I'm a native of Fort Worth, Texas. I've lived in California and Mississippi and have traveled many places. Texas beats them all. Especially the cost of living.
Learn a simple rule to drive in Texas .Drive slow use right lane .Drive speed limit stay in center lane .Unless your doing 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit . Stay out of the left lane
But some of those people hogging the fast lane and who force you to pass them on the right actually act like they are mad at you for passing them! Why are they surprises when someone runs up on their bumper? The fast lane is for driving FAST and staying ahead of the person behind you. If they are faster than you, get out of the fast lane. We have had folks in that fast lane chase us to catch up and then get in front of us and “brake check” us. You got to watch for angry drivers here.
Some of us native Texans are watching your vids too....traffic has got so bad in the last 2 years. I believe it's because many big companies have moved to Texas, hence the reason you guys are meeting so many people who have moved here, from the West Coast. We hold the door because we are courteous. Plain and simple. We do drive like crazy people! The traffic has got worse in the last couple of years. The Metroplex has grown so much and Dallas has blended with Fort Worth.
All the things you just mentioned, we have been hearing as well. Dallas really is a booming city!! It'll be interesting to see where it is 5-10 years from now.
I do not like when people don’t give the Texas wave when driving and letting people cut in front, etc....that’s how I know if someone is NOT from Texas
They dont get it.. I think these 2 would fit in better in Portland, maybe Austin than they do Dallas. I wanna leave places like those.. Thats all i know.
@@LongLeggedOne never been to Oregon I wouldn't know lived in Texas 70% of my life born here military family I only travel outside Texas for vacation and makes me love coming home so much better especially if they don't have just regular sweet tea like in England
Jada Denise. Don't feel bad traffic has gotten ridiculous and I react like a crazy lady because of this traffic not only that they're texting. 🙃🙃🙃🤪🤪😂😂🙋 Stay Safe
I just saw your channel and thought it was great! I moved to San Antonio in 1981 after growing up in Palo Alto, California! What a different culture!! I didn't even know what a fire ant was! I was used to a formal, Asian culture, my friends families were wealthy, reserved and quiet. Their parents would have never touched us or raised their voices...you never stared or spoke up until spoken to...then I was in San Antonio, home of the chancla wielding mama!! The minute I walked into the house, a plate of food was put in front of me, a big hug, questions about everything, giving advice, everyone talking at once, breaking into Spanish...I was completely confused! It was wonderful. I married a Texan from a settler family who had an ancestor that fought at the Alamo! I didn't know anything about it, which horrified everyone!! It was like saying I had never heard of WW2.. 30 years on and more, i love it here, i became so happy with all the history and culture and languages and friendly people, it is wonderful! I would never move back to California, as beautiful as it is, just because I love this big state! Welcome!
It should be titled "Moving to DFW". Texas is much more than the Metroplex... and FORT WORTH IS NOT DALLAS ! Just wanted to add... Tone is so difficult in the written word. If I sounded rude, it was not my intent... Nutin' but luv to y'all...
What’s the difference? A gridlock mess. It isn’t different because his royal highness Jerry Jones has said it is the Home of the “Dallas” Cowboys, this you are Dallas
Fort Worth is definitely NOT Dallas. However, they haven't been here all that long so I'm willing to cut them a break. From the video I can tell they live in the metro-mess and haven't gotten an opportunity to get out of town so to speak other than Waco and really the I-35 corridor isn't much different all the way to San Antonio.
It's a mix around here. I always get stuck behind people on ramps going 55 trying to merge with others going 80/90. And people tailgate (with wide open lanes next to them) like I've never seen before lol.
Dude, you’re talking about Dallas, Houston, and Austin! Try out visiting the rest of Texas. It’s a completely different area. And by the way, if you don’t like Texas, go back to where you were from, bless your heart.
Shirley Velarde yeah I know how people are in Texas very friendly except the racists I met a few sadly but I do enjoy my city and that people say good morning or say have a great day . Lol
I moved to Dallas when I was about your age and lived there for 30 years. I recently had to move to Houston. I miss Dallas like crazy!! Your videos give me a little “home” and I’m thoroughly enjoying watching you learn the city!! Enjoy! It’s a great place. You forgot to mention that the state is insanely big. It’s 4 hours to Houston; 9 to El Paso. On the East coast, 4 hours is 4 states. 9 hours is another country. 😂 Have fun y’all.
Jedrick Burgos Zoning. It’s cleaner, better managed. And weather. I like the occasional snow. It rarely floods. No hurricanes. (Occasional tornados, though.) It is more expensive, but median salaries are higher. There’s way more to do. To me, it seems much safer. I love the views. Attitudes are different, more respectful....sigh...I miss Dallas.
I’m Texas born and bred been here all my life. I always hold the door for everyone and I remember onetime a lady didn’t say thank you. I don’t think she was from Texas!
Me & my husband are moving from Virginia to Texas in a few weeks! I was born and raised in VA but I’ve visited Texas 6 times. I’m super excited for our move!!
I moved to Houston from Minnesota last July and I can say that you guys pretty much nailed it lol..I do miss the beauty of MN and all the nature, but at the same time I feel blessed to be here in TX and I love it here....Welcome to TX my fellow Minnesotans!
Minneapolis is a terrible place now. Its blue too and it might as well be an extension of Chicago. Those protests too.. The police. I dont wanna be anywhere like that anymore.
Kristie C that’s because you blue state refugees poor into Texas like it’s gonna be your utopia, then go right on voting for boneheads like Beto and his ilk... you’ll turn it into a shithole like one you came from! Take the red pill and grow the hell up!
The big thing that got me is how much Texas loves Texas. I'm from Missouri, where it is what it is- we don't really have a state "identity", per se. It is kinda endearing, and rarely turns into an ego thing unless a native is joking around about it. Also- A coke is any soda. They call shopping carts buggies.
I just moved to Dallas 7 months ago from Michigan and I LOVE IT HERE !!! Everything you guys said is true only thing is I wish I had saw this video sooner 🥰 great job you two you nailed it !!!
Texas is its own country. When we visited Italy, if we said we were from United States, they were not impressed. When we said we were from Texas, they were Wow and engaged in conversation. So we learned quickly to say we were from Texas! That’s how amazing it is here! Native Houstonian... Spring/Woodlands. We grow out not up.
......its own country.....?!.... No offense but re read history 101.. Between mex-Tex revolution... Then...pls re edit your comment And im not from TX, I'm not Mexican...and I know more than you know...or you just contradict your self living in you litter world
People from small towns in Texas have the same experiences as y’all do going to the big cities of Texas. And by the way, Houston traffic is far worse than DFW! Oh and and stay away from Austin between 3 PM - 7 PM! Especially on I-35!
