Questions Possibly Related to Arlington, KentuckyProvided By Y! Answers
louisville kentucky + arlington texas?
Question:
who lives in louisville or arlington? if youve visited both which do you like better
Answer:
I visited Arlington, TX in 2001. So I've only been there once.
I didn't visit Louisville, KY very much until I moved there at age 18. I lived there for 8 1/2 months, and still visit 2-4 times a week for a host of reasons.
That said, I STILL like Arlington better. I think Texas is friendlier, cleaner, and has more open-minded people than Kentucky. Arlington is certainly all of those things, more so than Louisville, anyway. (I've had friends and acquaintances who have lived in the Arlington-Ft. Worth area who have indicated that the people there were so nice and that Kentuckians are aloof, snobby, and closed-minded.)
Arlington might not have much in and of itself, but just think: there is a plethora of things to see, do, taste, and partake in Fort Worth and Dallas. It's not called the Metroplex for nothing.
Louisville is full of wonderful historic sites and its people have great pride in the city. However, the majority of L'ville natives I've met have been not just aloof, but snooty to those from "the outside" such as myself. I'll graduate from college there next year, but I plan on leaving Kentucky. If I stay in KY, it will be in L'ville ONLY because the most arts, cultural, and economic opportunties in the state are there.
Where am I moving to? The greatest state, Texas! Maybe not Arlington, but it is still a nice city!

I live in Kentucky, hate it, but love Texas & want to move there! Should I, and why? Where are the best areas?
Question:
I've been to Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington, Mesquite, Crawford, Belton, Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, Houston, Galveston...yall probably don't want to know all the places. At any rate, I've been all over Texas, and loved it all (except Dallas). Many people I met were VERY friendly, and at the least polite and courteous. It is a very clean & scenic state, and each major city has a unique social and cultural element to it. (For instance, Ft. Worth is more western and midwestern, Austin is more funky and eclectic, and San Antonio is more western and Tex-Mex.)
I've done some research. The crime rate is not lower there than it is in KY. But, there is no state income tax in TX, and housing costs, utilities, and property taxes are for the most part cheaper in TX. Also in TX, schools and colleges have a pretty good rap, and the climate is warm or hot year-round.
Where in Texas should I move to or avoid? Why? Thanks!
I live b/t Louisville & Lexington (both very unfriendly!)
Top 5 list of things I'm looking for:
1. Friendliness
2. Job market
3. Cost of living
4. Cleanliness
5. Natural beauty and attractions
Answer:
Forget Texas; move to California.

Texas or Kentucky? Why?
Question:
Which of these states do you prefer, and list your reasons.
I prefer TEXAS!!! Is it because I'm from here? Partially. But, look at what's great about us! 57 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here, more than any state, including the #1 F500, ExxonMobil. Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio are all thriving, successful, amazing cities, each with their own characters and personalities. Dallas/Ft. Worth can boast that it has suburbs (i.e. Arlington, Grand Prairie, Plano, Denton) larger than many American cities! We can fly our flag the same height as the American flag. We used to be a republic. We have incredible people, with warmth and great stories, and PRIDE! God Bless Texas!
Kentucky: I used to live there. For a state with little economic and educational progress, even in the cities, the people are very snooty, mean, and closed to the outside world. Many have never left the state and have no desire to. The state has little to offer. It's yucky!
Answer:
Ummm...are you serious? TEXAS! World-class cities (Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas), diverse people, ocean, mountains, hills, lakes, plains, desert and any other terrain you can think of. Great schools, colleges and a very educated work force.
Kentucky...well...I don't know anything about Kentucky, but it's one of those states I forget about...kinda like Iowa or North Dakota.

Texas, Georgia, or Kentucky? Why?
Question:
The particular cities I'm interested in are:
A. Texas: Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Arlington
B. Georgia: Atlanta, Gainesville, Athens
That said, which state would you recommend in terms of the following: people (friendliness, warmth, ease of making friends,) weather, geographic beauty, job market, cost of living, singles scene, and other factors you want to throw in.
I like both places very well. But, I'm leaning strongly toward Houston, primarily b/c it appears to have the cheapest cost of living of any of the mentioned cities, the friendliest people in my experience, the most arts and cultural opps, and the best job market. It may not have the prettiest surroundings, but I don't like where I live now (Kentucky, which is very pretty.)
So, your take and why, please. Thanks for any help in advance.
Answer:
I live in Houston,TX we have the lowest cost of living and the best schools. I live in the Katy area which is outside of Houston. The community's are great we have great churches and shopping centers and we have great jobs .the only downfall is our traffic and the hot humid summers, but other than that I love where I live. I've been here since 1981 when I was 6 years old . My father moved us back here after he retired from the Air Force. I however like my husbands home town of Memphis ,Tn its small and nice but the cost of living is high and there isn't' that many jobs there except for the major companies like the IRS or FEDEX.

