![เกิดใหม่ทั้งทีก็เป็นสไลม์ไปซะแล้ว ซีซั่น 3 - ตอนที่ 59 [ซับไทย]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/GmW4a8prWUQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm a native of Fort Worth, Texas. I've lived in California and Mississippi and have traveled many places. Texas beats them all. Especially the cost of living.
I’m sure Mississippi is cheaper
Mississippi is cheaper than Texas.
Maybe Mississippi but not California.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?🤔
I’m from California and this place sucks unless your rich. You have poor and rich.... middle class doesn’t exist here.
Learn a simple rule to drive in Texas .Drive slow use right lane .Drive speed limit stay in center lane .Unless your doing 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit . Stay out of the left lane
But some of those people hogging the fast lane and who force you to pass them on the right actually act like they are mad at you for passing them! Why are they surprises when someone runs up on their bumper? The fast lane is for driving FAST and staying ahead of the person behind you. If they are faster than you, get out of the fast lane. We have had folks in that fast lane chase us to catch up and then get in front of us and “brake check” us. You got to watch for angry drivers here.
Facts
FACTS
EXACTLY!!!!!
Douglas Thatcher common sense
I moved to Texas from South Dakota....Texas is the best and will never leave!!
Give it some time. I lived in Houston and it was terrible.
I regret moving to Texas.
@@christye7550 Why?
I've given it 5 years and still haven't regretted it!! Plus my son is now Texas born!! Texas pride or die!!
Christy E where did you move from? And what part of Texas did you move to?
One more, everyone in Texas doesn’t own a horse or cowboy hat.
lonnie hicks Now that’s a cap partner
I do!
Depends how far away y’all are from city folk. Country living is where it’s at! Good folk and good living.
Do not say you guys. You say y’all. You guys shows you are not from Texas
Yep that true
Some of us native Texans are watching your vids too....traffic has got so bad in the last 2 years. I believe it's because many big companies have moved to Texas, hence the reason you guys are meeting so many people who have moved here, from the West Coast. We hold the door because we are courteous. Plain and simple. We do drive like crazy people! The traffic has got worse in the last couple of years. The Metroplex has grown so much and Dallas has blended with Fort Worth.
All the things you just mentioned, we have been hearing as well. Dallas really is a booming city!! It'll be interesting to see where it is 5-10 years from now.
This is true 👆
👍🏾
Couldn’t have said it better myself Julie!
I do not like when people don’t give the Texas wave when driving and letting people cut in front, etc....that’s how I know if someone is NOT from Texas
You both compliment each other so well. Love you guys❤️
Texans just drive fast
Also don’t for get to say Yes ma’am and no sir, manners go a very long way here in Texas
It's a mix around here. I always get stuck behind people on ramps going 55 trying to merge with others going 80/90. And people tailgate (with wide open lanes next to them) like I've never seen before lol.
No Texas don't drive fast it's people from other places. I remember the good ole days. Stay Safe
i'm in texas because it's big, it's hot, it has good manners, and it's very grassy and pretty
i can't go to cali because of the bad manners
I have not heard that once since living here.
Texas just drive fast.....clearly you never been outside of Texas and is ok...
But need to take a look Florida, NY,California......
If you think Dallas is crazy go to Houston. Traffic is crazy and drivers also.
Houston is insane, that’s why I left. I added 20 years to my life here in TN.
They dont get it.. I think these 2 would fit in better in Portland, maybe Austin than they do Dallas. I wanna leave places like those.. Thats all i know.
I'm staying the fuck outta Houston traffic I live in Dallas that shits like LA you never move in Houston Traffic
@@Ty81494 Austins traffic is no joke too.. Portlands is horrible as well.
@@LongLeggedOne never been to Oregon I wouldn't know lived in Texas 70% of my life born here military family I only travel outside Texas for vacation and makes me love coming home so much better especially if they don't have just regular sweet tea like in England
When I visit my sister in Dallas... I have to close my eyes when she’s drives because I feel like I’m in a NASCAR Race!!
Lmao!
