WACO TEXAS

[MrsFosforos]

The best part about Waco is it isn't far from Hillsboro (and a great outlet mall)!

Don't forget the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, on I-35 south of the river.

They have a really nice park along the Brazos, but last time I was there the vagrants had taken it over. Such a shame.

I was born and raised Texas Baptist, then married a Catholic girl, sent my firstborn to Catholic school. It was a real shock to go to the grade-school Halloween Carnival and find a keg of (complimentary) beer for the adults!
I almost got converted then

I think these should go in this order:

We lived in Waco during the late 90s while my husband was in college. Crime rate there is pretty bad. Bring an extra gun.

Same as anywhere else in Texas.

which surprised you more, the Keg or the Halloween?

Good point.
Going to a church to celebrate a pagan holiday and drink beer.
What's a Baptist to do?

[pbandjelly]

dance.

What I remember about Waco is that they have a "fine" and quite large Homeless population. Baylor kids even hold Sunday services under the bridge for them. (This was back when my oldest was a student.)

[pbandjelly]

Well, Waco is the 26th largest city in Texas! And, with a population of over 113,000, there's bound to be a few "less fortunate."

All I know is that they make Snicker bars in Waco, and some of the friendliest and nicest people I ever met make Snickers bars (and some other fine candy).