Hey Texans: I love Texas and am considering moving there. What do I need to know before I move?
Question:
I'm looking into the following places:
D/FW Metroplex (with the exception of Dallas County. I really like Fort Worth and Arlington, in particular.)
Austin
San Antonio
Galveston
I'm a nice, polite, educated young man from Kentucky looking to set my foot in the job market. I understand Texas has a booming economy, with lots of jobs, a great climate in which to be an entrepreneur, and no state income tax. Of what little I've experienced of Texas, they are the friendliest people I've ever met, much more so than Kentucky; maybe I'm naive, but I guess I'd understand more once I moved there.
What is so great about these cities? Would I be as well off to live in the city or its suburbs? Some other important factors I'm considering are crime, cost of living, overall quality of life, traffic, culture, and proximity to good healthcare. If you have another Texas city besides one I mentioned, bring it on, all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks ya'll!
Oh, and I'm also single. I'd like a city that is "single-friendly," if you will.
Answer:
Yo Chandler--we have always had a special place in our state's heart for Kentucky--If you think this remember the Alamo thing is a hype--many will always remember that it was our brothers from Kentucky and Tennessee that threw in with our guys to make this state to begin with.....you're gonna love it here...from the rolling plains of northern Texas to the hill country to the woodlands of eastern counties and the rugged badlands of the extreme western counties and to top it all off the "Third Coast" of the Gulf regions---beaches a-plenty-----For your consideration I'd like to throw Austin in the ring-- not the biggest Texas town by some bit but unbelievable quality of life there--you mentioned "single friendly"--Good Lord never made a better envoirnment for the single folks---the economy is diverse there with a strong emphasis on the high tech markets--but literally every type of business is available--world class air service connects you to the rest of the world ...parks...lakes and then there's the University of Texas--finer women never set foot in any place on earth--Now understand I love my state and all the cities mentioned have got their own special flare but Austin is just simply the primiere event--You will find that alot of people have chosen to life at the edges of Austin --but the core of this city is still a rock solid place to live--and then there's 6th street--all I'm going to say here is ---you will not believe it--standing in the middle of it--you won't believe it---every weekend--the largest block party in the world---A brief time back while living there--I would go to 6th on certain nights mainly for the dozens of clubs there with live music--several times--as casual as some dude just happening by --people like the late Stevie Ray Vaughn would just walk in--say hello--plug in and jam for 2 hours---I'm telling you once again--you won't believe it----So--whatever your choice get yourself on down here dude there's a cold one on the bar for you a couple of Texas foxes are prepping for the chase and the welcome mat is out---------Ya'll Come

Coming to Dallas, Fort Worth, or Arlington...?
Question:
...from rural Kentucky.
The people I've met from TEXAS have been, by and large, very helpful and friendly, and that's the primary reason I'd be moving to Texas (because I'm the same way!) I'm intelligent, responsible, and college-educated. I'm also looking for a reasonable cost of living (not breaking the bank to pay for an apartment), low crime, a great singles life, and access to arts and culture.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Answer:
Keller provides good housing bang for the buck, with good schools and low crime. However, it is also a family atmosphere, not much singles action. If you want a more rural setting, I think NE Tarrant county - Keller, Colleyville, Southlake, etc still has some good value. I live in a subdivision on 1 acre all brick home, built in 1984 of about 2,500 feet w/ about 60 oak trees. The amount of home I got for the $ is hard to beat anywhere close to a city.
However, if you are willing to make with a smaller place, I agree SW FW, off of Camp Bowie or so would be the best bet. Camp Bowie is an old section of town (cobblestone street in places) that has a lot of singles, cultural activities, and good restaurants nearby, while being 5-10 minutes from downtown FW.

