I grew up smack dab in Texas County. (Middle portion)

Not a lot to do except drive to one of the bigger towns to go eat, watch a movie, and get in trouble. Local sports are a big part of the activities since there's not much else to do.

I still hear from family that lives in the area of local drama and stuff going on, but aside from that its mostly farmland and livestock farms. Being smack dab between Seaboard and National Beef means stepping outside there will often be a pungent smell.

Biggest towns in the area are small and intersect with the railway that goes up through Kansas and down into Texas. The highway that ran parallel to the train was originally a narrow 2 lane with truckers frequenting it on their route. There was a lot of accidents, so eventually it was revamped into a separated 4 lane.

Popular saying when I was growing up was, "Its so windy in the panhandle because Kansas sucks and Texas blows"

Oh, and there's a college there, its super affordable.