Moved to Dallas from Houston 8 months ago and the traffic here in Dallas is horrible all weekend because the suburbs between Dallas and Ft. Worth are huge. Traffic in Houstons seems worst because everyone basically drive in to Houston from suburbs to work. I miss Houston because it's more laid back where here everything is fast pace.
Speaking of traffic, I was visiting Texas and I learned never travel early in the morning around 3-4 am. Everyone drives like they have to be at work the next second. I pulled over on the side of the road and watched the parade.
I live in Houston and travel a lot back to Arkansas. Houston is like Nascar at 3 AM. People will literally race here and they don't give a dang about cops. lol
Born and bred in Texas ... and I find it fun to see newcomers’ reactions to the Lone Star State, it’s people, and state of mind. The one thing I do have to say, I road trip a lot and have been to 42 states so far, so I can tell you that there are a lot of similarities, as well as differences. One thing I’m told from newcomers to Texas is: I heard, before coming, that Texans were supposed to be so friendly, and though some are, a lot are not ... my response: did you ask the not so friendly if they were native Texans? 🤔 The only thing native Texans request is that people moving to our state respect our state, and not try to change us to what you came from ... we will not, so if you like the way things were in your state, then feel free to go back 😁 otherwise, give our way of life a true try, and welcome 💗 (P.S. just about anywhere outside of Dallas looks upon that city as the red-headed step child of our state - and this coming from a redhead 😝, so don’t judge all of Texas by one city, we are a diversified state. Thanks)
Korpian no, not everyone ... I didn’t for most of my life, though raised around them and taught how to handle one in my teens. It wasn’t until recently I wanted one, just in case 🤷♀️ but I’d say probably 2/3s have at least one, whether it’s a hand gun, rifle, or shotgun.
Korpian no, not unless they’re being threatened ... I realize there are assholes out there who have no respect for human lives, but most of us raised around guns have a healthy respect for both the guns and human lives
Country people are the nicest Texans and always are well mannered. I was born in Houston and was brought up using manners and being polite to everyone.
We moved to Fort Worth from Minneapolis 2 years ago. We love it. Fort Worth is way quieter than Dallas. People opening doors surprised me too. Alot of speed racers on the road here. I love Chic Fil A too! Hardly had it when in Minnesota. Yes there are tons of restraunts here. 50% of Texans eat out every week. Lol! I'm so relating to your video. My first week in Forth Worth I meet 3 California's that moved within the last 3 years. The driving here is crazy 😳. The apartments and houses are much better than Minnesota, they are bigger more modern and more affordable. Thank you for the video!
On November 26, 2019, I moved back to Dallas after 40 years in CA. Soooo happy to be back home!!! And yes, Dallas is moving 24/7. And yes, if you're going 80 on the freeway, somebody will be passing you soon. 635 is like LA's 405. Love me some Dallas!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱 I just stumbled onto y'alls Channel tonight. It's AWESOME!!! For the Record, I grew up around Jupiter Road and Northwest Highway... You guys should try Keller's Hamburgers on Garland Road. Also on Northwest Highway at Abrams. It's all Dallas.
I live in Houston TX and the traffic is a mess I avoid the freeway as much as possible thank God for Mitch quick thinking to avoid that accident glad you'll are ok hope and pray that everyone in the comments have a bless evening🙏🙏
God bless you both. Note: the reason Texas is so strong in jobs is due to it's conservative values, favorable business environment and love of liberty. Vote accordingly. Welcome to Texas.
@gereikat Wrong!!. Venezuela is very rich in oil. Look at them now, a Socialist mess. Country falling apart, starvation. It's Texas' conservative values that makes it strong.
I laughed when they talked about people moving there from Ca,Oregon,Colorado and Arizona. It's obvious to most why but I guess it's not cool to say it? Lol
gereikat...number one reason Texas is successful is due to its favorable business environment...you the stupid one...California gots lots of oil and it’s a shit hole.
I'm a native New Yorker now living in the south, and I have always held the door open for people behind me, male or female. Didn't realize I was so unique.
Hey guys, we moved here from Chicago a few years ago. 2 things to add that I learned. 1. Highway driving is scarier down here. We call it "Pulling a Texas" - where they see the exit they want as about to pass it and shoot 3 lanes over to make it. I see that weekly it seems. And 2. Guys, when you go to a register and the cashier is female, esp. if your girl isn't there. Good chance you will be called hun, babe, sugar etc etc. They are NOT flirting with you, it's just a southern thing. I knew it right away but still felt strange for awhile never hearing that stuff up north.
I am from Texas we who care say if you don't have to be driving when it's raining don't. People don't know how to drive In The rain. Watch out for people who do rolling stop, run red light, don't use there blinker or turn it on to early or late. You should not drink and drive but people do so be careful. Choice wisly when to honk your horn because if you do you might get someone with road rage or worse, Be prepared it can in the summer be 105 degrees with 100% humidity. Winter 80-32 degrees rare to have snow.
I work off of Old Denton and Dickerson! I still get excited about the Asian dedicated businesses! And yes especially the church!!!! Love it!!!! Great video and welcome to Dallas!!!
That sounds awesome! Are there any African American dedicated businesses and/or affluent African American communities? My family and I are looking to move to Texas in the very near future.
Thinking of moving there myself from Miami (former new Yorker ) but have my Doubts , looking to move for the last time and retire, Florida got to expensive and the is always hot (nothing’s changes out here ) Miami Beach is overrated lol (should I do it ?)
Just don't choose South Texas, I live in the Rio Grande Valley moved from California. They have beautiful places up North, around Fredericksburg, New Braunfels if you like country life. Many people have moved to DFW and other places around there, personally after living in San Jose don't want to live in a big metropolis. I'm not moving I like hot weather. Good luck
I agree with you on Dallas being super fast paced all of the time. It seriously stresses me out!!! I feel like the only time you have to slow down or settle down is when you are at home. Great video, love you guys. 👍❤️
It's the cost of living and yes we do have lots of transplants from the east coast and West coast. Most people move to Texas because they want home ownership. You just have to get used to it here because we are large and really diverse. Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas
Immerse yourself in the culture. You can go square dancing, horse riding, hay rides, pick strawberries, pumpkins, apples at a farm, lots of museums downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, go to cultural festivals, and as you said try all kinds of foods!
Most of my friends who have moved to Dallas have told me the job market is VERY hot there. Atlanta has kind of gone down...trash, crowded, crime, high real estate, etc. Dallas is a better choice every day of the week.