I want to pursue my MBA and Law (JD) degrees in Texas. Which place would be best for me?
Question:
Texas Tech, SMU, Baylor, UT-Austin, Houston, and St. Mary's-San Antonio have both MBA and JD degrees. Texas Wesleyan has a JD program. Rice, Texas A&M, UT-Arlington, UT-Dallas, UT-San Antonio, and North Texas, to name a few, all have MBA programs.
My top pick is UT-Austin and St. Mary's; UT, because of the prestige of the school and the funky, weird, yet friendly environment of Austin, and St. Mary's because of it's small size and location in San Antonio. I also like Fort Worth (where TWU is) and Galveston (close to UH and Rice,) and I think Houston and Dallas would be interesting. (Of course, I was mostly raised in a small town in Kentucky, but I have lived in cities before, so it wouldn't be such a huge culture shock.) Baylor, as well as Waco, do not appeal to me; Baylor strikes me as being self-important and more arrogant than the other schools, and Waco isn't the best town in the world.
If you are from Texas (live there now or have ever lived there,) chime in! Thanks!
By Houston and Dallas, I mean the cities, even though there is UH (with both MBA and JD programs) and the University of Dallas (with an MBA program.) Lubbock, I've heard, is a neat town too, even though it's way out in the Texas prairie.
Answer:
Of all the schools you mentioned, a degree from UT-Austin will carry the most weight around the country, especially on the JD side of things. In addition, Austin is a great place to live, and is full of great companies that can hire people right out of school. That would be my pick.

Answer:
What they will do is to point at the one conservative that messes up and say it all is equal, versus looking at the quantitative numbers and then do an analysis.
so 1 = that entire list.
Talk about fuzzy math.

Age 21, male, single, conservative-libertarian: Which of these cities are right for me?
Question:
I will have my B.A. very soon and I'm very interested in working in the federal government, as there are many job openings becoming available due to baby boomers retiring.
I currently live in Kentucky, near Louisville, and have a slight accent, just enough to charm the out-of-state ladies but I've never had anybody call me a "hick." I want to leave Kentucky and travel, and as a federal employee and a single man, I might well have the ability to do that.
I have a nice personality, not in a rush to find my Mrs. Right (very "un-Kentucky," since 99.4% of my peers are already married or engaged,) and laid-back. I want to be around genuinely nice and chill people. I like segments of ideas from Joe Lieberman, Neal Boortz, and Rush Limbaugh, so I'm a conservative but not fringe.
Which of these cities I'm considering are right for me?
Seattle-Tacoma
Portland, OR
Austin
Fort Worth-Arlington
Houston
Atlanta
Charlotte
Greenville/Upstate SC
All serious input greatly appreciated!
Answer:
It really doesn't matter where you live. Its the quality of people you meet that makes you like where you are. Texas is great haven't lived outside of Texas and we are genuinely good people.

Answer:
There is really no right answer to this question. Its different for every person. Personally, I am a 21 year old female in Phoenix Arizona. If I had to pick a city/state from your list, I would go for Washington/Oregon area or Texas...Stay out of the hood. Good luck!

where should mlb expand (3 AL, 3 NL 1east, 1 central, 1 west)?
Question:
East- portland, maine -montreal, quebec, canada -louisvlle, kentucky -newark, new jersey- charlotte, north carolina -hamptons -jacksonville, florida -montgomery, alabama -puerto rico- nashville, tennessee -memphis, tennessee -arlington, virginia-columbus, ohio- buffalo, new york -hartford, conneticut-
orlando, florida- richmond, virginia- oklahoma city, oklahoma
West- las vegas, nevada -new orleans, louisiana -portland, oregon -vancouver, bc, canada -san antonio, texas- el paso, texas- albequerque, new mexico- boise, idaho -salt lake city, utah -calgary, alberta, canada -tuscon, arizona -omaha, nebraska -wichita, kansas -honuloulu, hawaii-riverside, california -austin, texas
Answer:
In the east it would be hard to say about Montreal (maybe getting back an "Expo" name?). Louisville would be cool (Call them the "Sluggers"). Personally I'd look at Memphis if any would be picked out of that line followed maybe by either Jacksonville or Charlotte.
In the west it would be interesting to see a team up in Calgary so that would be my first choice followed perhaps by San Antonio. I couldn't see Boise getting one, Omaha has enough trouble getting anyone to go to AAA ballgames while Wichita I'd think would be too close to KC.

mlb expansion, 2 plz?
Question:
East- portland, maine -montreal, quebec, canada -louisvlle, kentucky -newark, new jersey- charlotte, north carolina -hamptons -jacksonville, florida -montgomery, alabama -puerto rico- nashville, tennessee -memphis, tennessee -arlington, virginia-columbus, ohio- buffalo, new york -hartford, conneticut-
orlando, florida- richmond, virginia- oklahoma city, oklahoma

Answer:
maybe in twenty years they will add 2 more teams to the American league to make it a even 16 teams each but i would no hold my breath on that.
most likely cities to get a team would be either Charlotte or OKC out of the "east", but it would be cool if they added San Juan. For the west, which you have way better chance to add teams it would be Las Vegas, NO, Portland, San Antonio or SLC.
So out of my 8 cities I would say Charlotte or Las Vegas have the greatest chance of getting a team with San Antonio and SLC not to far behind.
But out of those i think Las Vegas will have a team by 2015 most likely the Marlins if they don't get a new stadium.