Jada Denise. Don't feel bad traffic has gotten ridiculous and I react like a crazy lady because of this traffic not only that they're texting. 🙃🙃🙃🤪🤪😂😂🙋 Stay Safe
Lol 🏆🏁
I just saw your channel and thought it was great! I moved to San Antonio in 1981 after growing up in Palo Alto, California! What a different culture!! I didn't even know what a fire ant was! I was used to a formal, Asian culture, my friends families were wealthy, reserved and quiet. Their parents would have never touched us or raised their voices...you never stared or spoke up until spoken to...then I was in San Antonio, home of the chancla wielding mama!! The minute I walked into the house, a plate of food was put in front of me, a big hug, questions about everything, giving advice, everyone talking at once, breaking into Spanish...I was completely confused! It was wonderful. I married a Texan from a settler family who had an ancestor that fought at the Alamo! I didn't know anything about it, which horrified everyone!! It was like saying I had never heard of WW2..
30 years on and more, i love it here, i became so happy with all the history and culture and languages and friendly people, it is wonderful! I would never move back to California, as beautiful as it is, just because I love this big state! Welcome!
I too am a chancla mom. Kept my kids on the straight and narrow!
It should be titled "Moving to DFW". Texas is much more than the Metroplex... and FORT WORTH IS NOT DALLAS ! Just wanted to add... Tone is so difficult in the written word. If I sounded rude, it was not my intent... Nutin' but luv to y'all...
Thank you!! Fort Worth is NOT Dallas!
What’s the difference? A gridlock mess. It isn’t different because his royal highness Jerry Jones has said it is the Home of the “Dallas” Cowboys, this you are Dallas
Yes Fort Worth is not Dallas
Thaaaank you Dallas is it’s own city county etc. ft worth is much more chill. An it’s tarrant. Texas is huuuuge Dallas is just a small piece of it.
Fort Worth is definitely NOT Dallas. However, they haven't been here all that long so I'm willing to cut them a break. From the video I can tell they live in the metro-mess and haven't gotten an opportunity to get out of town so to speak other than Waco and really the I-35 corridor isn't much different all the way to San Antonio.
I moved to Dallas when I was about your age and lived there for 30 years. I recently had to move to Houston. I miss Dallas like crazy!! Your videos give me a little “home” and I’m thoroughly enjoying watching you learn the city!! Enjoy! It’s a great place.
You forgot to mention that the state is insanely big. It’s 4 hours to Houston; 9 to El Paso. On the East coast, 4 hours is 4 states. 9 hours is another country. 😂
Have fun y’all.
Dallas is the place I want to move to. It really shows me that its the best option and the city can handle its traffic also.
In what ways is Dallas better than Houston?
Jedrick Burgos Zoning. It’s cleaner, better managed. And weather. I like the occasional snow. It rarely floods. No hurricanes. (Occasional tornados, though.) It is more expensive, but median salaries are higher. There’s way more to do. To me, it seems much safer. I love the views. Attitudes are different, more respectful....sigh...I miss Dallas.
I like that he included the door opening but its true lol
Dude, you’re talking about Dallas, Houston, and Austin! Try out visiting the rest of Texas. It’s a completely different area. And by the way, if you don’t like Texas, go back to where you were from, bless your heart.
Jan Russell fuck are u talking bout russell I’m from the H. Just enjoy the video and stfu thank you
Paradise. Yes it is true that we open doors for other people. We also say sir and ma’am. It’s called respect
Shirley Velarde yeah I know how people are in Texas very friendly except the racists I met a few sadly but I do enjoy my city and that people say good morning or say have a great day . Lol
@@paradise2806 Portlands more racist.
I agree with you on Dallas being super fast paced all of the time. It seriously stresses me out!!! I feel like the only time you have to slow down or settle down is when you are at home. Great video, love you guys. 👍❤️
Thank you so much Destiny and Mitch for sharing! I’m from WI and currently a resident in MN. I intentionally moved here after a 20 year separation of living in the same state as my immediate family. However my significant other and I are highly considering moving! Your video along with reading the comments gave me a lot of insight and inspiration too! ♥️
I’m born & raised in Texas & y’all said mostly everything right! Good video.👍🏽
Me & my husband are moving from Virginia to Texas in a few weeks! I was born and raised in VA but I’ve visited Texas 6 times. I’m super excited for our move!!
You guys are so cute together! Currently leaving MN, can't wait to get out of here. Thinking of Texas! Thanks for the informative video!
Thank you for this! My husband and I are seriously considering the dfw metroplex (specifically CityLine). And being from MI I 100% agree with the fact that driving in snow makes you a better driver!! Thanks again! :)
Thanks, guys!!
Doing my research before I make any move. Sounds really good.
