Travel

If you're like me, you like to get in the car for a road trip to explore strange and unusual things you've never seen before. I've lived in the Lone Star State for a long time now but, there's a lot that I haven't had the pleasure of visiting...

We all complain about lousy drivers here in Victoria. Whether its drivers that are careless, drivers that speed, drivers that go too slow, there's always something to complain about. Well, according to a study by Auto Insurance.org, the Lone Star state is near the bottom of the Best Drivers in …

Texas...it's like a whole other country. Having lived here for over 20 years now, I can attest to that. We have our own sense of humor, too. I ran across this video the other day and I got a kick out of it, so I thought I'd share. It's a collection of pictures and memes that we can al…

Good news-if you thought that Victoria (or any other cities in the Crossroads) would amount to being included on a list of the 10 Worst Cities to Live in Texas, you'd be wrong.