Thank you so much Destiny and Mitch for sharing! I’m from WI and currently a resident in MN. I intentionally moved here after a 20 year separation of living in the same state as my immediate family. However my significant other and I are highly considering moving! Your video along with reading the comments gave me a lot of insight and inspiration too! ♥️
Enjoyed your video. Welcome to Texas. It sounds like you've still got a lot to see and experience. I'm a native Texas. I'm 66 and I tried to leave after I graduated from UT but something kept pulling me back. Here's some other Texas things to check out. Our extreme weather is July & August. You'll need a pool or lake plus an AC. Y'all probably figured that out. We are very proud of our BBQ and chili. Texas BBQ is a different cooking style than anywhere else. Look for the places with the longest lines out front. In Texas, there are NO beans in chili. If there's beans, it's stew. Go to a high school football game in the fall. Any high school. The hill country in the fall is beautiful. Try to find a music festival. If we ever get to have one again.Local music is excellent most of the time. Austin is great for live music, but it's crowded and bad traffic like DFW. The Gulf coast is great.Try the Sandfest in Port Aransas in April. And finally, take that butt-numbing 10 hour drive to Big Bend in the spring or fall. It make for good memories. Be open, honest and kind and you'll be alright. Oh yeah, work "y'all" into your vocabulary.
I’m from WI, currently a resident in MN. My family and I are HIGHLY considering moving to Texas! I can’t wait to visit. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and highlights of Texas!
The area of Old Denton Road & Trinity Mills Rd in Carrollton is called K Town, Korea Town. Frisco has a K Town too, great food! Legacy West, on the Plano Frisco boarder, has outstanding food. Nice place to walk around on a cool evening. Be careful when you drive on the tollways, they charge you more to be on it at different times of day. I avoid them anymore.
My wife and I took a trip to DFW to visit some friends last summer. We are now in the process of buying a home in DFW now. We absolutely fell in love with Texas.
I lived in Texas my whole life, west Texas and Dallas. My husband and I loved to Colorado to experience some real winter and live close to the magnificent mountains three years ago. We loved it, I adored the snow.. but it was hella expensive with all the taxes and fees for everything that is also based on tax ($1300 car registration?!), but also because the housing prices are unreal and we can get so much more house and land for our money in Texas. And.. Colorado was pretty isolating. I personally missed a lot of my close friends and family in Texas and though I met some great people in Colorado, none of them were from there. I really became aware of the term “native” in Colorado because the people who grew up there will let you know that and over time it gets really annoying. Native Coloradans don’t seem to want new residents around and that’s not my vibe so we peaced out and came back to Dallas.
What city did you live in in co? I’m from Texas and have thought of moving to co for mountains and weather but I also love Texas because it has so much to offer
Lived in Orlando for several years. Dallas, Houston, Austin have traffic. No one drives fast in Orlando because it too congested. Used to sit at traffic lights and couldn’t go on green because no where to go. In Waco now and loving it. And really close to the biggies and ocean. Perfect.
You guys hit it spot on. My husband and I moved from Oklahoma to Dallas a couple of years ago. We love it here though. It definitely takes some adjusting.
I moved to Texas about 2 years ago, one of the main reasons was for its conservative values. If you are escaping from liberal states running away from Taxes, Liberal Politics like Commiefornia, please vote conservative, don’t vote for what you ran away from.
I really enjoyed the video, and although I have no plans to move to Texas, I nevertheless found it very informative. Now, what I enjoyed most about your presentation, was you, you guys are a real joy to watch, you have such wonderful body language. I particularly liked the way you relate to each other, and the viewer; this was a pleasurable viewer experience. This video has markedly improved my opinion of Texas, which until now, had merely been a collection stereotypes, and memes, we, people in California normally apply to Texas.
I’m a Texas girl, and I’ve heard this my whole life about people moving to Texas. “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could”. Glad your here!!! Enjoy the great state of Texas!!!
There's plenty of us who are definitely NOT Cowboys fans! They're a joke! Like " Visit the Cowboys stadiums, don't worry about catching the virus, bc they can't catch ANYTHING!" Lol..
I'm from Philadelphia and I want to move to Texas sooooooo bad. Literally been talking about it for the last 3 year! 42 degrees being cold is a blessing in comparison!
Thank God you made it out safely from the near accident near Waco. We would love to send some appreciation money YOUR way each month!! Let us know how!!! Keep the love going and keep appreciating each other. Bless you both
Thank you for this! My husband and I are seriously considering the dfw metroplex (specifically CityLine). And being from MI I 100% agree with the fact that driving in snow makes you a better driver!! Thanks again! :)
I am a native Texan. The longer you are here the more you will love. You have to get use to the heat! It is not June and we have had 108 and 95 has been a norm. I live in San Angelo. About 5hours from Dallas. We usually say how far in hours here because Texas is that big!
.....yes it is....but there more Mexican, white ,blacks....that all isaw when I was there for 4 years in texas.. Stationary in SA visit -,Austin Houston I'm army retired 18years Air combat been in like 12 states
Dallas drivers are so crazy. I had to go through there for college and every time I would witness multiple almost-accidents. Your right. Some drive really fast and weave, and some drive SLOW. Which is such a bad thing on the freeway. I'm always so focused when entering dallas.
I live on Lake Corpus Christi between Corpus and San Antonio. The pace here much slower than in the DFW area. I lived in the Seattle area for 20 years and I miss walking in the numerous woods that we don’t have here and I don’t really like the weather here, but when I hear about temps in the Northern states in winter, I’ll take our warm winters any day. The spring winds from the south are so irritating, but when they stop and you start feeling the full force of the heat, you miss the wind. When I lived in the Northwest, I got the strangest looks from people on the street when I said hello or nodded when passing, guess they thought I wanted something from them when instead I was just being friendly. Texans even raise a finger or hand off the steering wheel when they pass you on the road even if they don’t know you. There are many things here I wish were more like the Northwest, but a lot of my life-long dreams have come true since I moved back to my home state. I hope you two can experience some of the better things about Texas than what you’ve found in the DFW area. Welcome y’all.
I moved from Los Angeles to San Antonio....Texas highways in San Antonio, Houston and DFW are so confusing and dangerous. Property taxes for homeowners are insane!!
Been in Houston nearly 6 months and love love love it here! The traffic tho, the drive is so driving...everywhere!! Yikes! First few months took some getting used too but now just get in and move. But the patriotism, the love of God, guns and our freedoms is essential to living! So glad to be from Wa state :)
I'm from Brooklyn, moving to Dallas next month. I'm actually here in Dallas now looking at apartments mostly in fort worth... Its funny hearing you guys talk about fast paced. Coming from NY, this is nice and slow... Just not too slow
Yeah we hear that a lot from people moving from CA, NY, and Chicago. Compared to MN they're all fast lol crazy how different the world's we grew up in are!!
I loved your video. I live in California and I’ve been from here my whole life. But recently, I have had multiple friends that have left California to go to Texas to live. I know that Texas is a special place to take some of my best friends from me. I know that it has a lot to offer people. It’s bittersweet losing my friends to Texas, but seeing your video, assures me that I think they will be great in Texas too.