I didn’t hear anything too bad. Glad to hear it and welcome to texas y’all. ❤️ we love ya
I just moved to Dallas 7 months ago from Michigan and I LOVE IT HERE !!! Everything you guys said is true only thing is I wish I had saw this video sooner 🥰 great job you two you nailed it !!!
Hi, how's I still going? I'm looking to love to Texas. Which part do not flood?
@@Thenewlife83 me too!! I'm trying to relocate there within 6 months, PRAYING for you and pray for me as well both trying to TRANSITION to greater 😗
You guys hit it spot on. My husband and I moved from Oklahoma to Dallas a couple of years ago. We love it here though. It definitely takes some adjusting.
Destiny is absolutely the cutest! Welcome you two to Texas embrace it and it will embrace you.
I loved your video. I live in California and I’ve been from here my whole life. But recently, I have had multiple friends that have left California to go to Texas to live. I know that Texas is a special place to take some of my best friends from me. I know that it has a lot to offer people. It’s bittersweet losing my friends to Texas, but seeing your video, assures me that I think they will be great in Texas too.
Dallas resident here 🙋♀️ and these are all FACTS!
Thanks for the video. Stay well. Stay safe, and have a wonderful life.
Thanks! Fellow Minnesotan preparing to move to TX here. All good things to know!
I’m Texas born and bred been here all my life. I always hold the door for everyone and I remember onetime a lady didn’t say thank you. I don’t think she was from Texas!
Welcome to Texas y'all. I'm a Texas native. The hospitality is real that's just who we are as Texans we take pride in our state 🙂
This is so accurate I live in Minneapolis and I want to move to Dallas! Everything that you describe is what I'm looking for, thank you for this video.
I really enjoyed the video, and although I have no plans to move to Texas, I nevertheless found it very informative. Now, what I enjoyed most about your presentation, was you, you guys are a real joy to watch, you have such wonderful body language. I particularly liked the way you relate to each other, and the viewer; this was a pleasurable viewer experience. This video has markedly improved my opinion of Texas, which until now, had merely been a collection stereotypes, and memes, we, people in California normally apply to Texas.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Just want to let you know that recently I have been prompted to pray for you. You are so real and nice. Have the sweetest “Valentine day” tomorrow ❤️❤️🌈🌈🌹Love you Destiny and Mitch🌻
Awww actually tearing up right now!! Thank you so much 💕 you guys have no idea how much of a light all of y'all have been in our lives 😭
I moved to Houston from Minnesota last July and I can say that you guys pretty much nailed it lol..I do miss the beauty of MN and all the nature, but at the same time I feel blessed to be here in TX and I love it here....Welcome to TX my fellow Minnesotans!
Welcome to Houston, Texas. I live in Katy , West of Houston. I also lived in Forth Worth and Dallas, Tx and I see Houston with more opportunities
Minneapolis is a terrible place now. Its blue too and it might as well be an extension of Chicago. Those protests too.. The police. I dont wanna be anywhere like that anymore.
Oh the Replacements are a good thing to come out of there though lol.
June Bug So Houston and it’s suburbs are better than Dallas and it’s suburbs in your opinion?
@@donjuan914 That dont sound right to me. I dont think thei're better at all but some might think so.
You guys are absolutely right about Dallas Texas ! I’ve been here 50 yrs and I agree 100% with what u say!
Great video guys. Wife & I are moving to the Austin area in 2 months. You guys look great together. May God continue to bless you both, and best of luck on all of your endeavors.
I live in Houston TX and the traffic is a mess I avoid the freeway as much as possible thank God for Mitch quick thinking to avoid that accident glad you'll are ok hope and pray that everyone in the comments have a bless evening🙏🙏
Get out. I did last year and it was the BEST decision for me ever.
I’m moving from Philadelphia to Dallas for my first job out of college and this video made me feel a lot less nervous❤️❤️
yes queen, we're gonna flip texas blue!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Dallas girl! Don’t feel nervous.
It will be culture shock for you but you’re welcomed!
Ken M Im no. Dont move from your blue states because they suck and move to TX and turn it blue. Are you god forsaken stupid?
@Z Houston, San Antonio and Austin have a better job market than Dallas....just fyi.
@@timfarmer648 Lmao! I love my Texas people 😂😂😂😂😂
I love you're list of Texas experiences. We live in Colorado Springs and have been to Texas a few time, most recently to by Ram. Thank you for preparing us for our next trip will be in the winter in our camper to escape the cold.
