Nice to see a new visitor's perspective on San Angelo. Easy to take for granted some of the things we have when one has lived here a long time. Great vid.
It's always great to hear from locals that we have done a good job representing their towns. You certainly have a lot to see and do in San Angelo and we have continued to recommend it as a place to check off when we chat with other travelers. Thanks so much for watching and posting such a nice comment!
Thank you for highlighting my small city. It is a great place to live and to have grown up here. I came back after I completed my 20 years of service. You should come back during Christmas the Fort gets all set up and there a lot of vendors and shows.
You're welcome, I'm glad we did a good job representing your city. Good tip about coming back at Christmas time, that sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Ari
San Angelo has alot to offer and really has an amazing economic potential. It has 3 lakes, 3 rivers for recreation. An awesome riverwalk, lake nasworthy is a popular attraction especially during holidays. There is a riverstage where artists come and perform. Downtown has many shops and antique stores and a nightlife on chadbourne st. Explore! Terrain is flat and rolling hills and varies throughout the area. There is an art museum, old fort museum, murals, chicken art farm, large university ASU, air force base GAFB, a planetarium, the nature center, San angelo state park, Springfield creek Marina, plenty of beautiful parks and trails! A coliseum, city auditorium, a national pro rodeo and fair and Plenty more!

I’m from Schulenburg, TX and am looking to move. San Angelo is at the top of my list for places I’m considering. As an artist, I like that it has a thriving art scene. The river walk reminds me of places in Austin and San Antonio. Planning a weekend away in San Angelo with my dog, gonna scope out the city and see how I feel about it.
It has come a long way since Jessi's brother was training at the Air Force base 20-some years ago. What he told us to expect is not what we found! 😄 Good luck on your search for a new place to live. Thanks for watching!
I notice your Silver Lake T shirt. I just spent two weeks there and used one of your past videos when I selected my site. Good vid on Sand Angelo. Again, it makes me going to Texas at some point.
@@GodlyNix1 That's too bad to hear! It seems like there's a lot of reasons why it would be nice, but we would agree that you can't get to really know what a place might be like to live in until you've spent a lot more time there than we did. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Trekers no no it's a great place to visit dont get me wrong just ive been living here all my life im just saying it's not that good of a place to live
@@GodlyNix1 True -- always a different perspective based on time spent. What's the old saying? "It's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there." We've been to quite a few places like that in our travels! LOL
Awesome video! Great information about San Angelo. I interviewed for an Air Force Civil Service position/transfer to Goodfellow AFB, so I really hope I get it considering how nice the town is! It seems like my slower pace of life where things aren't so chaotic as in the bigger cities. I live the history and culture San Angelo has to offer, and I will definitely be trying out some local food.
We're glad you liked the video. We enjoyed the whole San Angelo area -- make sure you check out the state park, too. Good luck with getting the job you applied for. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Trekers I stumbled upon your video on accident. I live in the Santa Rita neighborhood of San Angelo, near the ASU college campus. I knew about the sheep statues, we just got a new one when a Chipotle restaurant recently opened up. But I did not know about the Telephony museum inside Ft. Concho and about the donkey rescue. I will put those on the list to visit with my grandkids. Thanks. Btw. the other lakes are Lake Nasworthy, which is great for boating and waterskiing and then there is the Twin Buttes Reservoir. I believe there are campgrounds at both lakes.
Did y’all get to check out our Christoval winery or the beautiful monk monastery in Chirstoval? They have yummy treats that they sale out here! Also, at the San Angelo State Park, did you get to check out the dinosaur tracks?!
We did not have a chance to check out any wineries, but we'll have to put some on our list for when we return to Texas next spring (spoiler alert!). Thanks for the tip! And, yes, we did check out the prehistoric tracks. We didn't really know what we were looking at most of the time though! 🙃 You can see our hiking video about the park here: th-cam.com/video/RB_jmjm8NRY/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching and commenting!
At the 3:23 time line you can see the 1st stretch limo ever produced in the world. Abraham Lincoln was scheduled to ride passed the grassy knoll in that limo later the same year he was assassinated. I guess we'll never know what might have happened there if he had lived to make that date with destiny. Ok, I made all this up. But you were going for it. lol
I was born in San Angelo and moved from there about 5-6 years ago, and I nearly cried watching this video. I miss the place so much sometimes. So much nostalgia. Great video!
Thank you, we had a good time visiting that area. If you need a place to stay, we enjoyed San Angelo State Park - although we were there in the winter and the summer would be a completely different and hotter story. Thanks for watching and commenting!
You guys just up San Angelo on my list of places to visit. I don't know if I can get my wife to take it in but she can stay in the RV, I'll go my myself. Thanks for the enlightenment guys. Keep the good stuff coming.
Paintbrush Alley is quite new, I believe it was created in 2019. The Donkey Rescue Ranch started in 2008, but I'm not sure when they started being open to visitors. -Ari
Hi, nice video about the town we moved to 7 years ago. Thank you for sharing the Water Lily exhibit. Sorry to share the sad news that Ken Landon just passed away week before last. He will definitely be missed.
We're glad you liked the video, we really enjoyed spending time in your community. That is very sad to hear about Ken Landon. He clearly was a great asset to the community and we're sure he will be missed. Thanks for letting us know.
The only water the river thru downtown gets is street runoff. The lake at head O C Fisher, stays at puddle stage. If the gates where open, no water would come out. O C Fisher has been given a award for a lake on fire before.
Be honest, we have lakes but little water. The river thru down town has NO flow. San Angelo can store a lot of water if it would rain. Water is piped 70 miles. This water will not last forever. San Angelo is looking into using waste water for drinking water. On the plus side we have a large new jail.
That's interesting about the water flow. It has been a couple of years since we've been there and we remember it seeming somewhat low in some areas on the river. Has the water level dropped/slowed down even more recently?

