    I have lived here my whole life, then moved to Dallas for 7 years , just recently moved back after having kids , I wanted to raise my family in a smaller city and not deal with the high cost of living of a big city, Waco is bigger than people will give it credit for we just don't have enough small entrepreneurs opening entertainment although downtown is growing. We have one of the biggest parks in the country with Cameron park so if you love outdoors you will find something to do there. College kids also have their spots downtown. I would say mostly everyone I know is conservative and trying to raise their families without all the crazy things that come with a larger city. If you are looking for entertainment everyday you won't find it here , but you will find a park where you can create your own. Businesses are popping up left and right in the city , so maybe that will change but that is our current state. I would say Waco is a perfect place to raise a family.

    There are 2 or three alternatives to I-35 that rarely back up.
    As a local i very rarely use 35 unless im going to Dallas or Austin.
    After living in Miami/Fort Lauderdale and Orlando there is no real traffic in Waco.

    I have yet to watch the whole video, but I have to say I really like the cinematography and overall editing of this video, something about the wide camera view and the lighting just make the video feel so much more organic, it has the clean editing style of a popular vlogging channel, and the atmosphere of a hearty little home film, a perfect combination.
    This is such a rare specimen of video, all the elements are done so well, absolutely brilliant.
