, also small, college town.
You'll be in the center of most in Amarillo, Randall county part of the city. The weather will be similar for all of them. Hot and dryand windy, or cold and windy with possible accumulations of snow. It' October and the temps were in the 90's yesterday with wind, 70's today and very nice. Seriously, Borger is an ugly, smelly town. Edit for some spelling. |

Lago Vista.....mucho dinero in that area.
Why is it that the most wealthy are the most liberal? You would think that they grasp the concept of reward for hard work. I just dont understand it, it is completely backwards of all logic. You would think the more poor an area is, the more they would want freebees, the more they make, the less they want to give away hard earned $. None of this makes any sort of sense.

I'd cross Breckenridge off your list.
Abilene here, so B'wood or Graham on your list. If you are a summer lake kinda guy, both have good lakes (Possum kingdom at Graham) Plenty of hunting both places too. Not much to do if you don't like the outdoors. Or Walmart. |

Quoted: Still pondering where to move when I leave Austin. Decided to do a little research to find the most conservative city or town in Texas. The cities with the highest percentage of voters who voted republican in 2012 were crowned the most conservative cities in the state, in order: Perryton Pampa Borger Seminole Brownwood Graham Breckenridge Bowie Childress Canyon If you’re wondering, Lago Vista is the most liberal city in Texas of all those measured. Seem right to you? (small pun intended) link to story I'm planning my exit from TX in the next 15 years. I believe TX will be a democrat controlled state in that time period. I hope I'm wrong, and I can stay, but I wont live in a gun ban state. |

I am at a loss on where this place may be. |

Where do you plan on going? You realize Texas is more Republican (based on 2012 elections) than any other time in history, so that would an incredible flip in less than 15 years. |

A footnote saying how the republicans could have won very easy but decided to let the sand in their ass hurt to much and screwed it up. As to not thinking the state can go blue is a dangerous thing as too many people are assuming Texas will always be red. We have to many people in this state now that believe people like cankles and don't understand they are being made fun off by the democrats and used to gain power. |

Pampa, Borger, and Canyon were all in my district when I grew up and played sports. I would not want to live in any of the three I mean who wants to be a Harvester, Bulldog, or an Eagle come up with something original like a Demon for your H.S. mascot.
I have had family friends in Graham/Throckmorton (they run a bank) and Breckenridge since I was born. Both places I think of fondly for various reasons. I have only driven through Childress, just watch out for the law in Estelinne they will get you every time for speeding. Seminole and Brownwood are not my cup of tea, I have aunts that live in both. I have never been to Bowie, got nothing to add. Perryton, this holds a special place in my heart as well as Edmonson (not listed). My maternal grandparents are buried in Perryton and fraternal in Edmonson. If I had a choice I would move to Perryton, lots of good folks in that area and they have a place that makes some really nice 1911's. |

Perryton, Pampa, and Borger are crap holes. Perryton is especially a shitty place to live. At least they finally voted out the dry county BS. The nearest walmart is in Liberal, KS(45 miles. The other closest walmarts are in Borger and Pampa(60 miles). Everyone from the city council, county commissioners, DA, and Judges are corrupt. If you couldn't tell before, I wouldn't mind if the whole town burned down.

I think they got the message. Still not a place to fuck around but not as bad as a few years ago. |