I was born in Houston, but when I was 11 I moved to St. Louis so most of my life I was in suburbs in Missouri and Illinois. Now I am back here. In one area not right in the city. Just like there it is sooo big. I can attest to everything you said. Exactly the same here. I will add that these cowboys on the road in their pick up trucks are the craziest. And watch out for the 18 wheelers. Just because they have huge blind spots.
OK 11:00 in. People in Texas did not used to play their music loud. Or in anyway cause a disturbance. Those are Teenagers or the City not enforcing noise pollution. You need to move. An leave a notice as of why. We normally talk to residents about this an suggest what we FULLY SUPPORT. Go to a park. Parks you can make lots of noise. But NOT in residential residence.
A few more things: The cities are just like living in any other big city - bumper to bumper traffic, crowds, expensive, diversity, etc. Most people in the cities are from out of state. Dairy Queen is better than Chic-Fil-A. Real Texans drawl, people from out of state don't. Country roads have shoulders. A real Texas kid will call you "ma'am" or "sir." And Texas is HOT from April through November.
It's funny...I am german living in Texas since 2017 and I am sure many Texans would say that driving in germany ( no speed limits on Autobahn) is more dangerous... ( therefore the " I survived the german Autobahn shirts ) but I have to say...the driving here is crazy ... oh and having a working AC in your house is essential in TX.
Welcome to Texas! I would recommend to explore South Texas and East Texas and, yes, bring the sunblock and AC unit. Enjoy and take care! Just beware the crazy weather changes in Laredo, especially when the season change (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter). Ex. Spring Season: sudden winter temp. day or Summer: you'll receive a tan without even knowing.
Also, you will have a lot of sunshine here. Welcome to the Sunbelt. I lived on the east coast, so much better living in Texas! It is a different world.
I’ve lived in Minnesota my entire life and might move to Texas by the end of this year. Just visited Fort Worth and fell in love with everything there!
I moved to Texas from South Dakota....Texas is the best and will never leave!!
Give it some time. I lived in Houston and it was terrible.
I regret moving to Texas.
@@christye7550 Why?
I've given it 5 years and still haven't regretted it!! Plus my son is now Texas born!! Texas pride or die!!
Christy E where did you move from? And what part of Texas did you move to?
I'm a native of Fort Worth, Texas. I've lived in California and Mississippi and have traveled many places. Texas beats them all. Especially the cost of living.
I’m sure Mississippi is cheaper
Mississippi is cheaper than Texas.
Maybe Mississippi but not California.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?🤔
I’m from California and this place sucks unless your rich. You have poor and rich.... middle class doesn’t exist here.
Learn a simple rule to drive in Texas .Drive slow use right lane .Drive speed limit stay in center lane .Unless your doing 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit . Stay out of the left lane
But some of those people hogging the fast lane and who force you to pass them on the right actually act like they are mad at you for passing them!

Depends how far away y’all are from city folk. Country living is where it’s at! Good folk and good living.
Do not say you guys. You say y’all. You guys shows you are not from Texas
Yep that true

We hold the door because we are courteous. Plain and simple. We do drive like crazy people! The traffic has got worse in the last couple of years.

Couldn’t have said it better myself Julie!
I do not like when people don’t give the Texas wave when driving and letting people cut in front, etc....that’s how I know if someone is NOT from Texas
If you think Dallas is crazy go to Houston. Traffic is crazy and drivers also.
Houston is insane, that’s why I left. I added 20 years to my life here in TN.
They dont get it.. I think these 2 would fit in better in Portland, maybe Austin than they do Dallas. I wanna leave places like those.. Thats all i know.

I just saw your channel and thought it was great! I moved to San Antonio in 1981 after growing up in Palo Alto, California! What a different culture!! I didn't even know what a fire ant was! I was used to a formal, Asian culture, my friends families were wealthy, reserved and quiet. Their parents would have never touched us or raised their voices...you never stared or spoke up until spoken to...then I was in San Antonio, home of the chancla wielding mama!! The minute I walked into the house, a plate of food was put in front of me, a big hug, questions about everything, giving advice, everyone talking at once, breaking into Spanish...I was completely confused! It was wonderful. I married a Texan from a settler family who had an ancestor that fought at the Alamo! I didn't know anything about it, which horrified everyone!! It was like saying I had never heard of WW2..
30 years on and more, i love it here, i became so happy with all the history and culture and languages and friendly people, it is wonderful! I would never move back to California, as beautiful as it is, just because I love this big state! Welcome!
I too am a chancla mom. Kept my kids on the straight and narrow!
It should be titled "Moving to DFW". Texas is much more than the Metroplex... and FORT WORTH IS NOT DALLAS ! Just wanted to add... Tone is so difficult in the written word. If I sounded rude, it was not my intent... Nutin' but luv to y'all...
Thank you!! Fort Worth is NOT Dallas!
What’s the difference? A gridlock mess. It isn’t different because his royal highness Jerry Jones has said it is the Home of the “Dallas” Cowboys, this you are Dallas
Yes Fort Worth is not Dallas
Thaaaank you Dallas is it’s own city county etc. ft worth is much more chill. An it’s tarrant. Texas is huuuuge Dallas is just a small piece of it.
Fort Worth is definitely NOT Dallas. However, they haven't been here all that long so I'm willing to cut them a break. From the video I can tell they live in the metro-mess and haven't gotten an opportunity to get out of town so to speak other than Waco and really the I-35 corridor isn't much different all the way to San Antonio.
You both compliment each other so well. Love you guys❤️
Texans just drive fast
Also don’t for get to say Yes ma’am and no sir, manners go a very long way here in Texas
It's a mix around here. I always get stuck behind people on ramps going 55 trying to merge with others going 80/90. And people tailgate (with wide open lanes next to them) like I've never seen before lol.
No Texas don't drive fast it's people from other places. I remember the good ole days. Stay Safe
i'm in texas because it's big, it's hot, it has good manners, and it's very grassy and pretty
i can't go to cali because of the bad manners
I have not heard that once since living here.
Texas just drive fast.....clearly you never been outside of Texas and is ok...
But need to take a look Florida, NY,California......
I like that he included the door opening but its true lol
Dude, you’re talking about Dallas, Houston, and Austin! Try out visiting the rest of Texas. It’s a completely different area. And by the way, if you don’t like Texas, go back to where you were from, bless your heart.
Jan Russell fuck are u talking bout russell I’m from the H. Just enjoy the video and stfu thank you
Paradise. Yes it is true that we open doors for other people. We also say sir and ma’am. It’s called respect
Shirley Velarde yeah I know how people are in Texas very friendly except the racists I met a few sadly but I do enjoy my city and that people say good morning or say have a great day . Lol
@@paradise2806 Portlands more racist.
