Never been to or heard much about Paris, TX and now there is a job opportunity I might be interested in there. What can y'all tell me about good ole Paris, TX and the surrounding area? I'd be able to live anywhere in Lamar or Red River County.

What kind of job?

How old are you?

Do you like small town living?

Can you do without big city amenities?

I wouldn't call it a crap hole.....but it is a really boring town in the middle of nowhere.

That town is the definition of boring and I've lived in some boring towns.

There's a crappy indian casino across the border.

I heard they' finally got a teddy bar, but it's crappy.

You can now buy beer without having to drive to Sun Valley or Toco.

You can always drive to Idabel if you feel like getting shot.

Besides the above, not much else going on there. Hope that job is worth it.

Nothing wrong with the job I have now or where we currently live. This would be a step up the ladder but based off what I've heard of that area I'll stay put. There are always more opportunities with my company.

What company was the opportunity with?

My hometown. I have not lived there since I was 17 (2002).

If the job opp is Kimberly-Clark and you're in manufacturing, I would guess that's a pretty good career opportunity. Can't think of any other reason to move there.

Paris is good if you:
- Already have a family
- Like all things small town: Dairy Queen, HS Football, Pancake breakfast fundraisers
- LIke huntin', fishin', muddin', drinkin' a cold beer... ya'll.

If none of that sounds like you - I would look elsewhere.
