Whoa, stop the press. One of our cities here in East Texas has been listed as one of the '8 Best Places to Live in Texas' List, according to Travel & Leisure Magazine.

Well, you and I are seeing it every single day. Droves of people fleeing other areas around this great country of ours are flocking to our East Texas Cities. And to us, it's not necessarily surprising.

Compared to some of the other places one can choose to live the days of their lives, East Texas offers SO much in many ways. From more space to a lower cost of living, friendlier people, and the fact that we're close enough to larger cities for all that 'big city stuff,' without actually dealing with the daily stressors of that 'big city stuff' is a huge selling point.

And on top of that, we offer so much, one doesn't even need to bother with the big cities if they don't want to do so.