Have a friend starting a new job there soon. Scared to death 🙈Hopefully it is as welcoming as it seems
We hope so, too! 😏 Thanks for watching.
@@jleverem Same here. Any updates? How is the Community? Where is the preferred place to live? 👀. Haha. I'm just overly concerned.

Loved the donkey rescue ranch, how precious are they
That was cuteness overload! We barely escaped without adopting one. 😄 Thanks for watching! -Ari
I lived in San Angelo for 6 years, starting back in 2007. Loved everything about it! Thanks for bringing back fantastic memories.

Thanks, John! Obviously there is plenty to do in that area if you visit. 🤠

Yes, we discovered that when trying to do the video. Sharing just the highlights was tough. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Nice of you to visit my home town
We were very happy with what we found there! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Did you guys visit a skate park across Kirby park
@@Juryfates No, we did not so that's something we missed!
@@Trekers oh there a Memorial at that skate park for one of family friends
Trekers - You two do very good commentary...
Thanks for covering San Angelo. I'm looking for a nice place to retire.
That's so nice to hear. Thank you for watching and letting us know! Good luck as you seek out a great place to retire.

We were surprised by how much we found to do there. It's a good spot to add to your list. Thanks for watching!
it sucks but okay
We travel from Dallas all the way to San Angelo
The town does look fun, but I fell in love with the donkeys.
Those donkeys were ADORABLE! It's worth the trip out of town to see them.
Might be interesting if it is your type of thing. Boring for me but still charming. My hometown! Love hate relationship
When was paintbrush alley and the donkeys created? I’ve been away for a quite some time.
Interesting point about perspective. I'm sure we could see people do a video about our hometown and wonder if it's the same place we lived! 😀 -Ari
Paintbrush Alley is quite new, I believe it was created in 2019. The Donkey Rescue Ranch started in 2008, but I'm not sure when they started being open to visitors. -Ari
Thanks for sharing. We never considered San Angelo but will definitely put it on put list thanks to you two!
That's great to hear. Thanks for watching and commenting to let us know. Safe travels!
You should check out the
Fort Concho Museum
and it’s Haunted History’s.
Thanks for the tip -- and for watching!
My hometown
I hope we did it justice. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@Trekers yes yall did yall welcome back anytime
San angelo has great bass fishing.
Good to know. Thanks for watching and sharing that information!

It's worth a visit!
I live behind fort concho
We enjoyed the visit to your town, obviously. Thanks for watching!
After watching this series it seems it may require several visits to see all the great attractions and sites San Angelo has to offer...
It's certainly worth a long weekend in the area if you want to enjoy all the city has to offer at a reasonable pace. Thanks for watching!
You probably described it far better than I could. You both pronounce it similar to the locals.
I live in San Angelo
This is wear I live
We enjoyed visiting your town. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@Trekers no problem! Iff you go check out my channel I mean it is not as wonderful as yalls!
San Angelo is super boring - stay away if you value a real life
That wasn't our experience, but everyone has different tastes and interests. Thanks for watching!
Your boring
The government has become an Invasive species 😂
😄 We saw a funny bumper sticker recently that read, "There is no problem that cannot be made worse by the government."
I live in San Angelo
We hope we did a good job providing highlights for your town. We enjoyed our time there. Thanks for watching!