I moved to Dallas when I was about your age and lived there for 30 years. I recently had to move to Houston. I miss Dallas like crazy!! Your videos give me a little “home” and I’m thoroughly enjoying watching you learn the city!! Enjoy! It’s a great place.
You forgot to mention that the state is insanely big. It’s 4 hours to Houston; 9 to El Paso. On the East coast, 4 hours is 4 states. 9 hours is another country. 😂
Have fun y’all.
Dallas is the place I want to move to. It really shows me that its the best option and the city can handle its traffic also.
In what ways is Dallas better than Houston?
Jedrick Burgos Zoning. It’s cleaner, better managed. And weather. I like the occasional snow. It rarely floods. No hurricanes. (Occasional tornados, though.) It is more expensive, but median salaries are higher. There’s way more to do. To me, it seems much safer. I love the views. Attitudes are different, more respectful....sigh...I miss Dallas.
I’m Texas born and bred been here all my life. I always hold the door for everyone and I remember onetime a lady didn’t say thank you. I don’t think she was from Texas!
I’m moving from Philadelphia to Dallas for my first job out of college and this video made me feel a lot less nervous❤️❤️
yes queen, we're gonna flip texas blue!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Dallas girl! Don’t feel nervous.
It will be culture shock for you but you’re welcomed!
Ken M Im no. Dont move from your blue states because they suck and move to TX and turn it blue. Are you god forsaken stupid?
@Z Houston, San Antonio and Austin have a better job market than Dallas....just fyi.
@@timfarmer648 Lmao! I love my Texas people 😂😂😂😂😂
Me & my husband are moving from Virginia to Texas in a few weeks! I was born and raised in VA but I’ve visited Texas 6 times. I’m super excited for our move!!
I moved to Houston from Minnesota last July and I can say that you guys pretty much nailed it lol..I do miss the beauty of MN and all the nature, but at the same time I feel blessed to be here in TX and I love it here....Welcome to TX my fellow Minnesotans!
Welcome to Houston, Texas. I live in Katy , West of Houston. I also lived in Forth Worth and Dallas, Tx and I see Houston with more opportunities
Minneapolis is a terrible place now. Its blue too and it might as well be an extension of Chicago. Those protests too.. The police. I dont wanna be anywhere like that anymore.
Oh the Replacements are a good thing to come out of there though lol.
June Bug So Houston and it’s suburbs are better than Dallas and it’s suburbs in your opinion?
@@donjuan914 That dont sound right to me. I dont think thei're better at all but some might think so.
Welcome, now don’t forget to keep Texas red!
Kristie C that’s because you blue state refugees poor into Texas like it’s gonna be your utopia, then go right on voting for boneheads like Beto and his ilk... you’ll turn it into a shithole like one you came from!
Take the red pill and grow the hell up!
2020 Texas = 1970 California.
So sad...Cali used to be the place to be...now everyone is leaving...so sad what the Dems have done to Cali
Remember to vote RED! To keep Texas a good place to live!!
1970 California was when Reagan was the governor
@@a.f5388 I will be shining red laser beams of patriotism when I arrive, don't worry 😁😁😁
I love that that’s what we are after
The big thing that got me is how much Texas loves Texas. I'm from Missouri, where it is what it is- we don't really have a state "identity", per se. It is kinda endearing, and rarely turns into an ego thing unless a native is joking around about it.
Also- A coke is any soda.
They call shopping carts buggies.
I just moved to Dallas 7 months ago from Michigan and I LOVE IT HERE !!! Everything you guys said is true only thing is I wish I had saw this video sooner 🥰 great job you two you nailed it !!!
Hi, how's I still going? I'm looking to love to Texas. Which part do not flood?
@@Unique77783 me too!! I'm trying to relocate there within 6 months, PRAYING for you and pray for me as well both trying to TRANSITION to greater 😗
You guys are absolutely right about Dallas Texas ! I’ve been here 50 yrs and I agree 100% with what u say!
Texas is its own country. When we visited Italy, if we said we were from United States, they were not impressed. When we said we were from Texas, they were Wow and engaged in conversation. So we learned quickly to say we were from Texas! That’s how amazing it is here! Native Houstonian... Spring/Woodlands. We grow out not up.
From an Italian girl here in Italy we see Texas as hell, guns, racist, not feminist and homophobic people, not a great thought of your country
Hey im from spring/woodlands area too.
......its own country.....?!....
No offense but re read history 101..
Between mex-Tex revolution...
Then...pls re edit your comment
And im not from TX, I'm not Mexican...and I know more than you know...or you just contradict your self living in you litter world
lucky bambooForest754 you do realize that statement was rhetorical right?
@@outdoorsnaturengod9276 you have to be from Texas to know why it's like its own country 😆
Welcome to Texas y'all. I'm a Texas native. The hospitality is real that's just who we are as Texans we take pride in our state 🙂
We are so proud to be TEXANS.....GOD BLESS TEXAS!
DONT FORGET WHATABURGER!!!
Whataburger is definitely better than In-N-Out
I’m from Texas and while eating chick fila watching this video lol
you for got to mention that we shut Texas down with just the thought of snow
What snow? LOL
@@mitchellcole832 lol it's soooo funny reading this today since right now there's a snow storm and over 2 million people without power.
“Shut down“ is a relative term. It’s too dangerous to drive to work. It’s OK to drive to go shopping or to eat out.
Damn... doesnt work like that here in Canada
People from small towns in Texas have the same experiences as y’all do going to the big cities of Texas. And by the way, Houston traffic is far worse than DFW! Oh and and stay away from Austin between 3 PM - 7 PM! Especially on I-35!
Yup, small town Texas is a whole 'nother country. Highly recommended.
Moved to Dallas from Houston 8 months ago and the traffic here in Dallas is horrible all weekend because the suburbs between Dallas and Ft. Worth are huge. Traffic in Houstons seems worst because everyone basically drive in to Houston from suburbs to work. I miss Houston because it's more laid back where here everything is fast pace.
You guys are so cute together! Currently leaving MN, can't wait to get out of here. Thinking of Texas! Thanks for the informative video!
Speaking of traffic, I was visiting Texas and I learned never travel early in the morning around 3-4 am. Everyone drives like they have to be at work the next second. I pulled over
on the side of the road and watched the parade.
Hahaha this is SO true!! It's probably cause there's no one else on the road, but it's still dangerous 🙄
So True!!! Every morning!!!