This definitely helped me. I plan on moving to Dallas soon! P.S. y’all are adorable 😍 God bless
🙏🙏
Don't. I heard Atlanta is better. Go there.
Most of my friends who have moved to Dallas have told me the job market is VERY hot there. Atlanta has kind of gone down...trash, crowded, crime, high real estate, etc. Dallas is a better choice every day of the week.
Born and bred in Texas ... and I find it fun to see newcomers’ reactions to the Lone Star State, it’s people, and state of mind. The one thing I do have to say, I road trip a lot and have been to 42 states so far, so I can tell you that there are a lot of similarities, as well as differences. One thing I’m told from newcomers to Texas is: I heard, before coming, that Texans were supposed to be so friendly, and though some are, a lot are not ... my response: did you ask the not so friendly if they were native Texans? 🤔 The only thing native Texans request is that people moving to our state respect our state, and not try to change us to what you came from ... we will not, so if you like the way things were in your state, then feel free to go back 😁 otherwise, give our way of life a true try, and welcome 💗 (P.S. just about anywhere outside of Dallas looks upon that city as the red-headed step child of our state - and this coming from a redhead 😝, so don’t judge all of Texas by one city, we are a diversified state. Thanks)
Korpian no, not everyone ... I didn’t for most of my life, though raised around them and taught how to handle one in my teens. It wasn’t until recently I wanted one, just in case 🤷♀️ but I’d say probably 2/3s have at least one, whether it’s a hand gun, rifle, or shotgun.
Korpian no, not unless they’re being threatened ... I realize there are assholes out there who have no respect for human lives, but most of us raised around guns have a healthy respect for both the guns and human lives
Country people are the nicest Texans and always are well mannered. I was born in Houston and was brought up using manners and being polite to everyone.
Very well said!
Aww explains all the cowboy haters
I’m thinking of moving to Texas from New Jersey thank you for sharing your experience with us. Girl you’re in love we can see it in your 👀 that great.
Same here
I feel the love from here 💕 🥲 yall are just beautiful energy
Wow that’s a real nice considerate thing you two are doing!!
I work off of Old Denton and Dickerson! I still get excited about the Asian dedicated businesses! And yes especially the church!!!! Love it!!!! Great video and welcome to Dallas!!!
what church this is y i wanna move here everyone talks about god
That sounds awesome! Are there any African American dedicated businesses and/or affluent African American communities? My family and I are looking to move to Texas in the very near future.
Thank God you made it out safely from the near accident near Waco.
We would love to send some appreciation money YOUR way each month!! Let us know how!!! Keep the love going and keep appreciating each other. Bless you both
Just found your video, going through you tube and I'am subscribing RIGHT NOW! Cause you guys interact well on camera and it was fun watching you guys , it was not boring at all to watch. Love the tips even though I will not be moving to Dallas any time soon, Instead moving to San Antonio from Tampa, Florida. But it was fun getting another perspective from someone like your selves that have relocated and have some feedback.
On November 26, 2019, I moved back to Dallas after 40 years in CA. Soooo happy to be back home!!! And yes, Dallas is moving 24/7. And yes, if you're going 80 on the freeway, somebody will be passing you soon. 635 is like LA's 405. Love me some Dallas!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱
I just stumbled onto y'alls Channel tonight. It's AWESOME!!! For the Record, I grew up around Jupiter Road and Northwest Highway... You guys should try Keller's Hamburgers on Garland Road. Also on Northwest Highway at Abrams. It's all Dallas.
We moved to Fort Worth from Minneapolis 2 years ago. We love it. Fort Worth is way quieter than Dallas. People opening doors surprised me too. Alot of speed racers on the road here. I love Chic Fil A too! Hardly had it when in Minnesota. Yes there are tons of restraunts here. 50% of Texans eat out every week. Lol! I'm so relating to your video. My first week in Forth Worth I meet 3 California's that moved within the last 3 years. The driving here is crazy 😳. The apartments and houses are much better than Minnesota, they are bigger more modern and more affordable.
Thank you for the video!
I’m from Texas and while eating chick fila watching this video lol
This was very helpful. I'm going to be moving there in another year. I subscribed. You both are great and informative. Thank you both.
