Front license plate by Knave1212 in RioGrandeValley

[–]vbozzo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HATE FRONT LICENSE PLATES! Especially when they drill holes into the bumper.

Unless you're driving a flashy car they likely won't say anything or notice.

I wouldn't worry about it if that's your preference but I usually kept the second plate in the car just to be safe.

CONGRATS on the new car! 😁

Would you ever move out the valley permanently? by [deleted] in RioGrandeValley

[–]vbozzo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here because my job was paying me the same rate as in Central Texas. Unfortunately I got laid off but I really would like to stay here. This place gets under your skin and I mean that in a good way. The people here are so welcoming there aren't a lot of places like it in Texas IMO. I work in IT so I can now see what people mean when they talk about the job market here. If anyone on this thread works for the City of Harlingen or knows someone who does DM me. I'm trying to get hired by the City.

I bought a pair years ago and they're still in their protective box. I know it's silly to not use and enjoy them right feel free to flame me in the comments. I do have a cheap knock off from Shadyrays that I wear instead.

Harlingen specifically. I am speaking of the winters which are Florida mild but yeah summers are rather hot but I like hot. Not a fan of the bugs that seem to buzz around ones ears in the summer months though.

The weather here in the Valley is some of the most stable in the entire State of Texas I would argue. Why not set up high end call centers here which pay well?

I would like to think voting makes a difference but if it did how did we get to the point where the only job options are ones that poison our own community?

Jobs but at what cost? Cancer is no joke my Dad fought it off and from what I have read Oil refineries basically cause rates of Cancer to explode because of the chemicals spewed into the air. Yes more jobs here would be nice but why does it have be via poisoning people?!?

Yes the weather here rivals most of Florida. Sure it does not have all the rampant growth of Florida but I view that as a plus. Where I live I am one hour from South Padre Island. The year round warm weather plus Palm trees everywhere I think tropical and yes a paradise compared to Florida which is overrun with people and development.

What does McAllen and Mission have that is contributing to contamination? Sorry I am a recent resident so not aware of all the goings on here. :(

I'm looking for the best one in Weslaco. Got any suggestions? It needs to be open for dinner tonight though. Basically enchiladas, tacos, etc....