I live in Houston and travel a lot back to Arkansas. Houston is like Nascar at 3 AM. People will literally race here and they don't give a dang about cops. lol
Born and bred in Texas ... and I find it fun to see newcomers’ reactions to the Lone Star State, it’s people, and state of mind. The one thing I do have to say, I road trip a lot and have been to 42 states so far, so I can tell you that there are a lot of similarities, as well as differences. One thing I’m told from newcomers to Texas is: I heard, before coming, that Texans were supposed to be so friendly, and though some are, a lot are not ... my response: did you ask the not so friendly if they were native Texans? 🤔 The only thing native Texans request is that people moving to our state respect our state, and not try to change us to what you came from ... we will not, so if you like the way things were in your state, then feel free to go back 😁 otherwise, give our way of life a true try, and welcome 💗 (P.S. just about anywhere outside of Dallas looks upon that city as the red-headed step child of our state - and this coming from a redhead 😝, so don’t judge all of Texas by one city, we are a diversified state. Thanks)
Korpian no, not everyone ... I didn’t for most of my life, though raised around them and taught how to handle one in my teens. It wasn’t until recently I wanted one, just in case 🤷♀️ but I’d say probably 2/3s have at least one, whether it’s a hand gun, rifle, or shotgun.
Korpian no, not unless they’re being threatened ... I realize there are assholes out there who have no respect for human lives, but most of us raised around guns have a healthy respect for both the guns and human lives
Country people are the nicest Texans and always are well mannered. I was born in Houston and was brought up using manners and being polite to everyone.
Very well said!
Aww explains all the cowboy haters
Thanks Me And My Family Might Move And It’s So Boring Here In Farmington New Mexico It Sucks! I Just Want Something To Do!
We moved to Fort Worth from Minneapolis 2 years ago. We love it. Fort Worth is way quieter than Dallas. People opening doors surprised me too. Alot of speed racers on the road here. I love Chic Fil A too! Hardly had it when in Minnesota. Yes there are tons of restraunts here. 50% of Texans eat out every week. Lol! I'm so relating to your video. My first week in Forth Worth I meet 3 California's that moved within the last 3 years. The driving here is crazy 😳. The apartments and houses are much better than Minnesota, they are bigger more modern and more affordable.
Thank you for the video!
On November 26, 2019, I moved back to Dallas after 40 years in CA. Soooo happy to be back home!!! And yes, Dallas is moving 24/7. And yes, if you're going 80 on the freeway, somebody will be passing you soon. 635 is like LA's 405. Love me some Dallas!!! 🇨🇱🇨🇱
I just stumbled onto y'alls Channel tonight. It's AWESOME!!! For the Record, I grew up around Jupiter Road and Northwest Highway... You guys should try Keller's Hamburgers on Garland Road. Also on Northwest Highway at Abrams. It's all Dallas.
I’ve lived in Dallas all my life. Fort Worth is a city to itself. It’s crazy
Lol your so right I live in ft worth and we just chilling😂❤️
Dawn Bogar You’re exactly right lol.. been here all my life.. ft worth chillin 😂
I’m born & raised in Texas & y’all said mostly everything right! Good video.👍🏽
I live in Houston TX and the traffic is a mess I avoid the freeway as much as possible thank God for Mitch quick thinking to avoid that accident glad you'll are ok hope and pray that everyone in the comments have a bless evening🙏🙏
Get out. I did last year and it was the BEST decision for me ever.
Wait until you see how most people handle ice/snow in DFW. Now that is scary!
Rain and snow in Texas mean speed up😄
Dallas resident here 🙋♀️ and these are all FACTS!
God bless you both. Note: the reason Texas is so strong in jobs is due to it's conservative values, favorable business environment and love of liberty. Vote accordingly. Welcome to Texas.
fandude7 Texas! Come and take it!,
@gereikat Wrong!!. Venezuela is very rich in oil. Look at them now, a Socialist mess. Country falling apart, starvation. It's Texas' conservative values that makes it strong.
I laughed when they talked about people moving there from Ca,Oregon,Colorado and Arizona. It's obvious to most why but I guess it's not cool to say it? Lol
gereikat...number one reason Texas is successful is due to its favorable business environment...you the stupid one...California gots lots of oil and it’s a shit hole.
I never knew people didn't open the door for you all the time until I went out of state lmao everyone is so much friendlier in Texas. Love my home
I'm a native New Yorker now living in the south, and I have always held the door open for people behind me, male or female. Didn't realize I was so unique.
Hey guys, we moved here from Chicago a few years ago. 2 things to add that I learned. 1. Highway driving is scarier down here. We call it "Pulling a Texas" - where they see the exit they want as about to pass it and shoot 3 lanes over to make it. I see that weekly it seems. And 2. Guys, when you go to a register and the cashier is female, esp. if your girl isn't there. Good chance you will be called hun, babe, sugar etc etc. They are NOT flirting with you, it's just a southern thing. I knew it right away but still felt strange for awhile never hearing that stuff up north.
Highway driving haven't always been like this. Too many people moving here. It's too much now.
I guess the driving thing is missing an exit means driving way way out of your way to turn around. Also, sometimes the way back is not so easy.
I didn’t hear anything too bad. Glad to hear it and welcome to texas y’all. ❤️ we love ya
I am from Texas we who care say if you don't have to be driving when it's raining don't. People don't know how to drive In The rain. Watch out for people who do rolling stop, run red light, don't use there blinker or turn it on to early or late. You should not drink and drive but people do so be careful. Choice wisly when to honk your horn because if you do you might get someone with road rage or worse, Be prepared it can in the summer be 105 degrees with 100% humidity. Winter 80-32 degrees rare to have snow.
I work off of Old Denton and Dickerson! I still get excited about the Asian dedicated businesses! And yes especially the church!!!! Love it!!!! Great video and welcome to Dallas!!!
what church this is y i wanna move here everyone talks about god
That sounds awesome! Are there any African American dedicated businesses and/or affluent African American communities? My family and I are looking to move to Texas in the very near future.
I moved to Abilene, Tx from New Jersey. I've NEVER gone back. Texas is the best.
im in san angelo
Thinking of moving there myself from Miami (former new Yorker ) but have my Doubts , looking to move for the last time and retire, Florida got to expensive and the is always hot (nothing’s changes out here ) Miami Beach is overrated lol (should I do it ?)
Just don't choose South Texas, I live in the Rio Grande Valley moved from California.
They have beautiful places
up North, around Fredericksburg, New Braunfels if you like country life. Many people have moved to
DFW and other places around there, personally after living in San Jose don't want to live in a big metropolis. I'm not moving I like hot weather. Good luck
@@lolitatex8788 Remember why you left liberal California. Keep Texas Texas.
Nursing jobs located in Abilene but is there any racial issues? Noticed some online, just scared of "small town negatives". Help!