So happy to watch this. I'm from northern Iowa and moving to Texas in a few months
2020 Texas = 1970 California.
So sad...Cali used to be the place to be...now everyone is leaving...so sad what the Dems have done to Cali
Remember to vote RED! To keep Texas a good place to live!!
1970 California was when Reagan was the governor
@@a.f5388 I will be shining red laser beams of patriotism when I arrive, don't worry 😁😁😁
I love that that’s what we are after
We are so proud to be TEXANS.....GOD BLESS TEXAS!
DONT FORGET WHATABURGER!!!
Whataburger is definitely better than In-N-Out
Glad I found this I’m from Minnesota and moving to Houston at the end of August
Why? Did you move down there?
Thank you for sharing this! We’re also from MN and plan to move to Wylie next year😊
We moved from WV to TX two years ago and this is soooo accurate. :)
The big thing that got me is how much Texas loves Texas. I'm from Missouri, where it is what it is- we don't really have a state "identity", per se. It is kinda endearing, and rarely turns into an ego thing unless a native is joking around about it.
Also- A coke is any soda.
They call shopping carts buggies.
I moved to Dallas 10 years ago and you are spot on about the driving speeds lol
Thank you!!! Sweet as I'm moving to Texas but I'm avoiding Dallas and moving out in that country🤔 but you helped me feel more at ease 😎 glad you are okay and made it without getting hurt in that situation 🚗🚕🚗
Thanks for not being to harsh on Dallas. Yes we are very friendly and courteous here.(That is what sets us apart from New York.)
I love that y'all talked about the drivers... I have the opposite experience! Everyone here in Dallas knows how to drive compared to Florida XD
Omg dude I can’t stand the way us Floridians drive
Thanks for heads up you too I know me and the mrs gonna love it there
I love your video's please keep them coming.
Welcome to Texas ya’ll!! Ft Worth, TX native😀
Me too I was born in Dallas tho
It's the cost of living and yes we do have lots of transplants from the east coast and West coast. Most people move to Texas because they want home ownership. You just have to get used to it here because we are large and really diverse. Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas
Yvette Garrett if only Texas had a lot more snow I’d move there, but it’s not a diverse climate
Awesome video! Texas is HUGE. Thanks for sharing.
Love this for you guys 🥰😍 very informative thanks 🙏🏾
Enjoyed your video. Welcome to Texas. It sounds like you've still got a lot to see and experience. I'm a native Texas. I'm 66 and I tried to leave after I graduated from UT but something kept pulling me back. Here's some other Texas things to check out. Our extreme weather is July & August. You'll need a pool or lake plus an AC. Y'all probably figured that out. We are very proud of our BBQ and chili. Texas BBQ is a different cooking style than anywhere else. Look for the places with the longest lines out front. In Texas, there are NO beans in chili. If there's beans, it's stew. Go to a high school football game in the fall. Any high school. The hill country in the fall is beautiful. Try to find a music festival. If we ever get to have one again.Local music is excellent most of the time. Austin is great for live music, but it's crowded and bad traffic like DFW. The Gulf coast is great.Try the Sandfest in Port Aransas in April. And finally, take that butt-numbing 10 hour drive to Big Bend in the spring or fall. It make for good memories. Be open, honest and kind and you'll be alright. Oh yeah, work "y'all" into your vocabulary.
Brent Winn thank you, my brother and kids moved to Sherman.
nice, so they shut dwn the music festival?? i hrd they didnt hv many lockdwns in texas?
I’m from WI, currently a resident in MN. My family and I are HIGHLY considering moving to Texas! I can’t wait to visit. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and highlights of Texas!
I was born in Houston, but when I was 11 I moved to St. Louis so most of my life I was in suburbs in Missouri and Illinois. Now I am back here. In one area not right in the city. Just like there it is sooo big. I can attest to everything you said. Exactly the same here. I will add that these cowboys on the road in their pick up trucks are the craziest. And watch out for the 18 wheelers. Just because they have huge blind spots.
My boyfriend is from Texas, next month we are most likely going down there to visit his family (it’ll be my first time being in TX)!! My bf always talks about the food down there and how diverse it is, as Mitch stated. I’m excited! Love you guys and your videos! ❤️
Aww thank you Kaylani 🧡 you're gonna have a good time for sure!! Let us know how you like it when you get back 😊
I'm moving to Texas this summer from Louisiana. We are so excited!!