T e x a s...?
Question:
What is it like to live there? Which part do you live in or have you lived in? How do like to live there, even in comparison to other states or countries in which you have lived?
I went to Texas one time in 2001 and fell in love with it so much! I ate corn nuggets in Lone Star in east Texas, went to a rodeo in Mesquite, a ballgame in Arlington, church in Crawford, a Wal-Mart in Belton, the park in Austin, the Riverwalk in San Antonio, a secluded beach in Galveston. NOT TO BORE YOU (lol), but I wanted to see a tourist-oriented as well as a less "touristy" side of Texas, and I liked all that I saw. The state is very beautiful, the cleanest place I've ever been to, some of the friendliest folks I've ever met.
I missed it in '01, and still miss it today. I live in Kentucky but have a "Misplaced Texan" bumper sticker on my car. I've always been a friendly and polite guy, by the way.
Chip in, por favor. Gracias, ya'll!
Answer:
I like it just fine. I am originally from NORTH CAROLINA but, I got out of the army here, at FT. HOOD and, have been here ever since (1981). I live in NOLANVILLE between, FT. HOOD and, BELTON. it's great for Me because, even though it gets almost, unbearably hot in the summer (AUGUST, is the worse), We have very mild winters. also, I love to fish and, camp and, live within a few miles of two lakes and, three rivers. the cost of living isn't bad at all when, compared to the rest of the state. I have also, lived in HOUSTON but, didn't care for that, at all. never did care much for big cities. come on back sometime. We will hold a cold SHINER BLONDE, for You.

Texas or Georgia?
Question:
The particular cities I'm interested in are:
Texas: Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Arlington
Georgia: Atlanta, Gainesville, Athens
That said, which state would you recommend in terms of the following: people (friendliness, warmth, ease of making friends,) weather, geographic beauty, job market, cost of living, singles scene, and other factors you want to throw in.
I like both places very well. But, I'm leaning toward Houston, primarily b/c it appears to have the cheapest cost of living of any of the mentioned cities, the friendliest people in my experience, the most arts and cultural opps, and the best job market. It may not have the prettiest surroundings, but I don't like where I live now (Kentucky, which is very pretty.)
So, your take and why, please. Thanks for any help in advance.
Answer:
Texas.

Texas or Kentucky? Why?
Question:
Which of these states do you prefer, and list your reasons.
I prefer TEXAS!!! Is it because I'm from here? Partially. But, look at what's great about us! 57 Fortune 500 companies headquartered here, more than any state, including the #1 F500, ExxonMobil. Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio are all thriving, successful, amazing cities, each with their own characters and personalities. Dallas/Ft. Worth can boast that it has suburbs (i.e. Arlington, Grand Prairie, Plano, Denton) larger than many American cities! We can fly our flag the same height as the American flag. We used to be a republic. We have incredible people, with warmth and great stories, and PRIDE! God Bless Texas!
Kentucky: I used to live there. For a state with little economic and educational progress, even in the cities, the people are very snooty, mean, and closed to the outside world. Many have never left the state and have no desire to. The state has little to offer. It's yucky!
Answer:
Texas because i used to live there

Texas, Georgia, or Kentucky? Why?
Question:
The particular cities I'm interested in are:
A. Texas: Houston, Galveston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Arlington
B. Georgia: Atlanta, Gainesville, Athens
That said, which state would you recommend in terms of the following: people (friendliness, warmth, ease of making friends,) weather, geographic beauty, job market, cost of living, singles scene, and other factors you want to throw in.
I like Tex. and Ga. very well. Kentucky, where I live, sucks and Louisville and N. Ky. are the only non-God-forsaken areas of the state.
I'd really like to move to Houston, primarily b/c it appears to have the cheapest cost of living of any of the mentioned cities, the friendliest people in my experience, the most arts and cultural opps, and the best job market. It may not have the prettiest surroundings, but I can improvise.
So, your take and why, please. Thanks, in advance, for any help.
Answer:
Cost of living: Kentucky's best by far.
Georgia is okay but around Atlanta it's pricey.
Sorry to say, Houston is dumpy. And expensive.

Well, I just don't like it when people shove "their religion down my throat." I can find any of those types in any locale if I look for them. I live in a sometimes overly zealous religious state now, but I don't let that component bother me.
Answer:
Gainesville GA sucks, don't move there. Athens isn't too bad. It's a fun college town. Atlanta is too crowded, running out of water, and has horrible traffic. I don't know about the other places, but Houston is considered one of the most underrated cities, It's supposed to be a good place to live.
