There are things that are synonymous with Texas that many of us natives don't even think about most days. Until you are having a conversation with someone not from Texas and they say hey that movie Friday Night Lights was made here right? Or the famous singer Selena is from here right? You know you've had these types of conversations before and something always comes up.

Right now just by reading the title of this article, I can pop off with 3 answers off the top of my head. Austin? Houston? San Antonio? Those would be my three best guesses of the fastest-growing city in Texas, wait no, it says the United States! Are you kidding me? What an honor, considering we are in competition with cities like New York and L.A. So anyway, am I right?

Ok, let me start by saying this was 1,000% NOT by choice. We were planning a family summer vacation years ago, and genius me decided to try one of those hotel booking sites for the very first time. I was not familiar with any of them or how they worked, and I was winging it. NEVER again.

If there is 1 thing you need to know about Texans, it is that we LOVE our food. Our appreciation for the food in Texas runs deep. Why? Because we believe we have the best. Hands down. Ask any native Texan. What is one of the best things about your state? A true Texan without hesitation will answer the food.

Here we thought we had it bad with cities close by called Pecos, which some folks incorrectly pronounce Pee-cos, or Waxahachie, TX, in which case you're better off trying to pronounce Worcestershire correctly. Unusual names of cities in Texas are not far-fetched. Part of my family once lived in Boerne. I dare you to attempt that one!

Why are we like this? Why are people in general always down for a good ghost story? If seeing is believing, I have not personally seen any of these creepy urban legends with my own 2 eyes but it is safe to say that I do not want to either. I will continue to read or hear about them and pass along the stories for fun and to freak out my fellow Texans.

My pleasure will forever remind me of one of my favorite fast food places in the world, Chick Fil A. The 2 are synonymous. I could be having the worst day and if I hit up a Chick fil A, you can bet the folks that work there are going to boost my mood and lift my spirits instantly!

Fellas you might want to pay attention to what you are reading...IF YOU ARE SINGLE. If you're married and looking to mingle, go away! But all the single men looking for single ladies which city in Texas would you think or hope has the most single females in the entire state? If you live in West Texas with nothing to do, you may be looking at a big city like Dallas, or Austin to meet a lady and hav

We shouldn't but many of us have done it. You get caught in a funeral procession and immediately think to yourself, 'Omg I have to wait for this long procession dang it!' It always seems to happen when you are in the biggest rush or have somewhere to be.

I think we can all agree that Texas is home to some of the most impressive sights in the country. In San Antonio, many enjoy visiting the Riverwalk or touring The Alamo for the first time or the hundredth time, in my opinion, it never gets old. Big Bend National Park is impressive and so are the Guadalupe Mountains east of El Paso. These are all spots that I have heard folks love to visit on a reg

What is going on with this house for sale in Houston? It is different. I'm sure the original homeowners were going for something unique when they built it and they absolutely succeeded in their efforts. I mean the front door alone has me scratching my head. Is that a wall where the front entrance should be? Do I walk through it into Wonderland? Will I find Alice on the other side?

I came upon this article while mindlessly perusing the 'net as we all do on a daily basis and had to share! Since marijuana is now legal for recreational use in over 20 states, (still not in Texas), how many times has your cousin heard that you're headed to Vegas for the weekend and asked, 'oooh can you bring me back some of that good-good?'
