After 20 years in Oregon I’m leaving the city of Portland, Oregon to move to Mcallen, Texas. Yes, the reason I moved was LCOL,any way you slice it, the cost of living is cheaper in the RGV than Oregon. But to give some background I currently have two sources of income so not like I’m only relying on a job down there. I’m also from San Diego originally but not a typical “Californian” so I’m not going try to “California your Texas” or whatever you guys say. Not here to change the local politics or whatever, i don’t give a shit about politics or frankly Texas politics. The reason I’m moving is because I’m a veteran and Texas has no property tax for veterans. So, logically it makes sense to purchase a home in Texas, I might move over to Houston but wanted to check out the RGV. I just recently got a divorce. I am a single father of 3 kids and trying to get them away from the big city life. We just got a home over on 4th street,(not sure if that’s a good area) but was told the schools are good. I don’t really have any friends or family out there but it’s cool I mostly just go to the gym and smoke hookah. I know weed is not legal yet but hey soon. I’ve lurked this sub and it seems dating is going to be a challenge, but that is alright I’m not really looking at the moment. Mostly I just want to know where people go for outdoor activities? ( I know it’s hot as shit, I’ve was stationed at Ft. Hood, and been to Iraq) I love the heat so it will take time to get acclimated but overall still want to go see shit Or what ya’ll do? Because I like to drink and eat and shit but man I’m not that old I want to go out dancing. I know I should learn Spanish because I’m Hispanic and Black but fuck it I’ll learn it there I guess so don’t glare at me when I order tacos with shitty accent.