Texas is its own country. When we visited Italy, if we said we were from United States, they were not impressed. When we said we were from Texas, they were Wow and engaged in conversation. So we learned quickly to say we were from Texas! That’s how amazing it is here! Native Houstonian... Spring/Woodlands. We grow out not up.
From an Italian girl here in Italy we see Texas as hell, guns, racist, not feminist and homophobic people, not a great thought of your country
Hey im from spring/woodlands area too.
......its own country.....?!....
No offense but re read history 101..
Between mex-Tex revolution...
Then...pls re edit your comment
And im not from TX, I'm not Mexican...and I know more than you know...or you just contradict your self living in you litter world
lucky bambooForest754 you do realize that statement was rhetorical right?
@@outdoorsnaturengod9276 you have to be from Texas to know why it's like its own country 😆
I moved to Abilene, Tx from New Jersey. I've NEVER gone back. Texas is the best.
im in san angelo
Thinking of moving there myself from Miami (former new Yorker ) but have my Doubts , looking to move for the last time and retire, Florida got to expensive and the is always hot (nothing’s changes out here ) Miami Beach is overrated lol (should I do it ?)
Just don't choose South Texas, I live in the Rio Grande Valley moved from California.
They have beautiful places
up North, around Fredericksburg, New Braunfels if you like country life. Many people have moved to
DFW and other places around there, personally after living in San Jose don't want to live in a big metropolis. I'm not moving I like hot weather. Good luck
@@lolitatex8788 Remember why you left liberal California. Keep Texas Texas.
Nursing jobs located in Abilene but is there any racial issues? Noticed some online, just scared of "small town negatives". Help!
I live in the Highland Village area, I have lived in Texas most of my life so it is fun to hear about things that I have never noticed before.
This helps me so much I’ve been so excited for a move to Denton from California. But i have some reasonable doubts and I was born and raised in CA and can’t take it out here anymore. Love y’all’s vibe!!
There's nothin in Denton..
I’ve lived in Dallas all my life. Fort Worth is a city to itself. It’s crazy
Lol your so right I live in ft worth and we just chilling😂❤️
Dawn Bogar You’re exactly right lol.. been here all my life.. ft worth chillin 😂
I live In Colorado & will be moving to Texas here soon . Lol , yes it’s beautiful here with the mountains, hikes etc ... but I need a break from this snow ❄️ and cold weather during winter I need some sunnnnnn for awhile that’s why we Colorado folk want to move !!!!!
I'm born and raised in Texas and I was totally 😂😂😂 when y'all were talking about our driving!
Haha can definitely relate to a lot of your points, especially how the rain; it seems like theres accidents all the time here whenever there is rain. People here are not adequately prepared to drive in adverse weather conditions. I moved here to Dallas back in July '18 from Arizona and I definitely have mixed feelings. The positives would definitely be the incredible diversity where you can try all sorts of foods, the low cost of living, and the vibrant nightlife especially downtown Dallas (Deep Ellum is like heaven for a mid 20s hipster wannabe like myself). The constant traffic is annoying even on weekends which was a shock to me. Anyways, I am a big fan of your blog and hope you guys enjoy Dallas!
Those are great points!! There will always be positives & negatives wherever you move to be honest lol
you for got to mention that we shut Texas down with just the thought of snow
What snow? LOL
@@mitchellcole832 lol it's soooo funny reading this today since right now there's a snow storm and over 2 million people without power.
“Shut down“ is a relative term. It’s too dangerous to drive to work. It’s OK to drive to go shopping or to eat out.
Damn... doesnt work like that here in Canada
I never knew people didn't open the door for you all the time until I went out of state lmao everyone is so much friendlier in Texas. Love my home
I'm a native New Yorker now living in the south, and I have always held the door open for people behind me, male or female. Didn't realize I was so unique.
The way your do the video is so much fun to watch I enjoy it
Yaaay so glad you enjoyed it 💚
Great info guys, I had planed on moving to Texas years ago, but I thought I could never deal with the traffic, but, now I have several friends there and I have traveled there a lot, and I'm ready to move there, prayerfully this summer....the is a festival in April called the Main Street Festival, in fortworth, that I have visited frequently, it's an Art Festival, that is worth visiting....
The festival sounds like fun - we love downtown Fort Worth! We pray that you'll be able to make the big move ☺️ good luck!
Welcome to Texas. I was surprised you didn't mention Belt Line Rd since you live in Dallas. Epic! Ask a native north Texan.