I agree with you on Dallas being super fast paced all of the time. It seriously stresses me out!!! I feel like the only time you have to slow down or settle down is when you are at home. Great video, love you guys. 👍❤️
Texas is awesome I moved from NYC just before covid hit..
And I am so glad i did...
It's the cost of living and yes we do have lots of transplants from the east coast and West coast. Most people move to Texas because they want home ownership. You just have to get used to it here because we are large and really diverse. Everything is Bigger and Better in Texas
Yvette Garrett if only Texas had a lot more snow I’d move there, but it’s not a diverse climate
Immerse yourself in the culture. You can go square dancing, horse riding, hay rides, pick strawberries, pumpkins, apples at a farm, lots of museums downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, go to cultural festivals, and as you said try all kinds of foods!
This definitely helped me. I plan on moving to Dallas soon! P.S. y’all are adorable 😍 God bless
🙏🙏
Don't. I heard Atlanta is better. Go there.
Most of my friends who have moved to Dallas have told me the job market is VERY hot there. Atlanta has kind of gone down...trash, crowded, crime, high real estate, etc. Dallas is a better choice every day of the week.
Thank you so much Destiny and Mitch for sharing! I’m from WI and currently a resident in MN. I intentionally moved here after a 20 year separation of living in the same state as my immediate family. However my significant other and I are highly considering moving! Your video along with reading the comments gave me a lot of insight and inspiration too! ♥️
We moved from WV to TX two years ago and this is soooo accurate. :)
I think why people in Texas love Chick-fil-A so much is the impeccable service that is standard practice within the company!
Enjoyed your video. Welcome to Texas. It sounds like you've still got a lot to see and experience. I'm a native Texas. I'm 66 and I tried to leave after I graduated from UT but something kept pulling me back. Here's some other Texas things to check out. Our extreme weather is July & August. You'll need a pool or lake plus an AC. Y'all probably figured that out. We are very proud of our BBQ and chili. Texas BBQ is a different cooking style than anywhere else. Look for the places with the longest lines out front. In Texas, there are NO beans in chili. If there's beans, it's stew. Go to a high school football game in the fall. Any high school. The hill country in the fall is beautiful. Try to find a music festival. If we ever get to have one again.Local music is excellent most of the time. Austin is great for live music, but it's crowded and bad traffic like DFW. The Gulf coast is great.Try the Sandfest in Port Aransas in April. And finally, take that butt-numbing 10 hour drive to Big Bend in the spring or fall. It make for good memories. Be open, honest and kind and you'll be alright. Oh yeah, work "y'all" into your vocabulary.
Brent Winn thank you, my brother and kids moved to Sherman.
nice, so they shut dwn the music festival?? i hrd they didnt hv many lockdwns in texas?
I’m from WI, currently a resident in MN. My family and I are HIGHLY considering moving to Texas! I can’t wait to visit. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and highlights of Texas!
The area of Old Denton Road & Trinity Mills Rd in Carrollton is called K Town, Korea Town. Frisco has a K Town too, great food! Legacy West, on the Plano Frisco boarder, has outstanding food. Nice place to walk around on a cool evening. Be careful when you drive on the tollways, they charge you more to be on it at different times of day. I avoid them anymore.
I love that y'all talked about the drivers... I have the opposite experience! Everyone here in Dallas knows how to drive compared to Florida XD
Omg dude I can’t stand the way us Floridians drive
My wife and I took a trip to DFW to visit some friends last summer. We are now in the process of buying a home in DFW now. We absolutely fell in love with Texas.
Congratulations!! That’s great to hear. Welcome to Texas
I lived in Texas my whole life, west Texas and Dallas. My husband and I loved to Colorado to experience some real winter and live close to the magnificent mountains three years ago. We loved it, I adored the snow.. but it was hella expensive with all the taxes and fees for everything that is also based on tax ($1300 car registration?!), but also because the housing prices are unreal and we can get so much more house and land for our money in Texas. And.. Colorado was pretty isolating. I personally missed a lot of my close friends and family in Texas and though I met some great people in Colorado, none of them were from there. I really became aware of the term “native” in Colorado because the people who grew up there will let you know that and over time it gets really annoying. Native Coloradans don’t seem to want new residents around and that’s not my vibe so we peaced out and came back to Dallas.
I wouldnt move to Colorado. It has the same people and prices now that it seems Portland has. Another hell im trying to move out of.
Long Legged One can’t move away from perception
What city did you live in in co? I’m from Texas and have thought of moving to co for mountains and weather but I also love Texas because it has so much to offer
Im from colorado but moved to texas 6 yrs ago were opposites xd
Destiny is absolutely the cutest! Welcome you two to Texas embrace it and it will embrace you.
I’m thinking of moving to Texas from New Jersey thank you for sharing your experience with us. Girl you’re in love we can see it in your 👀 that great.
Same here
Thanks! Fellow Minnesotan preparing to move to TX here. All good things to know!
Welcome to Texas ya’ll!! Ft Worth, TX native😀
Me too I was born in Dallas tho
Lived in Orlando for several years.
Dallas, Houston, Austin have traffic.
No one drives fast in Orlando because it too congested.
Used to sit at traffic lights and couldn’t go on green because no where to go.
In Waco now and loving it.
And really close to the biggies and ocean.
Perfect.
Welcome to Texas. Just never forget what motivated you to come and be part of the greatest Republic in the USA.
You guys hit it spot on. My husband and I moved from Oklahoma to Dallas a couple of years ago. We love it here though. It definitely takes some adjusting.
I moved to Texas about 2 years ago, one of the main reasons was for its conservative values. If you are escaping from liberal states running away from Taxes, Liberal Politics like Commiefornia, please vote conservative, don’t vote for what you ran away from.
So happy to watch this. I'm from northern Iowa and moving to Texas in a few months
I moved to Dallas 10 years ago and you are spot on about the driving speeds lol
I really enjoyed the video, and although I have no plans to move to Texas, I nevertheless found it very informative. Now, what I enjoyed most about your presentation, was you, you guys are a real joy to watch, you have such wonderful body language. I particularly liked the way you relate to each other, and the viewer; this was a pleasurable viewer experience. This video has markedly improved my opinion of Texas, which until now, had merely been a collection stereotypes, and memes, we, people in California normally apply to Texas.
I’m a Texas girl, and I’ve heard this my whole life about people moving to Texas. “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could”. Glad your here!!! Enjoy the great state of Texas!!!
Texas isn't that great.
@M S It never was.
@@malvolio01 No where is that perfectm
Most people move to Texas for monetary reasons. Mountains can be visited on vacations. Bills and expenses are daily.
Mitch you're gonna have to convert to a Cowboys fan because they LOOOOVE their Dallas Cowboys there in Texas.
