Gotta say, San Antonio is far and away my favorite spot so far on our road trip around Texas. Based on my day spent here, i can envision livng here. More so than Dallas, Austin and Waco (the other stops so far on our trip).

Back when I went many a year ago, I would rate it as the worst major metro in Texas, but they put a bunch of money back into the river walk since then. Also, Corpus Christi is cool, if you want to keep driving (although you have oceans at home...)!Gotta say, San Antonio is far and away my favorite spot so far on our road trip around Texas.

We did State House at Austin today. Beautiful. Walking in and seeing the sign "non-licensed gun carriers please see the attendant" made me laugh.Back when I went many a year ago, I would rate it as the worst major metro in Texas, but they put a bunch of money back into the river walk since then.

I would wager that you can probably find equally as nice areas in all those cities though (well maybe not Waco). Sure Dallas is kinda shit, but Ft Worth is cool. Downtown Austin is good if you want to get drunk/high and listen to new bands, otherwise Lake Travis area is the place to be. Houston is a fucking cluster, just go rent a Galveston beach house for cheap.
If you are talking about places to live, I would stay out of the same county that any of the major cities are in (Travis, Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar).
Dallas is deep blue with a Soros DA, so no surprise that SMU is still a mask requirement. The LBJ library at UT would probably be the same; the only reason the state house wasn't is because it's state controlled, not Austin controlled.We did State House at Austin today. Beautiful.

The vibe of the area around the capitol though reminded me of shitlib Brooklyn.
We did the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, the Tesla Giga Factory outside Austin and the riverwalk and Alamo in San Antonio.
Odd point. Went to take my wife to the Bush Presidental Library at SMU and they required fucking masks to enter. We told them to pound sand and left.
Dont have a lot of time to base it on, but we both ranked San Antonio as a place we wouldnt mind living.
Currently sitting at the airport at DAL hoping our plane gets off the grouns today. That flash flood shit overnight made flying a shitshow today.Dallas is deep blue with a Soros DA, so no surprise that SMU is still a mask requirement.

I didn't know there was even anything left to do with the Branch Davidian raid in Waco. The only thing I've heard about was the HGTV show Fixer Upper has some place you can stop at.
If you looking for something to do when coming back to DFW tomorrow (if it's not raining), the Stockyards is the touristy thing to do in Ft Worth, or the Zoo (the Dallas Zoo is supposed to be good too). In general, the difference between Dallas and Ft. Worth is night and day.
If you are going to be in DFW for another week, you could go catch a baseball game at the brand new stadium (Fri/Sat/Sun). The Rangers are doing poorly this year, so tickets should be available.