People from small towns in Texas have the same experiences as y’all do going to the big cities of Texas. And by the way, Houston traffic is far worse than DFW! Oh and and stay away from Austin between 3 PM - 7 PM! Especially on I-35!
Yup, small town Texas is a whole 'nother country. Highly recommended.
Moved to Dallas from Houston 8 months ago and the traffic here in Dallas is horrible all weekend because the suburbs between Dallas and Ft. Worth are huge. Traffic in Houstons seems worst because everyone basically drive in to Houston from suburbs to work. I miss Houston because it's more laid back where here everything is fast pace.
Oh my ... yall are so funny without trying to be... always the best kind of funny.
That's cool your here & enjoying life here, but dont forget were keeping it Texas for the things your enjoying. Keep Texas, Texas!!!!!!!
Welcome to Texas. Just never forget what motivated you to come and be part of the greatest Republic in the USA.
I lived in Texas my whole life, west Texas and Dallas. My husband and I loved to Colorado to experience some real winter and live close to the magnificent mountains three years ago. We loved it, I adored the snow.. but it was hella expensive with all the taxes and fees for everything that is also based on tax ($1300 car registration?!), but also because the housing prices are unreal and we can get so much more house and land for our money in Texas. And.. Colorado was pretty isolating. I personally missed a lot of my close friends and family in Texas and though I met some great people in Colorado, none of them were from there. I really became aware of the term “native” in Colorado because the people who grew up there will let you know that and over time it gets really annoying. Native Coloradans don’t seem to want new residents around and that’s not my vibe so we peaced out and came back to Dallas.
I wouldnt move to Colorado. It has the same people and prices now that it seems Portland has. Another hell im trying to move out of.
Long Legged One can’t move away from perception
What city did you live in in co? I’m from Texas and have thought of moving to co for mountains and weather but I also love Texas because it has so much to offer
Im from colorado but moved to texas 6 yrs ago were opposites xd
Lived in Orlando for several years.
Dallas, Houston, Austin have traffic.
No one drives fast in Orlando because it too congested.
Used to sit at traffic lights and couldn’t go on green because no where to go.
In Waco now and loving it.
And really close to the biggies and ocean.
Perfect.
Thanks for sharing gives some insight!
Wait until you see how most people handle ice/snow in DFW. Now that is scary!
Rain and snow in Texas mean speed up😄
Speaking of traffic, I was visiting Texas and I learned never travel early in the morning around 3-4 am. Everyone drives like they have to be at work the next second. I pulled over
on the side of the road and watched the parade.
Hahaha this is SO true!! It's probably cause there's no one else on the road, but it's still dangerous 🙄
So True!!! Every morning!!!
I live in Houston and travel a lot back to Arkansas. Houston is like Nascar at 3 AM. People will literally race here and they don't give a dang about cops. lol
I'm from Philadelphia and I want to move to Texas sooooooo bad. Literally been talking about it for the last 3 year! 42 degrees being cold is a blessing in comparison!
Next month i will be moving to San Antonio, and while i currently live in North Dakota this helped me gain a little bit of insight! thank you
Hope you enjoy The river city
I was raised and born here in Texas in Fort Worth but On #5 Yess we love ❤️ Chick-fil-A but we Mostly love Whataburger especially after a football game I mean y’all can disagree but I have never met a Texan who didn’t love whataburger or who chooses chick-fil-A over whataburger
I just love to hear you talking
Point, you up left people up make believe in their self God be with you always thanks xoxo L.P.P n.c
Immerse yourself in the culture. You can go square dancing, horse riding, hay rides, pick strawberries, pumpkins, apples at a farm, lots of museums downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, go to cultural festivals, and as you said try all kinds of foods!
I just subbed too btw! I think you two would love Washington or Oregon during the spring or summer time if you haven’t been yet. I’m going to miss those two seasons living in The PNW for sure. Sold our house a few days ago and will be in Dallas, Texas by the end of the month. I’m nervous and excited at the same time. Coming from a more chill + slow very blue state to a “zero fks” face place like Texas is going to be interesting but all of my family are over there. The wifey is tired of the gloominess and the rain and I would like the kids to grow up with their cousins. So true as well that there is so much to do down there, I just gotta get used to the drivers. I’m pretty cautious and know how to drive in crap conditions because it rains literally 70% of the year in Washington and we get some pretty icy roads in February for a few days or so. Love your guys’ vibe, keep the great content coming.