He would NEVERRRR 😂
There's plenty of us who are definitely NOT Cowboys fans! They're a joke! Like " Visit the Cowboys stadiums, don't worry about catching the virus, bc they can't catch ANYTHING!" Lol..
@@sandyjuntunen4088 luckily you can live anywhere you want. 😁
I'm from Philadelphia and I want to move to Texas sooooooo bad. Literally been talking about it for the last 3 year! 42 degrees being cold is a blessing in comparison!
Thank God you made it out safely from the near accident near Waco.
We would love to send some appreciation money YOUR way each month!! Let us know how!!! Keep the love going and keep appreciating each other. Bless you both
Are ya'll living in Dallas? Welcome!! I have lived in Dallas for 55 years. We have beautiful sunsets, and miles and miles of countryside.
Thank you for this! My husband and I are seriously considering the dfw metroplex (specifically CityLine). And being from MI I 100% agree with the fact that driving in snow makes you a better driver!! Thanks again! :)
I am a native Texan. The longer you are here the more you will love. You have to get use to the heat! It is not June and we have had 108 and 95 has been a norm. I live in San Angelo. About 5hours from Dallas. We usually say how far in hours here because Texas is that big!
Texas is so diverse!!! It’s one of the reasons I love it so much!!
.....yes it is....but there more Mexican, white ,blacks....that all isaw when I was there for 4 years in texas..
Stationary in SA visit -,Austin Houston
I'm army retired 18years Air combat been in like 12 states
That's cool your here & enjoying life here, but dont forget were keeping it Texas for the things your enjoying. Keep Texas, Texas!!!!!!!
Thanks, guys!!
Doing my research before I make any move. Sounds really good.
Dallas drivers are so crazy. I had to go through there for college and every time I would witness multiple almost-accidents. Your right. Some drive really fast and weave, and some drive SLOW. Which is such a bad thing on the freeway. I'm always so focused when entering dallas.
Glad I found this I’m from Minnesota and moving to Houston at the end of August
Why? Did you move down there?
I live on Lake Corpus Christi between Corpus and San Antonio. The pace here much slower than in the DFW area. I lived in the Seattle area for 20 years and I miss walking in the numerous woods that we don’t have here and I don’t really like the weather here, but when I hear about temps in the Northern states in winter, I’ll take our warm winters any day. The spring winds from the south are so irritating, but when they stop and you start feeling the full force of the heat, you miss the wind. When I lived in the Northwest, I got the strangest looks from people on the street when I said hello or nodded when passing, guess they thought I wanted something from them when instead I was just being friendly. Texans even raise a finger or hand off the steering wheel when they pass you on the road even if they don’t know you. There are many things here I wish were more like the Northwest, but a lot of my life-long dreams have come true since I moved back to my home state. I hope you two can experience some of the better things about Texas than what you’ve found in the DFW area. Welcome y’all.
I’m planning to move to Texas this summer and this video 😩
I am moving this summer too and to Texas
Emma McCarter Hope we both love it
Guarantee you will love it
Saucin 29 Thanks. I’m just waiting on a call from a hiring recruiter.
I moved from Los Angeles to San Antonio....Texas highways in San Antonio, Houston and DFW are so confusing and dangerous.
Property taxes for homeowners are insane!!
No state tax income in Texas and cheaper gas 😎and you can have guns 😎
Been in Houston nearly 6 months and love love love it here! The traffic tho, the drive is so driving...everywhere!! Yikes! First few months took some getting used too but now just get in and move. But the patriotism, the love of God, guns and our freedoms is essential to living! So glad to be from Wa state :)
Give it another year and you’ll want out. The illegals are taking over Houston.
I lived in the Houston area for 35 years before moving to the Black Hills South Dakota.... I miss TX but love the slow pace!
I'm from Brooklyn, moving to Dallas next month. I'm actually here in Dallas now looking at apartments mostly in fort worth... Its funny hearing you guys talk about fast paced. Coming from NY, this is nice and slow... Just not too slow
Yeah we hear that a lot from people moving from CA, NY, and Chicago. Compared to MN they're all fast lol crazy how different the world's we grew up in are!!
Thanks for not being to harsh on Dallas. Yes we are very friendly and courteous here.(That is what sets us apart from New York.)
I’ve been driving in CA for like 15 years and never got into an accident and then got rear-ended in like 3 months when we moved to Northern Dallas.
I loved your video. I live in California and I’ve been from here my whole life. But recently, I have had multiple friends that have left California to go to Texas to live. I know that Texas is a special place to take some of my best friends from me. I know that it has a lot to offer people. It’s bittersweet losing my friends to Texas, but seeing your video, assures me that I think they will be great in Texas too.
I moved from Duluth, MN to Seattle and I love it here.
I was born in Houston, but when I was 11 I moved to St. Louis so most of my life I was in suburbs in Missouri and Illinois. Now I am back here. In one area not right in the city. Just like there it is sooo big. I can attest to everything you said. Exactly the same here. I will add that these cowboys on the road in their pick up trucks are the craziest. And watch out for the 18 wheelers. Just because they have huge blind spots.
OK 11:00 in. People in Texas did not used to play their music loud. Or in anyway cause a disturbance. Those are Teenagers or the City not enforcing noise pollution. You need to move. An leave a notice as of why. We normally talk to residents about this an suggest what we FULLY SUPPORT. Go to a park. Parks you can make lots of noise. But NOT in residential residence.
A few more things: The cities are just like living in any other big city - bumper to bumper traffic, crowds, expensive, diversity, etc. Most people in the cities are from out of state. Dairy Queen is better than Chic-Fil-A. Real Texans drawl, people from out of state don't. Country roads have shoulders. A real Texas kid will call you "ma'am" or "sir." And Texas is HOT from April through November.
I feel the love from here 💕 🥲 yall are just beautiful energy
It's funny...I am german living in Texas since 2017 and I am sure many Texans would say that driving in germany ( no speed limits on Autobahn) is more dangerous... ( therefore the " I survived the german Autobahn shirts ) but I have to say...the driving here is crazy ... oh and having a working AC in your house is essential in TX.
Welcome to Texas! I would recommend to explore South Texas and East Texas and, yes, bring the sunblock and AC unit. Enjoy and take care! Just beware the crazy weather changes in Laredo, especially when the season change (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter). Ex. Spring Season: sudden winter temp. day or Summer: you'll receive a tan without even knowing.
Also, you will have a lot of sunshine here. Welcome to the Sunbelt. I lived on the east coast, so much better living in Texas! It is a different world.
I live in Houston and it is totally different from Dallas. You guys should drive down here for a visit and see how different it is.
I’ve lived in Minnesota my entire life and might move to Texas by the end of this year. Just visited Fort Worth and fell in love with everything there!
We seen an accident when it was raining and our Uber said people don’t know how to drive when it’s rains!🤣
